The time is almost here for me to get on that big old jet airliner to London. My suitcases are packed, my dollars are now pounds (by the way, the exchange rate absolutely sucks), and I'm ready to go. I've been excited to go for some time now, but I didn't fully realize that I am moving to London until a few days ago. Now it's all I can think about. Even holding down a conversation is difficult because my mind always wanders back to London!
Despite my excitement, tonight is bittersweet. In just a few days I will enter into an entirely new world both in terms of my physical location and the opportunities presented to me. I'm going to study at a fantastic university and work in one of the most powerful governments in the whole world. I'm going to live with people whom I've never met before (well, mostly) and we're all going to experience London together. On the other hand, I'm not going to see many of my friends or my family for a long time. I'm going to miss the great guys and girls at Gonzaga that are an essential part of my friend group. Not to mention all of the ICS friends that I would have seen during breaks. I hope everyone has a great year and I can't wait to see all of you when I get back.
Now I'm going to sign off. The next time I post on ATPSMP, I'll be in downtown London! Peace out everyone!
Henry
