and so i'm officially obsessed with the world cup, despite not understanding anything about football (and not really caring to be honest!). it's just such a social event. my brain is now completely filled with useless football info, which i seem to remember much better than other, more important things. errr.
the italy - usa match was truly terrible though. one player sent off and an own goal??? sad, sad, sad. and not getting a goal when we were playing 10 to 9. sigh.
other than that, i've started planning my departure from sigli (forever)... which will happen in 11 days. it's always sad leaving a place, but i'm very excited about what's going to happen next; can't wait to do more travelling! this is my itinerary as i've planned it so far... the thing i'm most excited about is angkor wat, methinks, which is going to be my first stop. i hope i'll be able to keep taking amazing photos like i've done until now (and i'm not being unmodest, it's just that this part of the world really lends itself to wonderful photography), mmmh... i've also decided i'm going to be better than i've been before and keep track of everything i see, and possibly how much i spend, etc.
i'm still a bit worried about the whole low blood pressure thing, since it wouldn't be nice to pass out whilst travelling on my own, but it's been getting better. i had another couple of episodes when i felt very weak, but that was a few days back. so i hope everything goes ok. one thing's for sure, when i get back i'm going for a complete check up, blood tests included (brrr). right after that i'm going a diet cause i feel huge. :)
nothing much is happening; which leaves me even more time to get all melanchonic about leaving soon. silly, silly me. i will miss some people lots... phil, and the francescos, and n. most of all... well that's how life goes. and it does mean i'll have a few more friends dotted around the world. my network is expanding slowly...! the only continent i'm missing right now is... south america, methinks.
nothing to do. arrrrrgh.
