The Final Countdown

Dec. 31
Soooooo, I'm leaving in two days for London. I think I'm mostly excited now, which is good :-) It's sort've bittersweet, as I know I'll have a fantastic time (okay, I mean that I SHOULD), meet some decent people, maybe come back with a British accent (here's hoping!). At the same time, I'm going to miss everyone a lot. I just have to keep telling myself that I'll be back before I know it, and that everyone will keep in touch with me (you hear that, kids? You'd better, you bet.)

Anywho, I'm almost all packed- I just have to throw some things in that I use on a daily basis. Like my laptop. My flight is confirmed, my place on the shuttle to get me to the school from Heathrow is booked, and I'm pre-registered for two courses. Oh wait, THAT'S no good. So I'm mildly stressing about courses, I don't like not knowing which ones I can take and I'm afraid of ending up in some I really don't want to take. I printed off a list of ones that sound promising (some examples, renamed par moi: Sightseeing for Credit, Watching Disney Movies and Ballets, Learn How to be a Code Breaker, Now We'll Tell You What an Actuary Is, and I'm in London So Maybe I'll Learn German), so hopefully I'll get four of those. I also might need to rethink my travel plans. I have a few too many places I want to go.

I'll try to be good about posting blog posts here on a fairly regular basis- we'll see how successful I am- but please also IM me or Skype me or Facebook me and whatnot, I'm going to miss everyone a bunch and want to know what's going on back stateside!
