Okay. I'm leaving for England in two weeks and a half, and I'm already scared out of my mind. I'm a really apprehensive person, just making my timetable for school sends me into fits of nervousness, and now, hell, I'm really, really afraid. Like, I know it's only a semester and that I'll have a fantastic time once I'm there, but right now? uuuuuugh, fear. I've never traveled or lived on my own, and I've never been away from my family for more than a week, and I get horribly tongue-tied about speaking in English with natives (I know, I know...) and, dunno, stuff like that.

So, um, I would really appreciate tips for starting to live alone and whatnot and settling in in a different country. Stories about your first weeks in college/moving out/going abroad for long times/etc, etc would be really appreciated as well. HELP ME GET LESS NERVOUS, YOU GUYS. PLZ. ;_____;

(I just had to check my timetable and realized I'll have to look for a bazillion people to get into new classes, since I wasn't accepted in all of them or something? Didn't quite get it but I'm sort of shaking and yes I probably need therapy or something but it's a bit late for that, isn't it?)
