First of all, I apologize for lack of pictures. I always think pictures make blog posts more interesting (we are, after all, visual creatures). I planned ahead and made sure to put my camera in my carry-on bag. But then I forgot that I put my cords in a bag in another bag packed far, far away. So, no pictures today.
That's not what's important, though. What's important is that today is the day. THE day. The day I leave for England. It hasn't quite sunk in yet that for the next few months (until I come home for Christmas), I won't be sleeping in my bedroom, won't be driving my car, won't be going to Alterra with friends, won't be walking by Lake Michigan, won't be eating breakfast with my mom, won't be in America. It hasn't quite sunk in yet that this isn't a vacation, but a new life, at least for two years. I think once I'm in Cambridge, settled into my new hostel, and going to Freshman events at the school...then it will be real.
However, for you dear reader, today is an awesome day. Today is the day I stop blogging about bad restaurants and fun things I'm doing in Milwaukee that you're not doing (I know you were jealous the night I went to MAM After Dark, Fish Fry and a Flick, AND Irish Fest). Today is the day I start blogging about cool, foreign-ish topics like blood pudding and the Queen and punting. My awkwards and awesomes will be MORE awkward and awesome. Stay tuned, tell your friends, and please, please, please actually follow the blog (I think this is the reason people can't comment...because they're not TRUE followers).
So. Plane. Coming soon. Wish me luck, say a prayer. I'd rather not crash over the ocean unless I'm guaranteed to have a Lost-like experience complete with Sawyer, Sayid, Jack, Boone, Faraday, Jin, Charlie, and Desmond. I'll skip the Smoke Monster, polar bears, human experimentation, and general morbidity, though.
