Well, something has been taken care of at least...

Preparation to leave for Merry Olde England has commenced. I think while I am home, I may sort through my cool weather clothing as well. Oh the number of sweaters I have...

1. Plane tickets. From US to England and vice versa. This is done, as of today. Thank you Tyler!
2. Contact Health Insurance company to ensure that I will be covered while I am abroad.
3. Physical Examination and vaccinations
4. Eye exam and new glasses
5. Dental exam
6. Power of Attorney
7. Overseas financial arrangements (Hello Visa Travel Money...)
8. 1,000 more forms to fill out at Eastern
9. New Laptop since this one is hanging on by a thread...
10. Plug and voltage adapters
11. Make cell phone arrangements with Verizon
12. Make enough money this summer so that it will be unnecessary to work while abroad.
13. 1,000 new forms from SSO

So much to do before September 2nd rolls around! alas alas...

Places to Go, People to see: Planes trains and automobiles

There are only about 900 things that I have to do before I abandon my native soil for that of Merry Olde England. I thankfully have a passport but I cannot say the same for much else. There are so many plans to be made, things you wouldn't necessarily think about. Let's make a list, shall we?

1. Plane tickets. From US to England and vice versa.
2. Contact Health Insurance company to ensure that I will be covered while I am abroad.
3. Physical Examination and vaccinations
4. Eye exam and new glasses
5. Dental exam
6. Power of Attorney
7. Overseas financial arrangements (Hello Visa Travel Money...)
8. 1,000 more forms to fill out at Eastern
9. New Laptop since this one is hanging on by a thread...
10. Plug and voltage adapters
11. Make cell phone arrangements with Verizon
12. Make enough money this summer so that it will be unnecessary to work while abroad.

Annnndddd.... So much more that I can't think of right this second. Wish me luck?

A wing and a prayer

So here I am, 20 years old, planning to travel far for the first time. Oxford, here I come! September rushes closer and there is much to plan. Follow me here as I attempt to figure it all out.
