Wow. I cannot believe it is almost finally here. I have been waiting for this day since February. It seemed so far away then and now it's finally starting to feel real. My plane takes off tomorrow night from Minneapolis at 9:45pm and lands in London at 12:05pm London time the next day. Thank goodness for direct flights! The time difference is 6 hours ahead and that will definitely take a little time to get used to. From the airport, we will take a shuttle to where we will be taking our classes. From there, it's up to us to figure out how to get to our homestays. At least everyone speaks English, so hopefully we won't get too lost. We will probably end up taking the tube from our school. I'm sure that whole situation will make for an amazing story. I'll keep you posted.
Packing my suitcase has gone a lot better than expected. I have almost everything in there at this point and it's still under the weight restriction of 50 pounds. I'm also bringing my tennis racquet since another girl from my tennis team, Anna, will be on the trip as well!
Saying goodbye to my high school and college friends was pretty tough, but I know how excited they all are for me and it's so easy to stay in touch through Skype and Facebook. I'll miss you guys!!
Well, the next time I will be writing on this blog I'll be in London! That is so crazy to think about. I can't wait :)
