Meeting and Greeting

I've just exchanged some communique with my London roommate.
She seems really, really nice and I'm quite excited to get to know her, among the other students, and UK nationals.

Today is my last day of honest work for a long while, and though unrealistic, I hope it will be last day of honest work forever. But we'll see about that.

I've cut down my travel itinerary from many nations to the few of: Scotland, Ireland, Germany, Italy and maybe France. Again, we'll see. Though I do need to make plans soon. XD

Finally, after coming home from watching Inglorious Basterds, again, I received a post card from my host family, a mother and her son. I'm terribly excited. X3


I depart in thirteen days.

Popping in an entry to cement this blog to the net.

While I'm at it though I may as well state things as they stand presently.

I will, within a matter of weeks, be traveling overseas to study in London for roughly three months, hence the name. After many odd, unrhythmic and obscene incarnations of namesakes, "Of Black Tea and Bangers" was decided.
Black tea for tea time and bangers for bangers and mash, iconic foods of lovely England.


Currently I still have to send in US Embassy paperwork, payments, buy socks, boots, travelers checks, get scholarships, finish monetary prize contests, overcome a tuckload of separation anxiety and figure out how to make change with British Pounds Sterling. However, London will be where I shall station myself for the next three months come hell or high water, with many an international escapade as well.

I'm currently test driving veganism and wondering how well that will all go over in Europe. I won't lie, I'll probably cheat a lot when it comes to authentic pastas in Italy or scones in Ireland, to name a few.

That should be the basics.
I depart in eighteen days.
