Hullo

I've never really been in a foreign country, and with London less than a month away, I'm getting anxious. Still, I keep telling myself London is less than a month away! It's London, baby! London! And then I'm excited and can't wait for these next four weeks to get over with.

Most of my London adventure is still up in the air; we still haven't chosen our classes for the semester and, of course, we'll have to flat-hunt upon arrival. Meg and I plan to travel as much as possible, so with any luck, picking classes will let us start planning some of our trips. That should happen at some point this week. In our preliminary flat-hunting online, we didn't find anything promising, which prompted us to stop looking online and just wait until we get there. Students do it every semester and they're fine. We'll be fine, too.

I meant to update two days ago (exactly one month prior to departure), but with classes winding down and finals sneaking up, even the weekends are pretty hectic. And as such, here is my introduction entry today instead - those two little paragraphs up top, and the sentences to come.

Going to London is going to be fabulous no matter how conflicted I may be at the moment, and since I plan to be very busy while I'm across the pond, I won't have as much time (or resources) as I would like to be able to update all of my friends and family on my status and adventures. I'm going to try to post as often as possible and will, in all likelihood, end up writing a lot more often than I think I'll be able to. Eventually, once I have some, I'll have a link over on the side to a photo album chock full of pictures to accompany my stories. And, I promise, whenever I get the chance, I'll try to check in with everybody in some other form. In the meantime, however, I encourage comments or questions (which I will try my hardest to respond to in a timely fashion) so I know everyone back home is surviving without me.
