Brave New World

It's Monday, three weeks until we board a plane to Manchester, England. From there we go to York via train and then to a hostel for, hopefully, only a few days. What started as a vague plan a year ago has come to fruition and we're both stoked!

Today, I got my visa in the mail, AND my schedule for fall and spring were posted online! I've been nervous, not knowing what my classes would be, how my schedule would look. But now I know!

Gaby hasn't received her schedule yet as she has more options than me. That is to say, she actually HAS options, whereas I do not. She gets to pick her classes at the end of the first week of school at which point we'll both know our schedules.

We still have some paperwork to get through until we're fully ready to go, but it's getting there. We're almost ready. At least as ready as we can be considering we can't rent a flat until we get there. Fortunately, once we arrive we have over a month to get used to the new city, new culture, and new life style.

As this is our first post, I thought I would try my hand at it, though I can bet that Gaby will be our voice from this point on. I may, however, post some awesome science when I learn it! So stay tuned.
