London Calling

Sooooo I'm headed off to London in two short days. Funny, I should be packing but instead I find myself doing everything I possibly can to procrastinate. Such is life. Anyways, I guess I'll keep this one short. I'm extremely excited about my upcoming trip but I can't help but feel a little bit sad as well. I just got to finally spend some time with family and friends I haven't seen in months; I got to see my sister graduate college and before I come back she will start med school. I spent time with my dad who rarely takes this much time off of work. I got to see my best friend who I pretty much won't see again until Christmas because by the time I come back she will be gone. I got to see some other good friends who I won't be seeing again until I get back in August. Its funny how just a few days at home can make one even more homesick at the thought of leaving again.

Anyways, like I said, I'm really excited about what this trip may bring. And when I say that, I mean that I am going into it with absolutely no expectations. I want to be open to absolutely everything and have as many experiences as I possibly can. I want to learn everything I can, enjoy my internship (which I am SUPER PUMPED UP about), meet new people, and just enjoy Europe in general. I know a few friends from boston and my sister and my parents will be coming to visit me while I'm there, so that makes me happy. And I know that I will have a few friends that I already know who will be there with me, which is also comforting. But I guess despite my sadness at leaving home so quickly after getting here, I am ready to seize the day. London is calling with 12 weeks worth of opportunities to enrich my mind and my life. This will be work and play all rolled up into one and I plan on making the absolute most of it that I can. I'm going to try to regularly blog about whats going on in londontown. If you want to keep in contact with me while I'm there your best chance is probably via e-mail, facebook, aim, or skype. I'm going to have a cell but I'm not sure of the number yet or the plan and how practical it would be for me to call the states or anyone in the states to call me. But yah...keep in touch, keep me updated on your lives my dear friends, and let me know if you are going to be in london at any point this summer :)
