My plane ticket is booked into LAX for June 30th! A 7 hour ride, transferring in Paris. I came here with 4 suitcases and after 9 months of being here, I can only leave with 20 kg. That equates to 44 lbs. And for every 1 pound is an extra 5 pounds. Ha ha. £5 for every extra 1 lbs, which really equals 7 dollars. Or as they say 12 GBP for every 1 kg -depending on the current GBP/USD exchange rate. (And just a side note, because of that my rent is $500 cheaper now than it was in September!) (Btw I am quite impressed with myself for figuring out conversions, which happens to be *extremely* confusing as the US is *extremely* behind in figuring out that they are probably the only country, besides I think Burma, still NOT using the metric system that the rest of this WORLD uses). Moving on ..My journey consists of walking, bus-ing, tube-ing, foreign countries, airports, and most likely ..stairs. Awesome. I'm anticipating the worst case of awkward humiliation ever so when it really happens it wont be so horrible. All I must do is focus on being in Lake Forest till mid-August then back to San Francisco for 1 more semester (or year) till I get to graduate!?!!? I'm telling you guys, time flies. But after so many many MANY years of building up my education status I think its really cool that I'm finally graduating into the worst financial crisis in 50 years! NOT.
What is even more MENTAL (British word for crazy) is that we are 1/4 of the way through 2009. And then, we will hit a new decade. And then we'll be in the 20's and when people refer to the 20's how will we know if they're talking about the 1920's or the 2020's?
