The Journey Begins

Sitting here in the Atlanta airport waiting for my flight to South Korea, the clock shows 8:10 and I have two simultaneous thoughts:

1. I have been without sleep for 24 hours now. In my effort to get a head start on the jet-lag (and because I procastinated all my packing till the last minute) I stayed awake all night.

2. I don't know when I'll see the 8:10 cafe again. And I have an IOU of $0.75 pending. Maybe someone who owes me money will clear it for me? I'm sure someone owes me money...

As my sleep deprived brain feels less and less excited, the euphoria of finishing school and the joy of traveling are wearing thin. And what is finally creeping up on me is the feeling that I'm going to miss Owen. All the lovely friends, the awesome things we did together, the silly gossip, the petty politics... everything! I suddenly don't want it to be over anymore. This is probably the last time I'm going to be in school and it is over quickly. Too quickly!

At least I have the China trip to look forward to. There will be friends from Owen again, and this time around I'm going to take my time saying goodbye!

@Crystal: Welcome to my blog. Like the friendly ghost said, Mon Phren is a hashed-up word i created from Greek roots and means "My Mind"

@Friendly Ghost: For someone who seems to visit my blog the moment I wrote something, I should love you forever!! Some hint to your identity??

I'm going to China to do a school related project... but that's only an excuse. After the project is done, I'm staying back and travelling through China for about a week. Then Hong-Kong, then Vietnam, then Singapore, Malaysia.. and finally to India. I'll be back in India by April end.

Is the project about some vodka survey again ? :P

Now, this is very tantalizing. Padmaja? Andrea?

Well, this project is not about Vodka. It is a sourcing project for a supermarket chain in India that wants to expand fast..
