So, I said that I wasn't planning on posting again until I arrived in London, but it's actually all I can think about right now, so I figured I'd just get my thoughts down while I have nothing else to do. Right now things are very slow. I leave in exactly 2 weeks from today, but it doesn't seem soon enough. My friends are starting to go back to school, and I'm done with work for the summer, so each day just seems so boring...I need to go to Europe! I just got my housing information, which makes everything more real. I'll be living in a flat at 1 Bloomsbury Place (such a cute name!) I'm in a 6 person suite on the 3rd floor. In the flat there are a bunch of other students on the same program, some from Clark, and some from other U.S. universities. I'm really excited to be living in a real flat in central London. As soon as I got my address I went on GoogleMaps and looked at the street view to see what the place looked like and what the surrounding area was like. It looks absolutely adorable, and right across the street is a nice park, and around the corner there are a bunch of shops. There is even a Starbucks down the block. How perfect! So yeah, everything seems to be coming together, and the day that I leave keeps getting closer and closer, so I can only get more excited as each day passes. Right now I can only continue to fill my days with getting ready to leave, doing errands, reading travel books on London, spending time with friends and family...and thinking about how to fit all of my belongings in one 32 inch yellow rolling duffel bag.
p.s. The picture above is a picture of my flat in Bloomsbury!
