i feel i should make some sort of documentation of my externship, seeing as it is a really big "to-do" in my life at this point.
i got my blue card in the mail yesterday. it's my student work visa. all i have to do now it line up a flat and my plane tickets and the show is on the road. i feel bad, b/c heather, the girl going with me, is jumping around everytime we talk about it and i just kinda smile and nod. don't get me wrong, i'm stoked, but in the back of my mind all i can think about is what i'll be missing when i'm gone. i'm going to miss christmas and thanksgiving with my family and evan. but then i remind myself, how many kids my age are going to have this experience? living in london for 3 months by themselves, free to do whatever, whenever? not many. i know i'll appreciate every second over there, but i have a feeling i will get homesick after a month or so. but i'm already counting on it flying by. it's only 90 days...
i can't wait to meet chef bill, he seems like a really cool guy. i can't wait to see what he is going to offer us to bring back with us to the states. this guy is hard-core awesome. he's invented his own chocolate. like, making from scratch. i feel like i'm going to be part of the british chocolate revolution. hehe.
i'm stoked that jamie and col are coming to see me. i can't wait to roam europe with them. mwahahaha. watch out europeans everywhere, the terrible trio is on the way.
aside from that, i'm really tired. i can't wait to graduate and for this duel schedule thing to end. i want a normal life where all i do is work. nothing else. just work and have fun. i'm burnt out on school.
shit, time to get back to work...
