Departing for Cambridge

Well, everything is packed (just barely). Everything I need to go to school for the next year, including clothes and a good pile of books has been squeezed into two 50 lb duffel bags, a carry-on suitcase, and a small backpack. Its both exciting and a little unsettling to think that I will be in London in just over 12 hours, and Cambridge just a few hours later. In less than a week I’ll be attending lectures. Things move so fast…

I can’t stop worying about everything that might go wrong in the next 24 hours. Hopefully British Air doesn’t lose my luggage (they are 0/2 so far after losing it both ways to Budapest), or forget that I requested a vegetarian meal. If customs and immigration takes too long I’ll miss my bus. I might have too much luggage to take on the bus. I might lose my passport.

But such worying is probably not productive, so I’m going to go play some guitar, have lunch with my brother, and head off to the airport. Unless something catestrophic happens, my next post will be from Cambridge (and should include some pictures).
