19 days till I head across the Pond!

I leave for London in 19 days, on September 17th 2013! I'm excited, nervous and stressed too. I still have a lot to get done before I leave .

This blog will be a chance to share my experience with everyone and post when I have the time and all you do is click and read!

I will be living at an off campus dorm-like building called NIDO King's Cross, which is located a 5 minute walk from King's Cross Train Station.

I arrive on the 18th and which gives me a few days to settle in, deal with jetlag and explore some of the city before I start orientation on the 23rd. I don't start my classes until the 30th, I hope I got the ones I wanted but luckily no matter what I get I'm on track to graduate.

I've already made a list of places I want to travel both in England and in Europe, here's my list so far:

  •  Barcelona, Spain (hoping to meet up with a sorority sister there who is studying in Seville Spain for the year)
  • Amsterdam, The Netherlands
  • Paris, France
  • Munich, Germany
  • Venice, Italy
  • Dublin, Ireland 
  • Bath, England,
  • Stratford Upon Avon, England
  • Stongehenge
If anyone has any suggestions of places within England to go, let me know! 

Before I leave I still need to get some warm clothes, because I think the California girl in me is going to struggle with the rainy foggy weather at first. 

But otherwise that's all for now! Look for my first post after I arrive in London.
