You know that little feeling of glee you get when you check everything off that list you've have for eons...that's what I'm reveling in right now. As stated, the academic stuff (well, at least the preamble) is finally over; government visas and banking- check...and finally, packing (well, at least the stuff I'm taking with me) is done - just need to wrap the boxes that I'll have shipped to me.
Tomorrow, I take off just before midnight which puts me in London at noon tomorrow - where I'll have two hours to make my way through customs and baggage and then I'll be met by the university to drop me off on campus - so I can FINALLY get an address.
And why the excitement over address? Once that happens, I can get clothes and shoes mailed to me, AND here's the REALLY exciting part....I can get bedding and hangers and pots and pans and cutlery and mugs and all those other exciting things that will keep me off sleeping on a bare mattress and living off a suitcase for the next 9 months or so.
For those of you interested- I've packed 'The Slap', 'Eat, Pray, Love' and a variety of magazines for on flight entertainment - I'm looking forward to plane movies...and lots of sleep (it's actually a perfect time to leave if you think about...
So one more night, and off I am...to be finally over the pond, and into the rain.
