Hello!!
Just thought I would let everyone know that I have arrived at Lakenheath's Air Force Base and am REALLY tired! I am headed to bed in an attempt to get on a schedule that allows me to function properly!
Goodnight to all of those currently experiencing 4:49PM...It's 10:49PM here! I will try and create a more informative post in the next few days
Later Gators,

The Beginning of an Adventure...
Hello Everyone!!!
This will be my first blog post roughly two days prior to my departure for England. Although I will not have too much to write in this particular blog, I wanted to let everyone know I will probably throw grammar and special creative writing out the window while creating such blogs. I might get creative at times, but I do not want to spend too much time proof reading my blogs - and you all know I would if I allowed it!
For those of you that do not know, I was actually planning on being sent out on behalf of Camp Adventure in July. At about 72 hours before my current departure, I received a phone call telling me that the contracts with the English Immersion camp fell through. Camp Adventure administrative staff said they had an opening in England at a Royal Air Force Base. I had roughly two hours to decide to leave in June instead of July - my biggest concern was logistics and wrapping everything up at home before leaving. I decided I might as well take this opportunity, I'm all about those, and have the adventure of a LIFE TIME!!
For the last two days I have been trying to get everyone, including myself, mentally and physically prepared for me leaving for approximately 3 months. This has been a huge growing opportunity and I look forward to many, many more. I feel as though I will have gained a huge set of skils and learned a lot about myself and when I return one day before classes start at Iowa State University, I will be a much different indivdual.
CHEERIO!!! - haha, that is the best I can do to try and prepare you for what I am about to experience. (Thank you Jennifer Garret for attempting to part with me in my new cultural language.)
