Predeparture No.2-- No words to express this feeling

Ha! How cliche right? I don't think that a single word alone can express what ever emotion this is consuming my body right now. I think I have got every thing re-figured out. I had a 3 day mini-melt down that started with me buying the wrong shoes that killed my feet. Not a huge deal right? But then that got me started on the other clothes that I had already packed being appropriate for London or not. I checked the weather forecast for London and Dublin.... totally not right. I started having nightmares of being the fat, annoying American with sun burned skin and a camera strapped around my next, asking people to say something in London. Geez....
So then I took my meds, and then was saved by God and (surprisingly enough) the Google Search Engine from being completely bald from tearing out my own hair. Google and God (or as I call them G squared) brought me this fabulous clothing store that's London-based that carries clothes specifically for my body shape!! I felt so much better seeing these colorful, flashy clothes!! Anyone that knows me, knows that I cannot go too long wearing all black and dreary colors or my soul will die a long slow death. Just ask anyone during tech week when I'm running tech.
Next-- I am packing lightly and trying to save as much money as possible to buy clothes at the London store and see shows and travel to amazing places. Which doesn't leave much of anything else to do except read this 800 page monstrosity called Bleak House. I know back then authors were paid by the word... but seriously... i need some of this detail cut out. I will read it. I will get through it because I am a good student. I just hope it doesn't kill me before I get to see London.

More Later! Gotta read some mo'

Predeparture No. 1

So I haven't ever done a blog thingy before, so here goes!!
First item:
The title of this blog is my favorite quote from the movie 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall.' It pops into my head every time I think about actually being there. With my luck it will pop into my head the first time a cute British guy speaks to me in a pub. Anyway if you haven't seen it... you should. The end.
Second item:
I AM SO DONE WITH SUMMER SCHOOL. It makes sense to take a summer course if you really want to get something out of the way, but seriously???? Do NOT take more than one at a time. I am taking English 200 right now and I have had a paper due every week (in a four day week), if not every other day. I don't know. This is my last week so I understand that I am probably just a little burned out with the course. I usually happens. Whatever right? It will be done in a few days. And then I'll have a week off and after that.......
Third item:
OH MY GOODNESS!!!! I am going to London in two weeks. Granted it's not my first time abroad, but I think that now that I'm a little older I can appreciate it more. There's so much to do that I think my biggest worry is that I won't be able to get it all in, or that I've picked the wrong places to go to and they'll be too pack with other tourists to enjoy. I am however going to have a lunch date with my Dad's friend Julie who used to live in London and still goes there frequently. And hopefully I'm going to see Abbey soon so I can get the inside scoop on Dublin!

Anyway I love you all and I will try and keep this blog updated as much as possible!

Later :)
