I leave for Manchester in T-3 days and, as of now, am completely unprepared. After five weeks of being at home, you’d think I’d be ready to go, but then again, who doesn’t like the thrill of a deadline?
While I’m beyond ecstatic to be leaving, I had to say goodbye to Chapel Hill this afternoon. And even though I was there every day this week (yes, Mon.-Wed. and Thurs.-Sat.), I know I didn’t appropriately say goodbye to everyone – so if that's you, Cheers for now!
I’ll keep everybody updated via this blog throughout my trip, but right now, I’ll give you a little sneak peak of what I have planned so far:
1. St. Patrick’s Day in Dublin
2. Attendance at the Royal Wedding (ultimate goal: marry Harry)
So not a lot, but that’s the idea – rolling with the punches this semester. It’s goodbye to schedules and hello to whims.
And you may ask, why Manchester? Well if you’ve ever seen my foreign language skills, you wouldn’t be asking the question. Then there’s my affinity for the British culture. I’ve always wanted to go to England because it’s where my 2 idolized camp counselors studied abroad, and since the bschool only has a program in Manchester, it low and behold became my number one.
I received my dorm assignment about a week ago and it’s located on the freshman part of campus, but a lot of exchange students end up there too, because all of us (freshman included) have pass/fail classes – aka you can find someone going out every night. Bottom line: there’s a bar in my dorm.
