Christianna’s Pre-departure Post

It’s Monday and I am currently starting to get ready for our trip to London. Although I haven’t started to physically pack yet, I have for sure started to mentally pack. The trip has definitely snuck up on me, as I have been focused on exams these past two weeks. Although I need to still get money exchanged, I have made steps to prepare. I recently just ordered an adapter and 10 rolls of film off of amazon for the trip. For this trip abroad, I want to focus on taking a lot of point and shoot pictures as a sort of media and hopefully integrate them with sketchbook assignments after I get them developed. I brought a disposable camera with me during fall break to NYC, and ever since I have been obsessed with film photos of cities. Being the person that I am, I am concerned because for this trip, I’m not bringing a checked bag. When traveling overseas, I have always brought a large suitcase, but this time I will just be bringing a carry-on and a book bag for under my seat. It will be harder for me to pack but I think it will be nice to challenge myself to only bring the necessities. I am a little worried about when I should sleep on the flight. I will be pulling an all nighter Thursday into Friday because I don’t trust that I will wake up in time to go if I take a nap. Hopefully I don’t get jet lag!
