And so it begins.....

While at Charlie's apartment yesterday we were watching Persuasion and I told her I wanted to go to Bath. She then decided I should blog in Bath....thus she then proceeded to make a blog for me and came up with the clever name, as I will be spending my next semester in Hull. Plus Charlie, you may be the only person reading this for a while so it's all for you, because I love you.... squirrel! And here is a picture of you so I everyone can see my inspiration.

After thinking about it, I have decided that if I'm every going to blog in my life, it should be while I'm having a grand old time in Europe. I officially leave in six days, spend four days in Chicago then continue to ENGLAND where I will stay until the middle of June. I'm going over to be part of a student exchange at the University of Hull and know very little about Hull. I do know that it doesn't seem to be the prettiest part of the country, people don't have straight teeth in England, their accent is hard to understand and everyone hangs out in pubs all the time. I am excited though and I know that it will be a good experience. I'll be taking three classes over there including archaeology, a science class and (drum roll) a performing ensemble! Yay! When I get there I'll be auditioning to be part of a group and I'm sure I'm really going to love that. I bet they have a completely different repertoire over there and maybe they even conduct differently. When I'm REALLY excited for is breves and semi-quaivers though.

With six days left I'm just trying to get everything together. Thankfully, Heidi is letting me take her computer over there with me and that will be wonderful. I also am prepared with my umbrella and power converters. I may want to start packing soon but that's another story.
