The last Tim Hortons...

Right...so I know that I'm not going to be out of Canada for that long. But...that means I'm going to be away from my precious Tim Horton's large double double for just that long. I just realized that I have become so dependent on a caffeine-based beverage to get me through the majority of my day...either at work, school or whathaveyou. But who cares? coffee is good and research has shown that caffeine acts as a performance and endurance enhancer and also as a catalyst for fat loss and weight control -- obviously without all that thick cream and sugar. I LOVE COFFEE!

So today, I finally started packing. Then realized that I was missing a lot of important things...like clothes. So I went out to College Sports and Sport Check to pick up some non-cotton t-shirts, cause all I pretty much have is cotton shirts. Cotton sucks when it's humid or if you're doing anything physical cause it sticks to your back and doesn't dry properly. The last thing I want is to be even more uncomfortable in 40 degree HUMID weather, so spending the money now made the most sense to me. I also picked up a bigger pack so I can carry my laptop, camera and other things as carry-on luggage, on top of my bigger suitcase. But I'm sure most of you don't care about my shopping habits...and to be honest, neither do I.

I can't beleive how fast time has gone since I found out about the trip. It was just like yesterday that I started work and now I'm packing up ready to go. To be honest, it still hasn't really sunk in yet, and I don't think it will until I'm either in the car on the way to the airport or sitting on the plane, halfway across the Atlantic. People tell me I should be more excited, but trust me I will be excited as soon as I realize that I am actually on my way on such an amazing trip. In the mean time, I better finish packing so I don't forget anything in my haste. Thanks for reading.

Cheers!
Simon
