Leavin' On A Jet Plane

Well, I set out tomorrow. Everything is packed but this laptop. I’ve uploaded my London travel playlist to my iPod with such songs as, “Leavin’ on a Jet Plane,” “American Idiot,” “Way Away,” and, of course, all of my Beatles favorites.
 
Somehow I’ve planned out everything for this school semester but the school part. I know when I’m travelling and what extra-curriculars I’ll be taking part in. However, I don’t even know what books I’m going to need. I don’t know my full class schedule yet or how much I’ll need to study (except for an ambiguous “a lot,” because I’m in three English courses and one History…) 
 
I also really, really want to know where I’m rooming and who I’m rooming with, but I don’t find out until this Friday. We’ll see, I suppose.

 Am I nerve-wracked? Sure. But it’s also kind of a relief to finally be getting on the plane. I’ve been planning this out for nearly a year now, and since the day is finally here, I can get down to business at last.

 Even with my Kindle, I ended up packing way too many books.





For anyone interested, the official Harlaxton College blog, which I will also be a writer for, can be found here: http://blogs.harlaxton.ac.uk/news/
