let the countdown begin (20 days?)

Yesterday marked exactly three weeks until my departure. Three weeks! Yikes.
Here are the facts so far:
  • I depart February 1 from Chicago and am flying nonstop to London
  • I come back to the States on June 14
  • I will be stuyding at the University of Winchester, Winchester, England
  • I will have a room in their dorms to myself (from what I hear, all their dorm rooms are not only single person but 1.5 times bigger than ours here)
  • I have Easter Holiday March 15 - April 13 during which I will not being coming back to the US but instead traveling in Europe (Jenny is visiting!)
  • I will miss my cat (and friends, family, and Mexican food too)
  • I am super excited
Hopefully this blog will be a way for me to keep everyone updated over the next several months. I'll try to post often and even include some interesting pictures or video clips on occasion. Anyone is able to make comments on my posts (not just those with a gmail account).

Well, I believe that was sufficiently boring and informational. Here's a few pictures of Winchester to ponder until my next post (and let the countdown begin!).

That would be Winchester Cathedral (above). Looks beautiful.

How completely wonderful! I was just thinking about you the other day and wondering when your trip would start.
You better update frequently because your blog is now saved to my favorites and I'm quite pumped for it :)
Best of luck and lots of prayers!!

This must be sick because that is all good these days. Such a great experience! I am more concerned that Nathan throws up his Lucky Charms filled with Skittles; you will have a GREAT time!
