I leave for England in roughly ten days. It's a weird time. I've reached that point where I have to start saying goodbye to New Orleans, but it's still too early to start packing for Corsham. As such, the past week has been research time.
I've Facebook stalked all of my classmates as thoroughly as possible (which is to say I've learned hardly anything about them at all). I've "walked" the streets of Corsham on Google Maps and peeked inside of every store and restaurant available to me. I've collected crafts to decorate my apartment with, advice for moving, and things to see and do. I've learned all of the pertinent bus routes and started following Bath news outlets on twitter.
It's been obsessive work.
Hopefully this blog will eventually chronicle the product of all this research-- the flat decor, the adventures, the new home feelings-- but for now: a sneak peak.
