So the journey begins. I am waiting in Logan Airport, who I am very thankful for because they now offer free internet (yayy), for my flight to start to bored in 2 hours. Why here so early? My mother thought there was going to be traffic INTO Boston during evening rush hour...sorry mom, you were wrong. Anyways, I am very excited to be leaving and making my way "across the pond" to wine and dine with all the fine English people. I was hoping to have a concrete list of things and places I wanted to do and see, but I feel like there is so much that making a list now would just be setting myself up for failure. I do have a few personal goals however.
1. Don't get pick pocketed.
2. Don't spend more money than I have to my name
3. To write in this blog often (once a week is optimistic)
4. For at least one person other than my mom and dad to read this blog
5. To not get too homesick
6. See the queen
I figured thats a good list of things for now. Don't want to get too ahead of myself.
Right now I'm worried about being tired when I get to London. Hopefully my adrenalin will kick in since ill be waking up and getting ready for a day of orientation at 1 am Boston time. Ew. I am suppose to head to my apartment where I will be met by someone from my program and they will start our day and hopefully leave me to shower, since I hate airplane smell.
My only real news so far is the the freugalness has started and despite having one $309 on some birthday scratch tickets (given to me by Miss Erica Willis) I did not upgrade to premium economy, which offer much larger leather seats that recline "a lot" (according to the guy at the counter), for $350. I almost did as a birthday presant for myself, but I figured that the money will be going somewhere better eventually...hopefully. Maybe on the way back ill have some extra cash left that I can blow away on some first class tickets ;)
p.s. For all of you who are heading over to study abroad...the exchange rate in the airport blows, so dont plan on changing your money here like I was.

Hi. It sounds exiting! We're expecting snow here. Mark (the fish) has a developed a twitch. Sort of a head jerk to the right every few seconds. Don't worry, he's happy because Dad put your picture in front of his bowl. I'm glad the girls from the flat all stick together when going out. Don't ever separate to go off with handsome bald men, even if they buy you 1/2 a pint. Dad, Donald and I are missing you. Love you!
