Pre-Departure: 4 Days To Go

Well, Steph and I officially leave for England in 4 days, and I have sooo much left to do! I've spent the last couple weeks, month, who knows, running around all over the place. I spent the last few days in Hamilton (with the exception of Wednesday) just bumming around, mooching beds and couches off of friends. I've run into so many people who reminded me just how much I'm going to miss the steeltown. I had to come back to Toronto this morning for an appointment, but I'm seriously contemplating going back for another night. Since I left so early this morning, there wasn't much time for emotional goodbyes, but apparently some good friends of Steph and I are coming to send us off at the airport. Save the waterworks. I left Hamilton this morning realizing that I'd be gone for an entire year, and now I'm in withdrawal. Saying goodbye to Ash, Eric, Alex, Jess Rosheen, Katy and all these other people is a lot harder than I thought it would be because I miss them already!! These past few days have been soooo fun and reminded me of all the good times we've had, and of course the ones that lie ahead when I come back, or maybe tonight.

I've got so much more shopping to do, but like Erin said, you don't go grocery shopping before a vacation- I can't wait to check out the British fashion! I met a British guy from Leeds on exchange at Mac. So far I can kind of understand the accent, but he seemed pretty excited about how cheap things were here (and of course, there comes the expensive flip side for me).

So many people have asked me why I am going. Truthfully, I don't know myself, but finding out is going to be quite the adventure! - Stay Tuned!
