hathycolSo I'm moving to London on Tuesday. I am currently an emotional wreck about this, significantly more angsty than I was when I went to university. I am unsure why this is.
I had my leavers do at work on Friday. Fortunately most of people I loathed in work (aka Damn Fool Boss and his wife) were unable to make it, which improved matters significantly. To my surprise they actually organised a collection for me, so I have a Next voucher and some nice wine. I got hammered on my leaving do, but in a more classy way than I normally do. By that I mean that I remember most of the evening and didn't mix my drinks. Truly I am an adult now.
I stayed at my parents house that night (and the next morning, while I rode out the hangover) and spent most of yesterday just hiding under a blanket and feeling weird about leaving the north. I have no idea why this is, really, because I have moved away before and there'snot a lot keeping me here. I think that weirdly I will miss my parents, to be honest, and I already miss my flat. It's now half packed up, and at some point in the very near future I'm going to get the energy to do the rest. Need to, really, given I have a day and a half to get ready.
I think it's nerves. Moving to uni heralded a new start but one with a safety net. Now I have to master a new job, and a new place where I don't know where anything is. I know I can cope, I really do but it's all a bit scary. Plus I'll be down there for three nights by myself. I'm going to spend the time as productively as I can, get my Christmas shopping done, do a test run to work, iron all the things. The major issues are that I don't trust myself to put the furniture together (I will mostly, I suspect, be living off boxes) and that I'll have no internet. Oh well.
When I say 'I'll miss our flat' that might be a bit of a lie, too. Last night I couldn't get to sleep due to upstairs neighbours having a chat, then downstairs neighbours came in at 3.40pm and were noisy and then this morning the upstairs bloke has his young daughter staying so they were up super early. I am NOT going to miss having noisy neighbours so near.
I was meant to be having our 3 piece suite picked up today, as it can't come with us. Got Dad around and everything to stop me being murdered and they didn't even turn up. Christ on a stick. Meant to turn up tomorrow now. We'll see. It was nice to see Dad before I left, though. I'll see Mum tomorrow. I've said a cheery ta ra to everyone else left in the area, I think. I am a teeny bit argh about this.
I'll be okay. I'll be better than okay, I will be frankly magnificent by the time I get down there. And I have lots of very exciting plans, too! I'm going to go and see![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
loneraven do her book signing (MY FRIENDS ARE SO AWESOME, YO), and I'll have my new work Christmas party, and there will be lots of exciting things. And buying a sofa. Richie will be down on Friday. We've spent a lot of time apart recently, and I miss him. He's in Dudley this weekend, drinking beer, but due back, er, really rather soon so I should probably get on with my day. Oh well.
