I'm starting to feel like I'm about to get a cold. I'm really, really hoping it's just allergies. Cuz guess what would not be fun? Being sick on a 7 hour plane ride. Anywho, my friend Julia is already in the UK, she's updated her blog and posted pictures and everything (of London). I'm jealous of her pictures, but then I think, hey wait I'm going there super soon. It's so surreal I'm going to be there in less than a week.
I just printed out my itinerary for my flights. Since there are 3 of them. I also need to put some phone numbers in my phone in case I miss a flight. Which would be terrible. And scary. I finally started packing only to realize my bag might be too big for my Continental flight (the one from O'Hare to Newark) and if it is too big, I have to pay $100. So that's my biggest worry right now. Oh, and I found out which part of Pollock Halls of Residence I'll be staying in, I'll be in Lee House. With a single room. I think. The email was sort of unclear. I guess I'll see when I get there. I'm really excited to have a new room to decorate.
I'm really excited about being in a place where I know no one. It's the same feeling I had when I went off to college. That whole "no one knows me here" thing. I can't wait to meet new people. I need more friends anyway. When we land, we're being met by representatives of IFSA-Butler and then taken to the hotel we're staying in for a couple of days for orientation (study aboard orientation, not University of Edinburgh orientation) and then we go out to dinner. I have a feeling it'll be sensory overload. Also I don't sleep well on planes so I'll be pretty tired. And possibly acting sorta weird.
So next time I'll be writing in this I'll be in Edinburgh, be excited!! I sure am =]
