Verbs and nerves
I just spent the last few hours rolling my clothes like joints to save space in my suitcase and praying that all that I need for the next three months will be under 50 pounds. And while I doubt that this will be the case, for now it will just have to be since I am exhausted and feeling pretty guilty for needing so much shit to survive.
But I am going to London. And that makes is worth it.
Sure, now I am anxious and exhausted and wringing my hands over the flight (I don't like flying. I don't think there was a time that I ever liked flying). Hopefully all this won't distinguish the spark of excitement that is the main motivation for all this. I am studying abroad, something I've always wanted to do, and dang nabbit, I will not let a scary airplane ride make me forget that.
Stress aside, this will be amazing, as I can see very little proof that it won't be. I plan to have amazing adventures, and hey guess what kiddos? I plan to write about it here, since international phone calls cost an arm and a leg and your first born, and with the time difference I doubt anyone would be online when I feel the need to IM my news of exciting excitement and spectacular adventure.
Not related, but still of interest (my interest, at least): wouldn't it be awesome if I became a superhero while I was over there, and then the adventures I report would actually be...adventurous? Super Student, or Study Abroad Broad, saving the day! Just a thought...
And with that, I recognize the late hour, give this a rest, and vow to be ready to leave tomorrow nerve free and psyched for the extremely thrilling chance this is.
Cheers!
