Making trouble and skipping Christmas

I don't think Wanda is all to thrilled with my decision to take off to Suds, she has had to reorder a flight itinery leaving from Sudbury. So god, I hope everything goes as planned, although I am trying to get a hold of her to tell her it's ok if I have to leave from TO. I have started to get in contact with some of the other interns. There are several in Paris, and two others in Vienna, although one is apparently older. Perhaps I will have some travel companions... and someone to spend the holidays. I am seriously considering the idea of just skipping Christmas. I will miss my stocking though, that is my favourite part! It's all aways the best. Santa is always good to me. This will be a Christmas of many firsts: the first one without my aunt, the first one in Europe, and the first one completely away from any family. So it will be a different experience. I am torn I want to get going at the same time, but I would like to stay in Canada until after x-mas. My friend Val who is going to South Korea, right after christmas to teach english is lucky that she will be here. But you know it will be nice to get away from all the North American commercialism. It's every where now, stores are already playing carols, but tis the season so fa la la la la la la la la. Speaking of shopping, and commercialism incase you cared found a really cheap huge suitcase/bag ($20) so I can pack my stuff, and a cute pair of black boots for $13! It was a productive day. So fa la la la la la la la la.
