Officially 8 days and 10 hours until i leave for edinburgh. Now that my days at the PDZA gift shop are over (i thought this day would never come!), one would think that i would have plenty of time to shop, pack, and say goodbyes...but no. i still have a family vacation, a trip to the gorge, and a family BBQ to attend in this rather short amount of time. My free time at this point adds up to about a day and a half or so. Not that im complaining about these activities though, i am glad i get to spend a few days relaxing with my family at Sun Mountain, galavanting around the Dave Matthews Band concert with all my best friends from high school, or eating an ungodly amount of food with my relatives at the beach. I still have a lot to do before my adventure can begin; obviously lots of shopping to do. Packing for the UK will be slightly different than packing for school in Southern California; im going to have to talk myself out of most of my sandals and tank tops :( And also, my worst fears have been realized, ive been told that people in Edinburgh, generally, do not wear hooded sweatshirts outside of there homes and wear sweat pants even less. I guess that the girls dress to the nines to go out as well; heels, tight skirts, and big hair (not really how we roll in redlands). So, obviously, a whole new wardrobe is absolutely necessary.
As soon as Kali leaves, in 2 days for Barcelona, i will be the last of my friends to leave for abroad. E has been in South Africa since mid-July, Lauren left for Tanzania on the 26th and Rachel left for Milan today. Its going to be a rough week listening to everyones stories while im sitting at home, but im really excited to hear about all of the different adventures, none of these countries are ready for whats about to hit them. These girls can terrorize an entire university even when we decide to err on the side of moderation, i cant imagine what will go down when they can get into bars and clubs legally.
Well, i should probably start packing for Sun Mountain.
cool first blog right?
