An Introduction

Hello! This is the blog I've set up to share pictures and stories about living and studying abroad in London. I've never really thought about setting up a blog before, but I decided that it would be a great way for me to share my experiences for those interested as well as having an easy way for me to look back on this exciting time in my life!

As of right now I have the best intentions of blogging frequently, but I'm a procrastinator (I haven't started packing even though I'm moving to a different country in three days!) and don't really have any idea about how to format pictures or blog posts yet. I already know that my next post will probably not be for a couple of weeks, since my classmates and I will be doing some intense traveling around Europe for the beginning of the semester and I won't have time/wifi/energy to blog. This post is my one chance to familiarize myself to blogging before my life gets really crazy.

I feel like I should explain the title of this blog. I tried several different British-related puns (all of which were already taken by other people), before my dad came up with Blabbey Road. I'll be living in the city where Abbey Road/Abbey Road Studios is located and Abbey Road the Beatles album was recorded so, it kind of fits. And I've already written three paragraphs about nothing so I guess the blabby part applies. It wasn't my first choice name, but I love puns so I'll take it. Here's a picture to kind of tie everything together: (My dad photoshopped this to look like the Abbey Road album cover. All the pictures he used were of me when I was sick, or after I'd had oral surgery. Thanks Dad.)

Maybe I'll actually get to recreate this while I'm there!

I can't wait to get to London. I'm a mixture of excitement and anxiousness! I hope that I can share funny, insightful, and enlightening things with those reading. Until next time!
