It's almost midnight Sunday night, which means that I have something in the vicinity of thirteen hours before I have to leave for JFK. And I'M SO FREAKING EXCITED. I've flown before - I've been to California, Colorado, Florida, and Ohio. But I've never FLOWN OVER AN OCEAN or INTO A DIFFERENT COUNTRY. I'm packed (mostly). I just have to finish cleaning my room, throw some more things into my checked bag to make it weigh exactly 44.09 pounds (alternatively 20 kilos, but my scale doesn't have any clue what a kilo is), and finish packing my carry-ons. Then I'm all ready for trans-Atlantic travel.
Also on tomorrow's to-do list: Open an account with Bank of America, because they, unlike Chase bank, have a sister bank in the UK and thus no ATM charges; stop at the Greenwich Chase bank to trade in some American dollars for British pounds; go to the Apple store to exchange my headphones; print boarding passes; call Mount Holyoke's payroll office about my missing pay check; do a last load of laundry, and GO TO EDINBURGH. Pretty much in that order.
I'd say I should go to sleep, but I'm way too excited for that. So I'm going to go watch TV and put off everything on that to-do list until the sun comes up.
