SNOW DAY! 44 Days

Hello Internet!

This begins my time blogging for when I study abroad in London this coming spring semester.  I will be traveling through the Central College Abroad, and I will be staying in the the Vandon House in Downtown London.  Curious as to just how awesomely located I will be?  Well here's a hint... I will be able to see Buckingham Palace from my window. (BALLER!)

Like the title says, I have 44 days until classes start, and last night we had the blizzard of the decade leaving me snowed in at home.  Just enough time to start a blog, and get some stuff organized (Yes Mom! I'll attempt at my room).

Yesterday, I finished up my visa process by getting my biometrics done downtown.  Basically they took a non-smiling picture of my face and gathered some finger prints.  I'm sure my picture was just wonderful.  I was smiling really big and the lady turns to me and says, "how about a closed mouth smile?"  Great that's what I need, a mug shot.  But let me tell you, the Visa process sucks!  I decided to use the expediting service found at Itseasy.com and I'm glad I did.  They will help me if anything goes wrong.  I sent my stuff off yesterday, but I hope it's not delayed in it's delivery with this weather.

Anyway, let me tell you what I want to do with this blog.  I want to update it at least once a week while I am over there.  I will post pictures and tell stories about my experience.  I'm hoping that it's everything that I built it up to be.  All that's left to be done is to wait for my visa to come back.  Wish me luck!

Pip Pip Cheerio!
