Ah to start a blog...

hello all, (and by all I mean the three people who are probably reading this)
So it turns out I leave for London in exactly three weeks, and because I have a final at 7:45 am tomorrow morning, I am starting this blog right now as a procrastinating measure :)
As of now there isn't much to say besides I'm feeling all the emotions I imagine everyone goes through when leaving loved ones and entering another country for four months. But as my mother has told me, it's not a 'goodbye' it's a 'i'll see you later.' So as I make a point of seeing everyone for the last time for awhile, I'm doing my very best to not say goodbye. The hardest goodbyes are still yet to come, so hopefully I will be able to make it through them without making too big of a scene :)
I better get back to the American Revolution though!
I am looking forward to enlightening all of you with my life as I experience something that i feel will only happen once in a life time!!! wish me luck!
