I'm not what you would call a creative type

Hello,

First off left me apologize for my blog title. I'm not what you would call a creative type. You may now be wondering,"why are you writing a blog if you are not creative?" The answer is and will always be, because I'm lazy. There will never be time to write personalized letters to each of my friends and family back home telling them about what it is like for me to watch t.v. in a different country instead of on my futon. So if you get an email or letter you should feel special and write back! I hope I meet my reader's standards of what a travel blog should be with my witty and cynical observations on life that you can chortle along with. I am not writing this to pass on my traveling wisdom or promote any political statements. I just tend to have awkwardly funny encounters that I know my friends will appreciate. Hopefully that will not include painfully detailed recollections of food that I have eaten along with photos of said food.  But I make no promises.

Right now I am in the midst of packing/putting off packing. It doesn't feel as if I am really going to go to England for 9 months. It feels like I am just telling everyone that I am leaving while instead I am really living in my parents' basement. Yeah, all those photos you are going to see... they are fake. I totally photoshopped myself in them while in my new basement home. All of this is leading up to why I do not feel like packing my bags. I don't think I can fit my pillow pet into my bags, which just makes me sad. Goodbye Montague the giraffe. 

Phillip, my friend and classmate, is currently getting our seats. He has assured me that if we dress nicely that we will have a greater chance of  being bumped up a class as he is still grumpy that we are in economy seating. Oh, he also reminded me that dress clothes are just more comfortable anyway. I must have forgotten that fun fact the last time I wore heels. I hope that a nice sweater, jeans, and chacos count, because that is as dressy as I am willing to get for our 8 hour plane ride (I don't really know how long it is but that is my best guess).

Monday has never seemed so far away!
