Well. I’m two days out from leaving for Oxford. It still has not quite hit me yet that I’ll be gone for six weeks. It just doesn’t seem real. I guess I’m the type of person who waits to get excited about something until it is the day of event.
But until then, I’ll be spending as much time as I can with those closest to me. Yesterday was spent in Athens for one last get together with all of my friends. We went to a lovely tapas bar and ended up hanging out afterwards as well. My boyfriend and best friend also took me out to the movies earlier that day–so it was a really fun time! The whole thing was a big surprise for me and I couldn’t be more grateful.
Tomorrow I will be spending time with my parents and boyfriend while checking out some Fourth of July events around town. I think we’ll wander around a local square that’s having live music and art booths. We’ll conclude the evening watching fireworks over the city. I’m really looking forward to it!
After all that my flight leaves Saturday evening and will take about nine hours. I land in London a little bit past 9AM. Luckily, I already packed for the trip and will be able to spend the afternoon with family before I head out around 3 o’clock.
I guarantee everything will sink in as soon as I’m on my way to the airport. I’ll actually believe that I am spending the summer studying at such a prestigious university.
