"for beasts that meet me run away for fear"

That is a quote by Billy S, that stood out to me, in AMSND when Helena was comparing herself to her lovelier sister, Hermia. She says "No, I am ugly as a bear/ for beasts that meet me run away for fear." Sometimes I feel that way! But who doesn't, when we just roll out of bed, or refuse to shower for an entire day. Sometimes that happens. Anyway, it is the night before I go to London and I certainly do quake with fear. I've totally forgotten that I actually need to take a CLASS, and I'm going to need to buy school supplies tomorrow at CVS when I pick up my pictures. I also have to remember to go to Barnes and Noble and buy a cheap copy of Emma. Need some good Jane Austen to let me fall asleep on the plane. I'm nervous, but today I got an email telling me what the deal is with pickup and stuff, and I found out that there is a girl and a guy in my program from Jersey who are actually on my flight, which is pretty cool. I didn't think anyone would be on the flight with me.
I'm hoping this blog will serve as a sort of motivation to start me writing again. Perhaps the things I encounter there will make me want to write, and this i think is a good way of letting my friends and family know about my progress! I'm gonna give the link out to everyone, so whoever wants to save it, please do, I will update everyday at least once a day, in hopes that documenting my trip will make the memories last longer!

2 days and counting

I can't even believe in less than two days I will be on a plane to London. This is unbelievable and Jane Austen and Willy would be proud. I can't believe it. I hope I make friends, I hope I don't gain weight, I hope I remember to bring sheets, I hope I bring enough underwear. Oh man. This is tough. Hopefully I will be alright. Ah. Wow. I'm scared. Someone calm my nervesss...
