One week from now it will be less than 24 hours before I leave. My mom leaves Saturday for AZ and so I'll say goodbye to her at the airport that morning. I can't believe how fast this came up. It feels like yesterday it was June.

So this, the week before leaving, seems like the time when I realize everything that should've been done already hasn't. I don't have a visa for the UK, nor can I get one in this time. I'm not sure what will happen if I study in France or the Netherlands next semester, if I need to be on Amercican soil to get a visa to go abroad. I only just figured out (hopefully) the whole "how to get my money from the US to the UK" thing. I signed my housing contract today, which still isnt finalized but I had to put in the deposit to hold it. Its 60 GBP per week... the money stuff is kind of overwhelming. I'm waiting on my last big final check from work and hopefully it will all work out. I know my parents will bail me out if I'm in a tight spot, but I'll still have to pay them back. And what will I do next semster?  I'm gonna have to really keep on top of my budgeting. Eep.

Other than the rush to get ready.. it doesnt quite feel real. I feel like life could go on like this another month or so before I noticed anything change. It made me wonder, what if I had just dropped out of school with vague plans of traveling to figure out what I want to do. Would I have just hung around here until OBMC closed up? I'm glad I've got deadlines and "Start of Terms" to keep me moving, stressful as it is.

But here I go. Look out Wales.
