Time Flies!

It seems like it was yesterday when I got the au pair job. I was originally looking for an au pair job in Spain, so I could improve my Spanish before interning next semester. I was not having any luck finding a job. I told my mom that I was just going to stay in Atlanta for the summer and find another nanny job. The next day I started talking to this family from England. I am kinda obsessed with all things British. Talking to them just felt right and all signs were pointing me to go to Surrey this summer. I can not believe that I am leaving in 9 days! I could not be more excited, but I am starting to get nervous. When I mean nervous I am really talking about the next nine days. I have finals, projects, and papers that are all due. And on top of that I have to pack and move things from the office and clean out drawers in the bathroom so that Margot (my amazing new roomie) can move in with ease when she gets back from South Africa. I have never been away from my family for more than a month, and that was last summer when I was in Spain. Also the idea of packing from 3 1/2 months is very daunting.

I can not believe that I am so close to getting on that plane and leaving the States. It has always been my dream to live in London. I will be living in Surrey right outside London. I am actually living in the town where they filmed "The Holiday". I just have a feeling that this will be one of the best summer's of my life and I will have opportunities like I have never had before!
