So, the countdown begins in two days, at which time there will be 100 days till graduation. The fact that I’ll be entering the fray soon scares me less than I thought it would, but it is definitely a weird realization. At the same time, it also puts into sharp perspective how far away I am from where I plan on being someday. I mean, as abrupt as it was, four years is a pretty long time. I feel like I’m not all that much closer to the idea of myself I have in mind — lawyer, family, etc. I certainly don’t feel $160,000 closer, haha.

But enough with the introspection. The Europe trip is officially on! The flights and hotels are booked, credit cards have been charged, and now we’re on the prowl for things like travel adapters. Here’s the itinerary thus far:

TH March 6 – Flight into London overnight
FRI March 7 – Check into base2stay in Kensington
TU March 11 – Take the light rail to Paris and check into Hotel Residence Foch
SA March 15 – Take the rail back to London and stay the night at the Hilton Gatwick
SU March 16 – Flight back to Atlanta, get home at night

By the way, in case you haven’t guessed, this is pretty much going to turn into a My-Trip-to-London-and-Paris blog for the next month and a half. I am very happy about this.

Oh, last thing, progress has been made on the job search, but I’ll give updates soon enough.
