2 Weeks Before Departure!

Hello all and welcome to my brand new blog! I don't know how often I will update this once I reach Europe, but I hope to do it at least once a week.

Let's start off with where I currently am. As I type, I am sitting on my bed in my Mother's house in Phoenix, Arizona. Today is exactly t-minus 2 weeks until departure from the states and onto a bigger and broader future. Where I am going you may ask? Well that is a simple answer that will be revealed shortly, but first let me talk about where I will be for the next 2 weeks.

I start my plans tomorrow when I will begin my first ever scrap-book making project. I am compiling my whole college career into this scrap-book. I am also describing myself and my current ideals. This may seem crazy for a normal scrap-book which is technically supposed to hold memories, but this scrap-book is special. It will be turned into a time capsule on completion. When finished I will tie it up, and put a date on it for 20 years in the future and tuck it away safely, not to be opened until 2027, at which point I will be turning 40 and probably hit a mid life crisis.

I will work on the scrap-book for the whole week, at which point on September 5th I will be flying back to Los Angeles where I will spend the remainder of my time in the states with my father. During this last week in the states I will most likely be awkwardly bored with absolutely nothing to do, as is usually the case at my dad's house.

Then finally on September 11th I fly out of LAX and finally reach Europe, finally reunited. Now here is the main reason for this blog. I will be blogging about my time while studying abroad at Leeds University in England. I will be staying there for a whole year and hope that the trip turns out to be well worth the wait.

More information is soon to come, but unfortunately this is all for today. Stay tuned for an update as to what is happening at my mom's house, how my scrap-book is going, and more details about who I am and what I hope to do while in Europe!

With love and *kisses*,
