Jabs, Visas, and Other Fun Things!

Well, Monday I went to see the nurse, had a Hep B jab, and she very nicely informed me that I didn't need to have any more! I like this kind of discussion! (saved me £60 as well) 
Went to the bank today, and they said I just need to make sure my phone details are up to date so they can check it is me using my card in India. Went to O2 who have suggested I transfer my phone number to a Pay As You Go Sim for the three months I'm out there, so I don't have to pay for a contract I'm not using. 
Going to Birmingham tomorrow to the embassy to (hopefully) get my visa sorted. 
It's all go! 
Still need to sort out health insurance, and do some other bits and pieces, buy a new water bottle (going to get one in Bham hopefully), find some decent navy blue trousers... all the exciting things in life. Can't wait to actually be on the plane now - I am bored of planning! 


Oh, and I've been planning Wales, because my love of planning things is clearly that large. Everything is nearly sorted now - I have organised everything I need to organise (I hope). One final meeting for that on Thursday (I hope) and then we're off on Monday (I hope!) 


But now, to the important things in life - off to read Harry Potter! Going to see the new film on Saturday - can't wait!

Summer Holidays

So, America was a long time ago now, but I had an amazing time :) Then I finished my degree off, and graduated, which was also amazing! So now it's my very last summer holiday, this time next year I will hopefully be doing one of those job things, so in order to make the most of this time, before I head off to India, I am obviously doing my QG exploration, amongst other things. Full summer plans go: Devon on Saturday for a week, then back in Leicester for a week, and then the exploration, then a friends wedding, then Charnwood 2011 for a week, then three weeks of getting ready for India! 


So currently in process:
QG Planning: 
- health forms
- risk assessments
- planning a walk
- organising travel


India Planning: 
- visa (must fill in electronic application veerrryy soon!) 
- jabs (booked for Monday 15th) 
- insurance
- homework (might right some of this up here) 


I also need to actually unpack from getting back from uni before I have to repack for Devon! But The OC is on TV (mostly because we put the DVD in and pressed play...) so I'm just going to sit on my backside all evening instead :P
