Last night after I got home from work, It was nothing but progress. Not only did I redo all of my already finished Icelandic lessons, I was also motivated enough to do all of my laundry and clean my room! This is extremely exciting for someone like me, trust me.
I talked to my dad yesterday, he asked how he could help me with my travels. I told him that the truth was, at the rate that I am going with saving my money. I will just barely make it to the amount that I need and even that would be pushing it. He said that he would help me out as much as possible. Just last night, Ashleigh told me that she would not allow me to fail. She said that I have to go. I'm not sure how she would help me out financially but I know that I really like hearing that from her. It means a lot, really.
I am meeting up with Tim after work today. He showed much interest in coming with me when I mentioned this to him last week. His problem is school however, he still has another year of high school left. I have complete confidence that he really wants to go. I just don't know if he can leave exactly when I want to leave.
I feel like discouragement is inevitable in regards to this, but so far everyone that knows about my plans has been extremely encouraging and insightful. I'm sure most of the reason is the fact that they don't actually see me going through with it. Don't misunderstand. I am not doing this at all just to prove people wrong or impress anyone. Although it would seem that way sometimes. A lot of the reason I am doing this is for everyone else. So that they will look at their life and situation and be able to say "I can go anywhere I want" no one should feel stuck. But anyway, when discouragement comes I just have to greet it with open arms and continue on my way with it following me, not leading me.
