Well, so I thought it would be a nice idea for y'all at home if I were to keep you posting of my adventures abroad.  Mostly to ensure my facebook-less family that I am still alive.  I leave tomorrow, my flight takes of at 7:40pm, giving me plenty of time to frantically beg my mum to help me pack.

Donald will be picking me up to take me to the airport, where I will likely run into my travel companion for the next fortnight, Matthew.  Matthew has his own blog, here:

http://meadv.blogspot.ca/

where he will no doubt give inaccurate recounts of the next while's events, making this blog necessary to give my side of the story.  What ever those stories may turn out to be. 
Unfortunately, we will not be on the same plane (though he will arrive in Heathrow, London 20 minutes after myself), because Mr. Snobbypants decided to fly business class.  Too bad for him, I won't be able to point out any caulderas we may pass over, or protect him if a batholith attacks the plane.


I will be attending the University of Leeds for the this Fall semester, while Matthew will be in Norwich at the University of East Anglia. 

Our itinerary before I move into my dormitory in Leeds is as follows:

Sept  3rd-5th  :   London
Sept  6th         :   Bath
Sept  7th         :   Cotswolds (whatever they are)
Sept  8th         :   Oxford
Sept  9th         :   Windsor
Sept  10th       :    Return to London
Sept  11th       :    Chester
Sept  12th       :    Move into Leeds

 

Panic meter is pretty high, right now, interspersed with waves of excitement.
