Updated Gap Year plan!!

I had been looking on a website called www.STAtravel.com and they had some really amazing gap year trips for very reasonable prices.  So, I went to see STA last week at their shop in Brighton and on my first visit I spent about 2 hours 30 minutes there discussing with Tori (my travel planner) all the amazing options I had of places to go and things to do! I booked another appointment with her for after my exams but my excitement got the better of me so a few days later after I'd gone home and worked out the dates I could do I phoned up and went back there.. another 2 and a half hours passed and we were on the verge of booking my trip of a lifetime (or one of ;)). I had to go back the next day to complete all the many complications of my trip but long story short (although it's really not that short anymore..) I've given away my entire life savings! I'm sure it'll be entirely worth it :D!!! I still need to work every hour God gives me for the next few months in order to pay it off eek! Hence the frantic job searching! 

So, for those of you who like to stalk my every move I shall give a brief outline of what my GY looks like at the moment i.e. where I'll be and when :)
