Being a packrat pays off!

Will be in London for three days. It will be my first solo trip not counting trips to or within Sweden or The Philippines.

Needed a somewhat formal shoulder bag and none of my usual bags would work, but I unearthed this in one of my many storage boxes.

Mid-December to mid-January was an anxious time for me with my fate for the spring semester hanging in the balance. I was pretty sure that things would work out, but the lingering doubt was draining nonetheless and I'm hoping this little trip will give me a much needed energy boost.
