As I'm sitting here watching Star Wars IV: A New Hope (and blogging, obviously), I'm starting to think more about the logistics of studying abroad. I'm thinking about when and what I need to start packing, getting compression socks, money, my going-away party, and a few more things. It's going to get more exciting as my departure date draws closer, and equally more unnerving that I'll be gone for an entire school year (if not longer - crossed fingers for that internship!) with no connections in some foreign land where I'm not yet fluent in the language. All my friends will be having a great time here while I'll be off in a distant land. It's the whole "out of sight, out of mind" thing, unfortunately.
BUT. If people do want to keep in contact with me, I'd absolutely love to send them postcards and such. It's fun and sort of old fashioned but it seems more heartfelt and besides, don't you just love getting stuff that isn't bills or junk in the mail?!?! I'll probably have a notebook set out at my party so if people are so inclined, they can write down their addresses.
On the topic of Star Wars: It's the shiz. Now I know people constantly say that IV, V, and VI are the best, but I really can't choose between them all. The newest 3 have better special effects and tell the back story but at the same time the older ones are the originals, and you can hardly ever beat originals.
Aside from all that good stuff, I just got done painting the downstairs bathroom light blue. It looks so much better than that gawdawful wallpaper that was in there before. If I had taken any photos, I would put them up but then I might just be doing you a disservice because that wall was so incredibly hideous.
I can't wait for my Denmark reunion with my buddy Victoria. She's coming down and staying with me a couple days. Woo!
One last thing: Don't forget to follow me before I go abroad. It's on my blog, directly below my photos on the sidebar. If you have a Google account, it should be easier, but either way it'll be worth it!
