I'll see you on the dark side of the moon...

Hmm, very appropriate lyric, seeing as I'll initiate radio silence until Tuesday starting tomorrow...

Well, the list of things left to be done before I leave is complete...no more buffer days in between my departure, no more things to stall my time. In describing how I feel to my friends, I've likened this moment to being on the lift hill of a roller coaster; you can't get off...the ride is imminent. You're filled with excitement and nervous uncertainty at the same time, but you know that once you finally get over that hill and start moving that it'll all be OK. I'm waiting to crest the hill...that should occur when I get off the plane Thursday morning.

I'm very excited to be going over there though, to start exploring and yes, to start classes too. The Shakespeare, film, and alternative theatre (change from Intro to London Theatre) classes are what I'm most excited for. I really enjoy math and science, which is why I'm an engineer, but the thespian/musician within me is equally strong. I think that if I wasn't geared toward engineering, that I would've been a Theatre major instead. So, this semester will give me a break and allow me to explore one of my other true loves.

I must cut this short for now, because there's a few final preparations, but I'll post again once I'm in London with first impressions. If you're interested, here's the contact info for my other study abroad related stuff:
