I'm leaving tomorrow to go to London for the semester, and if I weren't so tired from all the planning that's been going on this past week, I'd be more articulate about it right now.
I have until about 6pm tomorrow to finish my packing, then it's off to the airport where I will probably do a little more crying and get on the plane, where I will attempt to sleep for a few hours but will be lucky if I sleep for ten minutes. Then I'll get to Heathrow, which is the cleanest place I've ever been in that isn't a hospital, certainly the cleanest place I've ever been in that doesn't have trash cans. I'll take the shuttle bus to campus, and then I'll probably say I should get to the pub and meet some people who will potentially become my lifelong friends, but I'll most likely pass out while I'm getting dressed.
I've wanted to do this for years. Study abroad in London, that is. Something about it has always drawn me. I can't wait to just be settled there.
I'll be keeping another blog during the next few months, documenting my time abroad. Don't know how this one will hold up, but I might pop in every now and then to ramble about things not England-related. But you should read my London blog (http://semesterinlondontown.tumblr.com/) even if it's just because you like the layout. I deliberated a long time on that.
