Two week countdown, commence!

Okay, haven't been writing much since there's not terribly much to write. But now I'm starting to do stuff... yay!!!

So. First and possibly most importantly, I've discovered this:
http://thestudyabroadblog.com/

It is essentially wonderful. Not only does it have a packing list that I'm currently chugging through, it has... everything else a study abroad kid could POSSIBLY want!! I can't recommend it highly enough!

Second, I started packing. I looked up the weather history in London (using this site!) and basically... it is NEVER shorts weather. It's the North American equivalent of Quebec... FREEZIN'! I made an informal Excel spreadsheet for the number of days in each weather condition and planned my outfits accordingly. I also looked up the history of Rome and Paris, so I can pack for those travels!!

The second column is the number of days in the appropriate temperature range. I know it's crazy disorganized, but it works for me! :D

Sooo here are all the clothes I'm bringing!

Doesn't look like much, huh? I can't believe it, but other than some socks, jackets, and shoes, these are all of the clothes I am bringing!

Note: That's my carry-on bag! I have yet to buy a LEGIT huge suitcase. Probably necessary!

Also, I applied for a credit card and got rejected because I have no credit history at all! So we're working on getting me a credit card for emergencies.

Example of emergency: going to visit my friend in Rome, and not being allowed to stay in her room, and needing a hotel! Something my abroad friends and I definitely must think about!

I think the last thing I have to write about is that I also got an International Student Identity Card (ISIC). I  barely knew about them before, but just having one can get you discounts, a phone plan, and (a biggie for me!) health insurance! It looks like this!

Hot, right? Haha!

I'm sure there's more, but I'll write later!

Au Revior!
