Nervous.

Well, tomorrow's the big day. I'll be leaving Tuscaloosa at around 11:45 with Jake and Ben taking me to the airport. My plane leaves at 4:45 for Philadelphia where I will have a 2 hour layover and after that I'll be in route for London.  I am really nervous now, actually.  I have a tendency to become very homesick and am afraid I'm gonna hate it.  I know I'll end up having a good time, but I'm anxious nonetheless. The universe is apparently on my side, though because of the fortune I got today at the chinese restaurant.  Well I suppose I'll wrap up... Please pray safe travels (for myself and those who will be traveling with me), for my nerves/anxiety to go away, and for homesickness not to hit me too hard.

XOXO

My fortune from earlier today held by my roommate, Jethro (Ben).

Numero Uno

Well, since I couldn't figure out how to connect the blog provided by my company to facebook I decided to create this one.  This will be an account of my journey throughout Europe and my reflections once I return.  I am really going to try to keep this up considering I won't be able to talk to anyone very often; however no promises will be made(: 

this is how I feel when I think about how close I am to leaving

My trip begins in less than one week!!! 5 days to be exact! I am nervous, excited, apprehensive, and a lot of other emotions right now.  8 weeks is a long time to be away. I know I'm going to have fun though, and may learn something too.  Well, this is numero uno of many to come! Hope you'll accompany me on this journey and have fun living vicariously.. haha!
