Getting Ready

                 After meeting all of the lovely people that will be joining me on this British Study abroad trip, I am feeling more and more excited about the preparation that will need to take place for this adventure. Prior to the trip I have had to consider the costs, packing, and the overall experience. The costs, although pricey, were thankfully not an inconvenience. I have money of my own saved and  my parents and grandparents will be helping as well. I will bare most of the costs, however. The thought of packing has become less stressful. Knowing that we should only pack the bare essentials comforts me in that the list is shorter to remember. I would rather not test my forgetfulness; the short list will help me in that request. I hope to go to Ireland or Italy for my free weekend; however, anyplace in Europe will be outstanding, I'm sure. I'm very excited for this adventure and what it has in store.
