I leave in a week, help (practice post)

This post is just me practicing to see if I can manage to post blogs through email since I'm about to spend 3 and a half months with no internet!!!

Since we're a week away from my flight to London, I'm pretty much completely ready to go with all my packing, shopping, and various preparation done (as evidenced by this picture I'm trying to attach if that works too)


If you decide to follow my blog throughout my trip aka if you are a member of my family, I promise I'll try to post regularly and I may even occasionally talk about things I do aside from consuming alcohol. Just kidding, I won't be talking about that at all (contrary to the name of this blog) there will likely be occasional profanity so viewer discretion is advised. It wouldn't be entertaining or like me if I wrote this like a school assignment.

As many of you already know this trip I'm referring to is my study abroad program, Semester at Sea. I embark from Southampton on August 23rd and I will be back in the good ol' USofA on December 8th. In between that time I will be traveling to 14 different countries. I will also be taking class. Sucks, I know I feel the same way. Here is our voyage calendar which shows the days we're in countries and which ones I'm taking classes.

I don't really know what to expect since I've never been out of the country or on a cruise ship so let's hope that I have a good sense of direction and don't get seasick. I won't really have access to a phone except occasionally in port when I have wifi and will be using Viber mostly to call my mom so she knows I'm not dead in a hole in Russia or something. I will have access to email almost all the time so please email me (victoria.hancock.fa14@semesteratsea.org) so I know what's going on in the world and your lives.

So that's all for now, stay tuned for updates on my experiences in countries, ship lyfe, and  who knows what else.

Feel free to comment and give me ideas of things you want me to write about too, I live to please the masses
