The Introduction

Hi,

I'm Adeya. I'm 20, blond, silly and have a tattoo. I'm a student. So I'm also poor and tired and often desolate in the face of homework.

BUT.

In exactly ten day I'm going to be doing something that I've always wanted to do. I'm going to be going on the adventure that I've always wanted to go on, and hopefully, I will not die.

I'm going to travel across the country to go tree planting. I'm taking two buses, one plane, and staying in three cities on my way from Sackville, NB to Prince George, BC. In ten days I leave and in another ten I'll be at my destination. 

I'm seriously on the brink of a full out psychological meltdown with excitement, even when I'm facing my essays.

I can't stop thinking about the amount of pure epic I'm going to get up to.  You know how, when you were 6 years old and really wanted one of those little motorized death-jeeps you would have shanked your most beloved for one? Well, I feel that for traveling. Except my deep urge never was satiated by turning 16 and being able to drive a big motorized death trap. Until now that is. And I didn't even need to shank anyone. I do, however, need to get through two papers and an exam. Which is much much harder because at least your not graded on the quality of your shanking.

Back to the point. Tree planting. Those of you out there are probably questing my ability to be the happiest-I've-ever-been-in my-20-year-lifespan by the opportunity to run across Canada to proceed to dig holes a hole in the ground and put a tree in it. And then doing it again. A lot. In the rain. But believe me, the above situation is not the reason why Mother Theresa could eat a puppy and I'd still be shitting rainbows of glee. It's the opportunities that I can gain by the above situation. Tree planting = money. A lot of it. And I need a lot of it.

The reason why I need a ton of cash is not because of school. Or an apartment. Or a new car. It's because I'm planning on taking a semester off next year. So, the plan is to work until I bleed tears of sweat every single day so that I can do the following:

Cherry pick in either BC or go to England.
Go to England or go fruit picking in Australia.
Go to Australia or go to India.

I have to do three things on that list in the next 9 months in addition to tree planting and I'm mother fucking determined.

This blog is me keeping track of what will happen in the next nine months, and will hopefully help me keep my drive.

I'll totally succeed though.
