So tomorrow I will leave for my training week on the Isle of Coll.. my second trek up to the most westerly island of the Hebrides in Scotland! This adventure consists of an early morning, a long day of train connections, overly priced tea in the stations and a late night..
Luckily this time I will have company for the majority of my trip in the form of Meg, a girl I met on my first 'interview' week on Coll. We immediately made friends being both welsh and slightly crazy, and are lucky enough to have the same training week even though we're going to different countries.
I am faced with the slightly daunting realisation that either tomorrow or monday will be the first time I meet my partner whom I will be living with for the next 12 months come August the 2nd.. It's really strange trying to imagine living with someone for a year, let alone someone you've never met before, and being reliant on them for company when we leave for Honduras and our project..despite the fact we will have only met once, she will be the closest thing to home that I will have with me when I go...
I'm not worried at all about us not getting on, because when I went up for the Interview week there was not one person in my group that I didn't get on with and like, so I'm sure we'll get on really really well, but it's just a bit odd that I've been waiting to meet this girl, and she me for the last 7 months and our first conversation could be on the train (this is how I imagine it will go)
"hey, are you with Project Trust?"
Yes, are you?
(getting excited)
"so where are you going?"
'Honduras, you?
(more excited)
Honduras...which project?
"La Union"
OH MY GOODNESS SAME!
and that's it..Introduction: DONE
I will be honest, if it doesn't happen like this I will be a little disappointed, so no pressure mystery girl!
