Tomorrow, Tomorrow, I Love Ya, Tomorrow

Welp, I leave tomorrow, so unreal. It all still seems like a dream, like its all pretend but then I look at my list of stuff I still need to do and pack and reality sets back in. Yesterday and today are full of last minute errands, meeting up with friends one last time, and running around the house frantically trying to pack five months into two suitcases. Way too much to do in the little time that I have left.

My flight leaves tomorrow around 10pm out of Dulles, so thankfully I'll have the morning and early afternoon to finish up all I need to do as well. After a 7 hour flight, I should land in London Heathrow early Saturday morning and have the rest of the day to somehow attempt to find my dorm, move all my stuff in, and go shopping for all the essentials I'm unable to bring with me... aka all toiletries, towels, bedding, food. Luckily, we have a family friend who lives in London, not far from where I am staying, and she gave me what she thinks is the easiest way to get from the airport to my dorm which cuts down on the chaos a little bit. Also, in another twist of fate, I just found out that a friend from high school who I haven't spoken with since will also be studying at UofW this spring! So strange how things like that work out, but so thankful to know someone else over there.

Thats all for now, next post I'll be in LONDON!

One Month More!

So this is my first post on this brand new blog and I'm posting for two reasons: first, I just made the blog this afternoon and wanted to test it out/experiment with fonts, colors, formats, etc. but also because it is less than a month til departure! Two weeks ago we had our pre departure orientation here at school where they unloaded information upon information unto us, but we also got to the other people traveling abroad this spring. There are two girls going to University of Westminster with me, Lara- who I bought my plane ticket and will be flying over with, and Molly- who is actually living in the same building as me for the semester. Getting more and more excited each day and less and less nervous (ask me again about the nerves come January) so this seemed like a good time to create this blog!

My plan is to update the blog about once a week, but that will vary greatly based on what my schedule is like and if there has been anything worth posting lately. Be sure to check back in January when I actually start blogging!

Cheers!
