I now have seven days until I depart for London and although my list of things to do has not shrunk much, I no longer feel nearly as nervous as I did last week.
I'm just ready to go. I enjoy being at home and not having to go to class, but I'm a little bored.
Andrew and Annie, my friends in Dublin, have already been in Europe for a week. I talked to each of them today and they are already making travel plans. They want to meet Matt and I in Paris in a few weeks. Although we won't know for sure if we can go until next week, we're definitely excited about the prospect of being able to say, "Oh yes, we're just heading off to Paris this weekend to meet our friends from Dublin." Cue both of us tossing scarves around our necks and blowing kisses to random strangers. Andrew and Annie also have plans to visit us in London in November. This alone is exciting. BUT, that weekend just happens to be the same weekend that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part One comes out. Random coincidence? Absolutely not. We've been planning this one for months. We are all huge Potter fans, so this may be the greatest thing that will ever happen to us. I wish I was exaggerating.
Lots to do, folks. Things to buy. Suitcases to pack. Money to change. Goodbyes to be said. Tex-Mex to be eaten. It's going to be a crazy week.
I may cry when I have to choose which shoes to leave behind.
