Wot wot?

I am going to England for two weeks today. For those of you to whom this comes as a surprise, let me present a number of reasons why you may not have heard of my trip:

1. I didn't really want to mention it because everyone who most of you who read this blog are unable to travel right now due to work/monies issues, and I was trying to minimize jealous reaction since I just got back from Japan and am saving up for school in Vancouver and still get an all-expenses paid trip to England (like Paddington, I always seem to land on my feet). Guilt guilt guilt!

2. It didn't feel like a big deal, since the whole reason I'm going (and getting paid for) is because my gran has been awfully sick and she offered to fly me over so she'd get to see me. So it's not so much going to England as it is going to Grandma's house for a couple weeks -- it just so happens that Grandma's house is across a very big pond. Luckily she's feeling better now though -- I was worried she'd have no energy while I was there, and spend the whole time worrying that she was boring me stiff (which she couldn't do, really, since I'm taking a lot of schoolwork with me and she's a hilarious lady).

3. I am a forgetful person, especially when it comes to telling people about things that have been in the works for a while.

Anyways, I'm all packed (my carry-on alone is a tetris-like triumph) and am looking forward to seeing various relations and perhaps some pretty churches. Also, hilarious towns like 'Little Piddleston' would be appreciated.
