Am I Leaving The Country Yet?

So I'm leaving for India tomorrow (well I should be, but I'm still anticipating some kind of issue..) and it still doesn't seem like it's happening.  I feel like I'm still going to wake at home next week and just have some shreddies and still feel cold.  Not that I'm going to wake up in a  different bed, have curry and be far too warm.

I finally packed last night. And the only way I can describe it is painful.  I hate packing at the best of times, so late at night with a years worth of stuff was even worse. But it all fitted! Just...


I also re read some of the teaching manuals Project Trust gave us and that made me panic a little.  Turns out I know less about teaching than I thought.  I'm really hoping that some kind of instinct will kick in and I'll suddenly know how to teach.  Otherwise it's going to be an interesting first few weeks.  I'm just going  to make some star charts and have them singing some songs.  I think that's going to be my teaching method.



At the moment I'm not sure what the wifi and internet situation is going to be like, so if anybody does email me or anything, I'm not sure how quickly I'll be able to reply.  Not that I reply quickly now.. With internet all the time.  But feel free to message me here,
on facebook (www.facebook.com/niamh.campbell.96),
on twitter, although I'm not sure I'll really update that very much.. (twitter.com/Its_Niamh_)
or I also have an email niamhcaampbell@gmail.com (yes, it does have two 'a's) which may be the best way of contacting.
I also have a skype account and a phone number for heading out, although I will hopefully be getting an Indian sim to make things easier.  So if anybody wants those please get in touch, I would love to keep in touch with everybody.

I will also have an address.. Which I don't have yet.. But as soon as I get it I will post it so you can all write letters!  I would love to get letters.  Even if it's almost like a stupid diary of your week or something, it would be lovely to have a piece of home to have when I'm there.  Please write, it doesn't have to be like The Notebook, but maybe a couple would be nice.

I would just like to say thank you to everyone who has gotten me this far.  Everyone for help with the fundraising, especially everyone who came to the ceilidh.  It was a really good night and I really want to come back and go to a ceilidh like that when I come back from India.  Thank you to everyone who bought cakes, biscuits, marshmallow snowmen and kripsy cakes.  Thank you also to the charitable trusts who donated without even knowing me personally.  And a really big thank you to Karl for donating £400 after he pulled out of heading away with Project Trust as well.

Thank you to everybody and I hope you all have an amazing year and I'll hopefully see you all when I come back!!
