Day of Genesis.

Anxeity persued by excitement.
accents in the terminal.
liftoff. soaring to the future,
hours ahead of reality, into a dream.
into the black nothingness.
Stars, moon, ocean glow.
the memory of your hands.
Ingrid.
Lights out.
day break.
Keliedescope, heart.
Red, orange, green, blue.
clouds.
the rumble, the noise, the stillness.


London isn't real. The homes, the brick, the cobblestone,
the history mashed with postmodernism.
the order, the chaos, the royalty.
Today has been filled with getting lost, getting found,
Tapas, Indian cuisine, and beer.

Mischief to insue tomorrow.

T-Minus 6 hours til departure...

First of all, epic fail on the phone situation. I thought I could wait til the last minute to jailbreak which would have been possible if I wasn't so on top of updating my phone. The hack no longer works with the version of iOS that im using. I'll just have to buy a notsosmart phone to use in the meantime until the new hack comes out.

Second, a recommendation on money matters for any study abroad student: Capitol One offers credit cards with a 0% conversion fee on international use. Everyone else charges about 3%. The card I have has 0% APR until April, so I can accumulate some debt and not worry about it right away.
Unfortunately, Crapitol One lives up to its name quite well: they only gave me a $500 limit, they require you to call them every month to give them an update on where youre traveling to, and my card, without reason, has already been frozen. I had to call and get the hold lifted. When I asked why, they couldnt give me a reason as to the cause. Seriously.
I 100% plan on canceling the card after I get back. its a piece of shit.

Third, Packing is the most monumental task I've ever undertaken. I've eliminated quite a bit. Theres plenty of room in the physical suitcase, but it's exceeding the weight allowance. My shoes alone weigh 11 lbs, and thats after eliminating two pairs!

I honestly dont think I'm being too excessive. Looking at all that stuff and deciding what to eliminate is very difficult, and my mom saying "you sure you dont want to bring that" doesnt help either.
*shoots self*

Therapy and Valium

Massive packing anxiety. I unfortunately am unable to sleep the week before major life events, so I'm sure that isn't helping much either.
I leave tomorrow and I can honestly say that I've only managed to pick out my suitcase and pile the shit that has to be washed into my hamper. Fab.

Tomorrow I'm going to perform a magic act trying to fit all my shoes into a suitcase.
(p.s. every single pair is Aldo, shocker)

Oh, and a weather update: SURPRISE! Rain every day!
