Two days left until I scoot off to England! This week has been nuts but awesome. Friday my friend Andy had a going away party thing for me. Tino, Nick and Samit showed up and we all played some Rock Band 2 and had a bit to drink. It was so awesome that people were able to show up.
Sunday, Nick, Erik Ferris and Angie all helped me move furniture and stuff out of my apt. Thank god they did, I never could have done it myself. It was weird but awesome that I could introduce three of my friends to each other for the first time and they all really got along. Moving stuff was crazy but we all had a lot of fun too. Or maybe it was just fun for me, because I wasn't doing a lot of heavy lifting.
Today Angie helped me with the last of the moving. You know, after she and Sam donated blood. Angie must be a damn blood factory, because she didn't seem faint at all after moving a futon, box spring mattress, desk, and two bookcases.
So now that most of my stuff is moved out of the apt, I am finally more excited than nervous about going to England. Five months...wow. I'm going to miss so much in America. Except for the stupid people and reality TV. Definitely not going to miss either of those.
Tomorrow I'm canceling my cellphone, internet service, and electric at the apartment. Then Thursday, I leave at 5:30 for England! Well, technically for Copenhagen in Denmark for my connecting flight to England, but whatever. Now I just need to learn how to say "Please help me, I'm lost" in Danish.
