Preparations are going less than smoothly, with a few minor frustrations. Getting a UK Visa has been perhaps the most harrowing experience to date. (With the exception of buying an outrageously expensive plane ticket.) I've started pondering what the contents of my suitcase will be, which usually just ends in my belief that one will not be enough to hold all the necessary items. I also have just (barely) begun my summer reading list, which includes: Phantastes and Lilith by George MacDonald; and The Screwtape Letters, Till We Have Faces and The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis.
When I am not contemplating clothes or novels I am fretting over money exchange and how much travel I will be able to get in. My travel book keeps me company, however, and allows me to dream of the the places I only hope I have enough money to go see.
