Count down to FDTP...

Eiko says...
It's 34 minutes into the 31st of August. That leaves me with 3 more days till I head off with Ken and Rica (is that how you spell her name?) and Yasu for the FDTP. What to do? What to say? Not much. For some reason or another, the FDTP isn't my very favorite subject to think about, much less write about, and I just finished writing 4 full pages of why I'm dreading the FDTP, what I'm expecting from it, and how I need to make it my time and money's worth in my diary!
One thing's for sure: it's going to be so darn tiring.
It's also for sure that the classes are going to be awesome. But these awesome classes will also for sure be long. You see, my concentration span is no more than 1 hour and I think this will be a problem, not only for me, but for the staff.
Word Class Staff:"What's that head of hair doing on the table instead of on a sturdy set of shoulders, held high and alert by a sturdy neck? Don't tell me that's Eiko again, dozing off into dream world!" I can see it already. Sigh.
Well, we'll see how this goes once the time comes. I also have a sleeping disorder where sleeping during normal, human hours (which are usually anywhere from 10:30 to 12:30 in my books) is very difficult, so no doubt this will also be a problem which will probably contribute to my being the sleepy head during classes that are anything over an hour. I think it might also affect me during P.E time.
P.E staff: "Eiko, is that the fastest you can run? Holy...!" I dread P.E... so much.
But we'll see how that goes as well.
Oh, and I'm not good in large, human settings. I mean, crowds suffocate me. I tend to feel a bit nauseous and faint when there are over 5 unfamiliar faces in one room. How the heck am I suppse to feel in a room full of over 20? Eeek! This results in a very strange Eiko that acts slightly different..., no, make that very different than the Eiko we are used to being around at Home. I don't like this Eiko very much. It's quite stressful, you know. You see why I'm bound to come back tired and greying?
And of course, this is me being all very negative and whiny. The FDTP will be fine. God bless all the staff that are working so hard to prepare everything so nicely for us. I'm truly thankful. And I also think it'll be a good change for me. Everyone needs change. Change of senery, change of food, change of company, change of weather, change of room mates, change of schedule...and I'm going to get all of this and then some during the 4 weeks at the FDTP! What more could I possibly ask for?
Hmm...let me think.
Pasta! If I get to eat good pasta at least twice over there, I think I'll be fine. Really. ;)
Okay, I ought to try sleeping now.
Nighties.
