I am *so* excited! Its Greenbelt tomorrow!!!!! Its a big occasion - only happens once a year! I heard quoted once on some GB publicity that a young Greenbelter stated that Christmas and Greenbelt were the best times of the year. And I know the feeling. This may sound silly, but there has been a 'Christmas eve' kinda feeling about today. The build up of excitement and anticipation. The preparations, ok, so I haven't been preparing for the birth of Jesus or for a Christmas dinner, but I have been buying food and packing. And I am going to be seeing a lot of friends (and some family) that I haven't seen for a long time, just like at Christmas when our family reunites.

As I'm on holiday at the moment, I've had the whole day to get my stuff ready and make the last minute arrangements, and now I'm all ready to go. I still have to make my parents house slightly more presentable, so that when they come back it isn't a complete tip! I'm back-packing it there this year, for the first time without any access to a car, but I'm camping with a group of friends and we have shared out the necessary camping equipment. I have to be leave the house at 7.30am tomorrow, and haven't woken up before 9am this week*, so an alarm will definately be needed!

I am definately looking forward to the wibmeet and generally meeting up with friends I haven't seen for a long time, as well as all the music, talks and general atmosphere you find there. I will be helping on the SCM stall in the pulse again, so come and say hello!

*This excludes the morning when I woke up at 3am due to the mouse in my room and didn't get back to sleep again.
