And So it Begins...

Alrighty so this is the first post of what will hopefully be many. I'm currently at work (on a break of course..) and working out this whole blogging thing. Basically the idea behind creating this is completely selfish. Ok not completely. By updating this while I'm in Cambridge this fall, it'll give me an easy way to keep anyone who's interested updated about what's going on with me across the pond. Plus I can add pictures and video and cool stuff to make it so I'm less far away. God Bless the internet. Wow I sound like I'm advertising Blogger. 

If you want to subscribe so that every time I post a new blog, you're notified, you can do that pretty easily I think. If it's not easy, just shoot me an email or something and I can put you on my list of emails to send my new blogs to and Blogger does it automatically. Again, stop advertising. Gosh.

Getting back to business, though. This summer's going WAY too fast. I got out of school May 10 and looking at my calendar I can't figure out what happened to all of June. Working definitely takes a lot of time since it's an actual 9-5 now, so that's probably a big factor, but DANG. I'm getting a little worried because this whole Cambridge thing is actually happening... EEK. I'm glad it is, and I do not have second thoughts, but ya know, I'm nervous. My boyfriend, Chris, is starting his first year of school at the end of August and I'm going away and it's just a lot of change all at once. It'll be alright but it's just swallowing it all and getting used to the idea that's hard.

In terms of preparation, we've been finishing paperwork for LVC (Lebanon Valley College) and ARU (Anglia Ruskin University) and just smoothing out details lately, but soon it'll be time to organize the cell phone thing, figure out my banking options, and start packing. Scary. 

I'm tempted to start a countdown til when I leave for dramatic effect, but that's kind of daunting and a little depressing/exciting/i don't even know what, so instead I'll just give you the date to do the counting down yourself: September 9, 2008.
