Pre-trip thoughts

I'm very anxious. Tomorrow I'm going to be going to London. And then I will be actually living there. There are many things to be nervous about. I feel like I've packed too much but at the same time didn't bring enough. I'm going to be living in one of the most expensive cities in the world, and I don't really have much money. Only two of four classes are confirmed. I'll have to ride the tube everyday. I've never flown by myself.

Of course, the excitement outweighs the nervousness. I'm not totally alone in travelling. My soon-to-be roommate is on the same flight as me, in the seat next to me. I met her in my study abroad class. We get along really well, and I'm glad to have her to travel with. I already love England, so living there is going to be really great. There are so many great galleries and museums there to see fantastic art; as well as theaters! I'm so excited for all the shows I am going to see.

I think if anyone wants to comment on my posts, they should be able to, you might need a blogger or google account (which are free to create one and you don't have to do anything with it if you don't want to except be able to comment). Eventually I will put pictures on Picasa, probably a few on Facebook.


Well, that's all for now. I have to go to bed so I am well rested for my day of travel.
And if anyone is curious, I am bringing three pieces of luggage, and I could've fit everything in two bags, but the weight limit on the checked baggage got me, so I decided to go for three. At least now I can bring my travel scrabble. :) Adios all!
