two weeks!

I'm ecstatic about this semester, but I'm surprised it's coming up so soon. These next four months are more than likely going to be the best and most exciting ones of my life. I'm documenting my time in London for myself (when I am too old to remember it, I can look back and relive my youth) and for my parents, relatives, and friends (who want to stalk me/know what I'm up to).

Two weeks stand between me and my departure. I have my passport, visa, and all other important documents. I've looked online for potential flats, things to do, and places to go. I've got two London maps. I've registered for classes. I have an internship. I've seen all of my doctors for check-ups. I bought our "book of the term" (Bill Bryon's "Shakespeare: The World as Stage").

You may be wondering what else there is to do. Well, I need to read the book, buy a few more essentials, savor my last days in Owego/America, say bye to friends, and pack. That's a lot to do in two weeks.

I'm trying not to worry about: 1) not being able to fit everything in my suitcases; 2) missing home, Ithaca, family+dog, friends; 3) not finding a place to live that is reasonable in location and price; 4) getting lost on the tube; 5) getting lost on the streets... I could go on and on. These things aren't keeping me up all night, but everytime I think about it... London is one day closer.

Holy moly.
