Counting down - the last 48 hours in Scotland

[Alan]

I'm getting a bit nervous now. I go to Valencia on Monday morning (well, I go to London on Monday morning and to Valencia later in the evening). Butterflies are in my stomach because I don't know what I'll be doing for work and I don't even know where I'll live. All I have is my suitcase and a booking for a hostel where I'll share a room with eleven other wanderers. The time comes closer when I'll have to say goodbye to my girlfriend and leave her, probably crying, in her house alone. One of my friends called me a 'cock' for doing that.

But this negative attitude is down to last minute nerves and I really can't wait to get there. I'm recording today (I play in a folk band) and was looking forward to the drive to the studios, but the fog blocked out almost everything. Later, it cleared, revealing the beauty of the Scottish Lowlands. I should have brought my camera. You know that image you have in your mind of the mist rolling over the hills? It's like that now, but very sunny.

...it's been raining in Valencia :)

Your friend should really apply the same expletive to himself for saying that to you. It'll be a hard few days but you'll never regret it.

Can't wait for an update when you get there, and if you need anything you have all the back up you need here in Madrid.

Muchisima suerte - Ben

Well done Alan, you deserve a great deal of respect for following this through, I am certain that youll have a ball - first job is to find an internet cafe and keep us all up to date!! Details!!!!

yeah,

Like everyone, i wish you all the luck :thumbs-up: . Who knows what will happen. If it isnt what you thought it was going to be, then at least you wont live the rest of your life with the regret or nagging in the back of your head saying 'what if'. Im sure things will go well though.

Look forward to hearing from you.

You go Alan!

You're scared and that is perfectly understandable. It doesn't help that you have such a judgemental friend (whose probably envious of your chutzpah). You are courageous!

Get yourself settled in Valencia first. Keep us posted afterwards at your earliest convenience.

Ole Listo!

Enjoy your last 2 days, Listo. You're making a really gutsy move, but I imagine that you'll find work rather quickly, and you'll land on your feet.
