Because evidently I don't post enough.

I am leaving for England in exactly one week.

I will be living in London for the next three months and I am completely scared. At this point it's like what the heck am I thinking moving to a country where I don't know anyone except my History Professor?

Also, Collectormania? This is me begging here. I am going. I am going to book a Hotel room. I have no one to room with. Anyone, please, if you need a roommate for this let me know, I am desperate.

Man, I am going to miss you guys. Also, a Public Service Announcement. Starting next week I will probably be posting about my RL and how my trip is going. I am still not sure how much internet I'll have so I don't know how much fandom stuff I'll be able to keep up on. This means that my journal might not be terribly fandom-oriented although you never know....

Also, because this interests me, a poll:

[Poll #173560]

Hey, just randomly passed over your journal.

I'm 17, and I moved a whole continent for schooling purposes, and when I was leaving I had plenty of self-doubt and ph34r. But now that I'm four months into it, I've realised that it's the best decision I could possibly have made, and I've learnt so much from the new culture and my new friends.

You will make new friends, and you will enjoy your life there, particularly in London. How wonderfully British! Mree hee.

I wish you oodles of good luck!

I love random comments!

Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know about your experience. It's really really reassuring to hear from other people who have done this. I'm feeling a bit less nervous now, although I haven't packed anything yet, which is my next project. Thanks!

I wrote a tutorial on that once, for charity.

Ah, charity. And me, just a po' student.

Anyway: http://www.livejournal.com/community/notrecoterie/3314.html

Take a look if you have the time. I've written it from my own experience, so that might help. Might. heh.

Aha! So that is why I recognize your name. I read that post during the blogathon, and I even added it to my memories. I found it to be very useful, for instance the whole gift for the host family thing? I never would have thought of that. Heh, also, my lazy ass read the part about doing dishes and being helpful and went "bleh, yuk, I am not helpful, will they really expect me to be helpful?" However I will try to work on that because I think you are right.
