i'm getting on a plane to london in three days. london, england. in three days. what?! i guess you could say i'm a little bit freaking out. or a lot freaking out. are you surprised? you shouldn't be. i haven't started packing yet, of course. but only partially because i'm procrastinating; it's mostly because i don't have a suitcase yet. yikes. also, 96% of the clothes i plan on packing are currently waiting to be washed. maybe i should do laundry tomorrow?
anyway, the packing isn't what i'm freaking out about. well, a little bit. but mostly it's the fact that i'm boarding a plane in approximately 70 hours to take a 9 hour flight across the atlantic ocean to spend 5 weeks in a city where i don't know a single person. i've never flown by myself. ever. nor have i ever attempted to navigate myself though a city i've never been to before all by myself. nervous. "kate, you're going to be fine," you're thinking, "just relax and try not to worry about it. and hey, at least they speak english over there!" yes, i know this. thank you for reassuring me (or at least thinking reassuring thoughts). but i get irrationally nervous about every new experience i have, so just bear with me until i live through it and gain some perspective.
but aside from all that, there's also some positive freaking out. y'all. i am SO. STINKING. EXCITED. i'm about to spend five weeks in oxford. that is unreal. God is so good.
i'm going to do my best to keep this blog updated so you, my loving family and friends, can keep up with me while i'm gone. i've never had a blog before so i'm not really sure how to write one, but you should probably be prepared for a lot of ridiculous rambling... just like in real life. I LOVE YOU ALL and i can't wait to tell you all about my trip!!
