Last Night in America

Even though the snow is pretty and i thoroughly enjoyed my day of doing nothing (since this break has been non-stop), i was originally supposed to be landing in London in about an hour or so.  Of course there would be a snow storm on the day I'm scheduled to leave for abroad.  However after months of planning, weeks of shopping, and a few agonistic (is that a word?) nights of packing I'm leaving tomorrow for four months in Europe.  I've created this blog so that all of my family and friends can stay updated on where I am and what I am doing each day overseas.

This is a copy of my program itinerary so you guys will have an idea of what's going on.  Everyone has been asking what the best ways to contact me are: subscribe/follow/and comment on this blog! For those of you who are computer-savvy you can find me on Skype or email me at my Towson email address.  Please don't call or text me or leave a voicemail!  I promise this will cost the both of us A LOT of money!

Family: Thank you for sending me on this amazing journey.  I promise to come back a more worldly person because of it.  Words can't begin to describe how much I love you and will miss you (especially Grandma and Grandpa ugh love you)

Towson: Have an amazing semester even though you will be without a 2103 to party in.  Get ready for the fall because i will be 21 and NOTHING is holding me back!

Brittany Sloane: Chin up baby girl the four of us will be reunited again soon.  Don't be too psycho and know that no one loves you as much as we do so don't be surprised if no one wants to put up with your shit.  I cannot wait for you to come and visit and go wild in Amsterdam!

Everyone have a great year and please keep in touch!  Look forward to seeing everyone when i come back and all of the fam for our annual Mother's Day/Samantha's Day and my 21st BIRTHDAYYY!!!

As for the four months that lie ahead of me, well. . .
