For the past few days since my last post, I've made a couple discoveries, the most important being that Hulu has all the seasons of Arrested Development (Alanna, I finally finished the series). After watching all three seasons and finishing traffic school for my mother, I feel extremely accomplished.
Three more days until the big departure date, and I still have not packed. I've been intending to pack for the past two weeks, but I realized that my clothes would get wrinkly and you actually don't need that much time to pack. Most of my banking woes have been resolved. I opened a Bank of America account, which will allow me to withdraw cash for free at banks overseas in their ATM alliance. I keep feeling as though I'm forgetting to do something before I leave, even though I know there isn't. I'm sure I'll feel this way up until the day that I arrive, which is a little annoying because I keep waking up in the middle of the night to write down stuff on my to-do list.
I will miss a lot of things about the States while I'm away. I was reminded of exactly what I'm leaving behind for a year today, when I had what will probably be my final bite of In-N-Out before my flight out. Oh, and I'm sure I'll miss my friends and family too. It really is bittersweet this time around because I'll be so far away for the longest time I've been away from home. At the same time, I can't wait to get on that plane and discover what adventures lie ahead. Hopefully those future adventures will be at least somewhat entertaining so as to make your reading experience more enjoyable.
Toodles 'till later!

Yay!! To many things...the fact that you are (I think) in London right now!! But mostly the fact that you finished watching Arrested Development. Because that show is utterly brilliant.
