Well, it's not long now!

Finished my bloody English Literature exams today - so that's one A-Level down! 2 to go though, I still have a Religious Studies exam on Monday and an English exam on the Wednesday.

<<<-------- My suitcase! All packed and full of goodies, with added stickers and ribbons and things to identify it on the conveyer belt!

I'm meeting my Nan on Tuesday, I have to go to Lewes to hand in my Student Finance blah. I wouldn't have to go to Lewes normally, but because they ask for your passport along with the loan application, and because I NEED my passport this month (^_^) I have to go the County Hall just to show them my passport and prove I'm not an illegal immigrant, etc. So I thought I'd go on the train and meet my nan on the way, that way at least I get to see someone I haven't seen for a long time, which surely relieves the boredom of the whole thing.

Anyway, that's all very uninteresting.

What IS interesting is that I am packed and ready to go to Alaska!

I'll be flying on a Boeing 777, which is one of the biggest jet planes in the world. It carries about 300 people! Surely, out of all those people, there must be someone on the plane I can socialise with and talk to, to make the hours pass.

My flight leaves Heathrow at 11.15am, so I have to leave home at about 4 or 5am to make sure I get the flight (in case of traffic jams, alien invasion, etc). That flight is 10 hours. It arrives at Houston, Texas at about 3.35pm there, and my connecting flight leaves at 5.30, so I only have an hour and 55 minutes to get on the flight! After that, it stops at Seattle for at least an hour, and finally gets to Anchorage at 11.26pm...

I'm really getting excited now. I'ts the furthest I've even been away from home (8,000 miles) and the first flight I've taken alone (and its a pretty long and complicated flight, which is daunting yet exciting). But Rebekah Wheatley loves her adventure and excitement so bring it on!

Woohoo! This summer's going to be great! Spain too, in September!


Bye for now, I'm going to be spending a lot of time revising this week.
