The Night Before

So this past week has gone by SO fast!
Monday was mostly looking for stuff I needed, etc. etc.. Tuesday was the same, except I got the chance to hang out with Emily and go to the movies. This was even more awesome because we got to see a pre-screening (or whatever) of Easy A (: It's coming out tomorrow in theaters, but Michelle gave me a two ticket pass to see it on Tuesday night! So at around 5:30 I set out to get Emily at her house. From there (and thanks to Kelli and her gps,) we got to the Huebner Oaks AMC theater wayyy across the world. Holy cow, that movie is HILARIOUS. I highly recommend it. Emma Stone is such a good actress, definitely someone to look for in upcoming movies. She's only done comedy movies, which is fine with me! She's awesome!

After the movie, we set out for home, but we were hungry.. so we ended up driving around, trying to find somewhere to eat. Finally, Emily spotted a Ruby Tuesdays, a place that we had never been before. We didn't even know we had one in San Antonio! So we park and go inside, expecting a Red Robin-like atmosphere, but it turns out it's a little fancier than we hoped for. So here we are, in t-shirts, jeans and flip-flops, waiting to be seated at this fancy place. It was funny, because of course this would happen to us. The food was good, not anything amazing, and we had a creepy waiter, but it was fun. I drove Emily home and headed back to get some sleep.  Yay for an awesome night (:

Yesterday consisted of getting my hair cut! Hoorah! Finally, I made an appointment and went to get my hair trimmed. It's nothing drastic or anything, just a trim and a style, but I needed it. I got to talk to my hairdresser (and friend of the family now, I suppose,) John about where I was going and stuff. It was pretty cool. Afterward I went home and helped my mom make dinner. My tio Toni and tia Judy came over for dinner and a last hoorah. It was nice to see them and talk to them. We don't get to see them very often.

Oh man, so last night was crazy. I could NOT sleep. I felt that queasy sea-sickness stomach ache feeling and my mind would not stop racing! I mean, I'm really excited to go, but I'm nervous at the same time. I can't believe that I'm leaving tomorrow! It's been four months, and everyone is gone, and now it's my turn. It's not like I've never flown alone, but it still makes me nervous. I don't want to miss flights or have my luggage lost like when I went to Japan. Ugh, that wasn't the most pleasant thing ever. At least the Japanese people were nice to me.

So about my flight; I'll be leaving at 4 pm from here to Chicago. I'll spend a little time at the O'Hare airport (about 4 hours..) and from there I go straight to Heathrow airport in London! I'll arrive at about 10 am where someone will pick me up from the Queen Mary and take me directly there. I'll hopefully be able to find Jennifer and we will go on our adventure of buying sheets and things we need for school! Ahhh so nervous. Wish me luck, everyone! The next time I update this, I'll be in London!! (or, in route to London..)
