packing the bags

Well I'm packing up my bags and looking at a journey beginning on July 4th... The first hurdle is getting all the clothes I need for work and play into a suitcase that I can still lift and carry! The next hurdle is crossing my fingers and hoping that my 30 min connection is enough to switch planes at Newark... Then I have to hope my bags arrive... and that I can navigate the London Underground out to Clapham South!!

after that, no worries!

I'm starting to get excited. It's going to be a real adventure, away from everything, striking out on my own and finding out who I am, in London. I know I'll miss home, but hopefully I'll be too distracted by work and play to be homesick.

I don't know what my internet situation is going to be like, so I won't be posting as frequently as other trips. But I'll save up stories and post them all at once, so perhaps that's better?

Well, until I'm there, toodles!

done

well, they're over. and hopefully so is one of the hardest sets of weeks I've been through.


the strange thing is, rather than being happy, I feel so drained and exhausted: it's almost a sense of failure or let-down.


I'm sure I'll feel better after some sleep.

about turn

ok, 3 down. none were fantastic, some were awful.

Now the 4th.. and I have to suddenly change pace completely, turn my brain around and revert to an old life: my 4th exam is a history exam.

yup, I've got 5.5 days to learn 1000 years of legal history. ugh. my work so far has been frustrating as there aren't cases to learn (well, not as many as normal) - it's back to the names, dates and places... and it's been 6 years since I used my history muscles..

anyway, I take solace in the fact that this time next week I'll be done. And in a month I'll be off to England.
