My last full day on this side of the pond.

Tomorrow I leave.

I've been trying for weeks to get that cemented in my brain and as I told my dad last night once I'm on the plane there's no turning back really. (Although he said I could just get a ticket to return the minute I got over there... but that's not the point).

And don't get me wrong, I am really excited though a bit nervous, but I am sure I will be fine once I get settled.

This is my first trip outside of the USA that does not involve Canada.
This is my first International Flight.
The fact that I'm not really going with anyone I would label as a friend presently.
(Though I plan on making lots of friends)

I guess all these factors are why I'm a bit nervous.


Well anyway enough nervous/excitement for now, I still have 1 1/2 days lefts. As I mentioned earlier I fly out tomorrow; at 6:25pm to be specific. Which if you know time differences and can do math that puts our plane getting into Heathrow Airport in London at 6:35am. :P

I have 2 giant suitcases, a backpack, and a purse. (This should be interesting...) But enough about England, I'm not there yet, NYC is where I am...

Yesterday was nice, though the wind made it a little less pleasant, I walked to Union Square with Mom and looked in Forever 21 (which I could not find a single thing worth trying on or buying) and Filene's Basement (where I did purchase a nice white button-up top that possesses a deep ruffled V, cute almost bell sleeves with arm bands that go to mid-bicep, and ties to make a bow in the back). Then we got sandwiches for lunch at Whole Foods, which happened to be there too, and after getting a little confused on directions walked to 19th and Broadway where a Loews' Theater is situated and we saw Julie & Julia. It was a really cute movie, funny and romantic. I would definitely reccommend it. :)


Now onto today... No plans thus far, having dinner tonight with Liz and Adi somewhere probably in midtown. It's raining and pretty grey here at 9:45am, but it is New York so I'm not entirely surprised. It is rather cool as well, but that is probably due to the overcast and the rain (a miserable 57 degrees).

Things to do:
*Finish reading my book (if you like interesting history: A Dark History: The Kings & Queens of Europe; From Medieval Tyrants to Mad Monarchs) It's a relatively easy read and it doesn't talk about the usual people you hear about like Edward I or Bloody Mary, it is an account of Continental Europe only which I find to be quite interesting thus far. Right now I'm on the story of: The King and The Vamp: King Ludwig I of Bavaria(which was part of Germany for us who are geographically impaired) and Lola Montez.
*Hem Liz's black pants
*Repack a few things.
*Relax, Draw, etc...
