Leaving Tomorrow!!

I decided I'd start up a little blog to document my trip to the UK.

SIUE's orchestra is travelling abroad to play in London, Edinburgh, and Chester. We have 7 string players, a choir, and a brass quartet. It's really going to be a great time, but I have a lot to do to prepare still... and I leave on Tuesday!

Tonight, I drove from my parents' house out to Edwardsville to grab everything (hopefully!) I need to pack. It was really difficult to decide what to bring with me back to O'Fallon as far as clothes were concerned. So, I brought pretty much everything. That way, I can pick and choose tomorrow and I won't have to drive back to my apartment if I change my mind about my wardrobe.

It's almost 1 AM, but I'm so excited about getting ready tomorrow that it's pretty hard to fall asleep. I'm going to wake up at 8:30 so that I can start packing... then I've got to go to the bank to let them know that they don't have to block my credit card when purchases come up from the UK! I'm going to go to Target and get some cute, comfy flats to wear, and maybe a few more skirts.

My friend Kelly just got back from London and she says it's pretty warm over there; let's cross our fingers for nice weather!!
