Hi Everyone –
I am leaving for London in only 5 days and I am both nervous and excited. I have heard all about great spots in London from other friends who have studied in the city, but before I can do that I still have to pack and prepare. So far it seems I have bought every piece of clothing possible that I could need in London, but I am sure I will buy even more while I am there – I’ll keep you updated on the shopping! Talking about packing I don’t even have a suitcase I can use yet – oops!
As part of this blog requirement, I wrote an email to future me which I will receive on Nov 1 (a little over halfway through the program). I was going to copy and paste my goals and expectations here, but of course present me was too eager to send it to future me and I won’t be able to see it until Nov 1. So here’s the shortened version:
I hope that…
- my flat isn’t too small
- I still love my roommates (4 of my sorority sisters)
- I don’t go crazy/drive my roommates crazy because I like to live in a very clean and sterile way
- that I make lots of new friends with other students and with locals
- I do well at my internship and in classes
- I travel and explore a lot!
- my internship is exciting and fun! I briefly interned on Capitol Hill in DC in high school, and I was very awkward and I couldn’t keep up with what was going on. Now that I am older, this one should be better.
- I am eating good food!
So that’s about it for now. In 2 weeks, the time of my next blog, I will be in London going to classes and working in Parliament. Check back in then!
