I've just been given a date for my flight - the 24th of May. This is now several months later than originally planned, which is unfortunately what happens if you try and coordinate with other people, but at least the delay means I'll be able to catch the new ster trek film. It's all suddenly become much more concrete for me - I really am going to spend three months in a place without internet access, jam and toilet paper.
Eeeeeep.
