This is where it begins

I've decided to document my trip to the UK and Europe through this blog, so hopefully in the future I can look back and reminisce a little easier. I'm usually not a very good blogger as a result of my very lacking writing skills and the unfortunate trait of procrastinating incessantly. I hope I can keep up with this blog because I know it will definitely be worthwhile. I know pictures make everything more fun so I'll try to throw those in every once in awhile also. Adding in pictures is the hardest part for me, just a heads up!

Anyways, I have about 11 days before I embark on the craziest and most absurd journey I've yet to put myself on. Way back in high school, I remember seeing Facebook pictures of Chau's sister going to Sussex and I thought, "I could never do that. How could I leave home, my family and my friends for two months?! The entire summer!" Yeah, you bet I'm surprised looking at myself now! It's gotten so surreal and unbelievable. I am a jumble of nervousness, excitement and eagerness and I can't wait to meet new people and see more of everything. I'm ready to leave everything here and run away for a bit. I'm ready to walk into new territory.

Thinking back though, I would have never been able to make this decision to study abroad. Even worse, if I remained the person I was more than a year ago, I wouldn't have gone at all.

Well, there's plenty to prepare before I leave on July 2nd so I'll definitely chronicle the nuts and bolts as well as everything after :)
