My flight!

Surprise to me! My parents have apparently been lying to me for a while now... I'm in the business class section of my flight (thanks to my dads points!)!! My seat lies all the way down 😱 and we get so much free stuff! I have hand and cuticle cream... A blanket... Eye mask... Comfy socks... WOW!!!! I might actually get some sleep on the way to London! Love you mom and dad, thank you!!!!

One day to go...

I can't believe the day has finally come!! Tomorrow, my journey to London begins with my flight from Denver leaving at 6 am. I don't even mind leaving that early and that says something. I will be attending Queen Mary, University of London. It is in East London and the only university in London with a centralized campus. It's 15 minutes away from the West End of London, 5-10 minutes from Central London, and 10 minutes from the Tower of London (by Tube). Its one tube stop away from the Olympic Stadium and the biggest shopping center in Europe. It will be a dream come true, living in the middle of London. I've managed to pack everything into one giant suitcase and 2 little ones... Not bad for 6 months.

I have a giant list of things I plan on doing and places I want to go to, so I am really going to try to keep this as updated as I can! I am going to miss my family, friends, and SU so much! PLEASE don't hesitate to contact me, I will love to hear from you :-) My number will be different, so the best way to keep in touch with me will be through Facebook, Skype, or email. I'm not sure what my Queen Mary email will be yet, but I'll still keep up with my SU one (rollinsm@southwestern.edu).

P.S. Thanks so much to my aunt Sharon (She-She)! If she hadn't taken my best friend and cousin Kaitlyn and I to London a few years ago, we never would have fallen in love with it and decided we HAD to go back (Kait is studying in London next fall). To Kait- I love you so much and am so excited for you to be at Disney this next semester!
