I had my oh crap I'm traveling across the ocean to a foreign country moment the other day. I have everything I need except for my bus ticket,which has turned out to be more problematic than necessary to attain. The website keeps giving me an error message, and the most annoying thing is that I know exactly what I have done wrong but I don't know how to fix it. I'm going to try again tomorrow and see what happens.

I've finally started the daunting task of packing and I am slightly put off by my choice of writing as a hobby. As I have realized from carting notebooks and books around my whole life, paper weighs quite a bit. I am taking at least ten notebooks with me to England because they are all stories that I will want to poke at in my free time. I am just fine with carting around the extra weight of my lovely notebooks, but the airline has a 50 pound weight limit for my suitcase. I'm hoping it won't be an issues, but I won't know until I stuff everything in my suitcase and weigh it.

In ten days I will be boarding a plane for the first time. This will be the biggest adventure of my life so far.
