Sorry...had to do the shout out!
Well the journey to London finally feels real. The countdown has begun! I am currently starting to pack up my apartment which is not proving to be easy. I have so much crap! The worst part about it all is that I've already brought some stuff home. I need to rid myself of so much junk. I think the things that I have an absurd collection of are my shoes, clothes, makeup/beauty products and hair products. I DON'T NEED IT ALL! Also, the amount of denim I own is out of control. I have at least 10 pairs of jeans. The funny thing is I don't even wear all of them and my favorite pair is a hand me down! I have a ton of hand-me-down jeans, adding to all the denim chaos. Packing all of this up scares me because A) I do not know where I'm going to put it all at my house and B) I don't know how I'm going to pack two suitcases with all of my essentials for a whole year. It's just not feasible! I did it for the 4 months I studied abroad, but a year? NO WAY! I also don't want to end up buying tons of stuff that I won't be able to bring home...but I will UGH!
I am mainly anxious about two things in the prospect of this year: the packing and the amount of money it costs to live over there. My student visa only allows me to work a maximum of 20 hours per week. This is not going to help me on the money front. I'm hoping to get a part time nannying position but of course I have to manage school and internships all at the same time. It is so daunting. I want so badly to travel while I'm there as well but I don't think money and/or time will allow that as much as I would like. I'm just going to have to make it work.
I am going to keep this post short because I need to keep chipping away at this whole packing thing. I cannot procrastinate. It's a dangerous thing!
Until next time, I will leave you with this cool panorama pic of my "PACKING ROOM." It's a mess...please do not judge! It also makes my room look huge...sadly that's an illusion.
***I was able to take this pic with a cool new FREE app on my iPhone called PHOTOSYNTH. Check it out!***
