The above is the automatic title that WordPress gives to your first post, and I could change it but upon consideration I think it’s kind of cute. Reminds me of something Wilbur from Charlotte’s Web would say just after birth. So hopeful. Also somewhat ambitious, in terms of the readership that it supposes. More accurately, I could say, Hello, Mom and Dad. When I send them the url, they will read this. I know they will. I also like the comment from Mr. WordPress, so I’m keeping that too.
So anyway, I’ll be keeping a log of the time I spend in London this summer. I did this last summer in China. (You can find that at http://nell-beijingsummer.blogspot.com/ if you’re interested. Keep in mind that I was venting. In a country with very little ventilation.) I’m looking forward to doing it again. I like to think that my being on a trip takes some of the self-indulgence out of it. And I’m excited about doing it here. When I was blogging at Blogspot, no Mr. Blogspot came over and left a comment on my first post. This is so friendly. Plus it makes it appear that I have friends.
I leave on Friday; at this time two days from now I will probably be somewhere over Ireland. I’m excited. I’m taking American Airlines. I wonder if they’ll do the safety announcements twice over like they did when I went to France. Fasten your seatbelts, chappies.
By the way, the name of the blog comes from an email one of the Yale-in-London program coordinators sent us detailing the schedule for the term. I just think it’s really funny. Not a holiday. Noted.
