Today is officially my last day in America. Sam and I are leaving at 6:25 tomorrow. I booked a hotel and train tickets to Oxford in advance so all we have to do is get there. I talked to her earlier, and we're both really excited. I guess I could be scared or nervous, but I'm not. I'm thankful for this amazing opportunity. I am sad though. I'm going to miss my mommy and my dogs, especially Payton, very much. Maybe, a very slim chance, I might miss my friends too. Okay, okay, I'm obviously kidding. I'm going to miss them bunches too!
I packed my bags: 2 suitcases, a duffle, and a large Vera bag. It was a close call, but I managed to fit it all in! (Including my favorite 6 pair of shoes.) I really think I'm forgetting something... hmm, at least its not my passport!
In addition to packing, I met with Mrs. Carol Porter of the Courier-Herald today. (For those of you who don't know, the Courier-Herald is our local daily newspaper.) I'm going to be writing a daily column for the paper about my time in England. Its a great opportunity, and I am very excited!!! So bloggers, if you don't subscribe, you should do so immediately so you can read my articles!! The paper has a website at www.courier-herald.com if you want to check out the articles there!
Well I have to go through everything one last time, charge my ipod, and visit with the fam. I'm not sure what tomorrow's schedule is going to be like or if I'll get around to posting then. I want to wish everyone a happy and safe New Year! Here's to 2009 and making our dreams come true!!!
