General Information

So since I haven't posted anything in two & a half months, and I leave in 34 hours, I figured I should post some general information type things.

Most important, since all of you will be sending me mail, is my address:
Elyss Pickenheim
Metrogate House
3-7 Queen's Gate Terrace
London
SW7 5PE
UK

Stalk it at: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?hl=en&gl=uk&ie=UTF8&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid=106767916996834396844.00044ff695be97ee8de14&z=15. And then ask my mom what she was using because she has virtually walked around my future neighborhood plenty of times.  

I will NOT be using my cell phone, including texts. However, this lovely little appendage that I have called a macbook will be with me. I have AIM and Skype, and of course Facebook. My AIM screename is Elyss89, and my Skype name is Elyss.Pickenheim I think.. but if you search Elyss Pickenheim I'm pretty sure I'll be the only one that comes up. 

And about time zones, I will be 5 hours ahead of you (in EST). 

My flight departs from Newark, NJ tomorrow night at 9:30PM. My flight returns March 21st. So it's 11 weeks.  Less than 3 months. 

Then when I return, I go to my six month co-op. Which will most likely be interning with the guidance counselor at FDR. But we'll see what happens with that. Some of you may be wondering what classes I'm taking when I'm there- nothing for psychology. There is one class that will count toward my 55 needed free elective credits which is mandatory for all FIE students, British Culture & Visual Media. The other 3 classes are: 1. British History 1815 - present (which will fulfill a history elective), 2. History of Modern Design (free elective), and 3. Music In 20th Century Britain (fine arts elective). 

That's as much general info/faq type things I can think of for right now. I'm going to spend my last few hours in the country AWAY from my computer now.
