Failure to Pack

Hello! For those of you that don't know, I am heading to Edinburgh, Scotland to study abroad for the semester at the University of Edinburgh. I am beyond thrilled to be given this experience and get to explore Scotland, the United Kingdom, and hopefully more of Europe throughout the next 4 months.

I'm sorry, did I say I was going to the University of Edinburgh?? I meant to say I will be attending Hogwarts this fall.

I hope to keep you all informed of the adventures that will take place and (hopefully) all the royalty sightings that I see in the next 4 months. My goal for this blog is to actually type words and prevent it from becoming a collage of photographs, however, I am an engineer for a reason!

My flight takes off from JFK airport in approximately 6 hours and I have yet to finish my packing. Trying to fit my wardrobe into two suitcases is nearly impossible, but I am determined to do so. How do you choose which shirts to leave behind?? Of course, I couldn't have picked a warm place to study in so all I'd have to bring is shorts, t-shirts, and some bathing suits.

Well, it is now T- 5 hours and 58 minutes to take off. I will talk to you from the other side of the pond!
