Two Weeks Until the Beginning of an Adventure

Hello all!

As my first post for this blog, I'd just like to say thank you to everyone who will eventually be subscribing and reading this as I go about my studies and travels in London this summer. I know you all will be hanging on to my every word (sarcasm, get used to it) and I just want to let you know how much I appreciate the support. As a writer, there's nothing worse than no one caring about what you have to say. You all make it possible for me to want to keep writing.

Anyway, it's official. This time in two weeks I will be sitting in the airport waiting to board my plane (flight info. will be posted next week).

I just can't believe the time is actually here. I feel so many things right now; way too many emotions for one person to be feeling. I'm excited and happy about going out and being on my own for a while, yet extremely nervous and anxious about living in a foreign (in more ways than one) city. As mushy as it may sound, I'm also sad to be leaving my family, friends and boyfriend behind. It's the longest amount of time I've been away from any of them, not to mention the farthest distance.

So far I haven't actually done anything in preparation for this trip. I haven't started packing. I haven't even made a list! I'm worried about packing too much and not packing enough all at the same time. It's a very odd feeling. First things first, I need to go online and see how many bags I'm allowed to take and start there.

I'm thinking about packing 3-4 pairs of pants, 3-4 pairs of shorts, 10-12 nice tops, 5-6 tshirts, 4 cardigans, 5-6 dresses, a sweatshirt, all the underwear I own of course, flip flops, a few pairs of flats, and sneakers.

I honestly have no idea how to pack for international travel for two months! More packing details next week!

Well, I think that's about all for now. Next week I will post some more details about the trip and everything!
