LDN = 3 Weeks

In three weeks from today, I will be starting classes in London, England. I absolutely cannot wait. As finals week is coming to an end I find myself getting more and more anxious. There are so many loose ends to tie up at this point in the semester and so much still to do in preparation for London.

This summer is definitely one for travel. So far the master plan is to finish up school this Friday, then move back home. On the 7th I'll be taking my first trip to Texas to see my married friends for a week, which is very exciting. After my return back to OH I'll be scrambling to pack and get ready for Europe. My itinerary is to arrive in London on May 20th and spend 4 weeks there until June 21st. After the program is over, my fellow study abroad flatmate, photo major and future roommate, Amanda Baker will be traveling with me to a few other European countries. From June 21-28th we will see France, Switzerland and lastly, Ireland. We'll be back in the States just in time for my 21st birthday on June 29th!

Once I get back I hope to work at least a little while I'm at home. The end of summer might have another trip or two in store for me. Besides the occasional trip to my alma mater in Lancaster, I hope to visit another photo friend of mine who is residing in Boston for the summer. I'm not sure how that will work out, but it's an idea. A family vacation with my sister, dad and step-mom is also in the works. We'll likely go hiking in the Smokey Mountains in North Carolina for a few days.

As for now, I need to focus on finishing up with finals and saying goodbye to UD!
