I leave in one week and 2 hours. I still can't believe this is happening. What started out as a mere whim is becoming a reality. I still have to pinch myself every now and then to see if this is really my own life I'm living. I can't stop thinking about the bus ride. It's only a 2 hour drive from London to Llantwit Major, but I'm sure it will feel like the longest trip of my life. I can just imagine pulling up to Atlantic College. That's going to be the most amazing feeling in the world.Packing, packing, packing. I still have a lot to do. I'm going to bring one suitcase and 2 carry-on cases. That's what a few second years recommend, and that's what the bus company recommends, as well. My room is a cluttered mess right now because I've started the packing process and I'm figuring out which things I really need and which things I want.
I found out my roommates and dorm last week. I'm in Pentti Kouri house, formerly Dyfed. My roommates are Ferenc, from Hungary; Chris, from Hong Kong; and Imran from Nigeria.
Everything is finally concrete. The visa process was unnecessarily complicated, but I finally have one.
I'm nervous, but I know everything will be okay and this will be an amazing experience.
Happy trails! Can't wait to hear all about it.
ReplyDeleteAtlantic College looks so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI would be hard for me to separate the things I NEED to pack and the things I WANT.
I'm excited.
(p.s- For some reason, I am now watching you as myself and as my blog. Oh well. heh heh.)
I'm so amazingly proud of you Saul, I could explode. I'm happy for you my friend. Very, very happy indeed. I know you will be great. "Do. Or do not. There is no try."
