HELLO, LONDON! | SUMMER ABROAD VLOG #1

[Music] hello hey youtube its Zoe and welcome to the first study of fried vlog I might make up a name for these vlogs I don't know yeah it's officially at less than 24 hours until I fly to London but I mean I actually fly to Philadelphia and then I fly to London but that's not as exciting staying it that way I just finished filming at the last video I had to pre film I decided to pre film 5 videos so that I could get settled in London without having to worry about making new videos so it's good that I did all of that work I pre found videos I finished my semester of college I got a 100 on my last exam so that's good that I have done stuff this past week but I have not started packing yet and I leave in 18 hours my luggage is a right there on my bed empty making me feel guilty so I think I probably should start packing you know that might be a good idea I'm I don't know why I've been putting it off because I don't know but whatever we're gonna do it right now also a lot of you asked if I could fill my packing process which I didn't know that was the thing people were interested in but why not let's do it operation pack of Zoe's entire life for the summer is a go [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] hello it is the day I leave it's Monday May 7th we're on the way to the airport I feel like I'm gonna throw up it does not feel real I don't know if I feel like I've it threw up because of excitement or because I'm nervous it's a mixture of both it doesn't feel real I know I've done this before time this before and you were this nervous last time - I finished packing last night at about yes and then I did my nails because it had been a bird they were gross and also had to shave my legs because it's been way too long anyway people need to know I'm a little bit sleep-deprived I totally over packed I know you probably realize that when I did my little packing montage but the thing is that I have to have both business and everyday travel clothes so I didn't know how much to pack so I packed everything my luggage is going to be over 50 pounds and it's but it's better to be over-prepared right I'm just talking to ease my nerves but it's not working we're on the way to the airport I will fill you all in later wish me luck Oh also I put my hair we're still gonna talk I put my hair in pigtails because my hair gets so frizzy on flights it's the dry air and last time I had an international flight I arrived at my destination and my hair was like Hermione's in potions class it was humongous and now it's it's nice and sleek I don't usually put my hair in pigtails but gotta do what you gotta do okay now I'm gonna I'm gonna leave but thanks for pushing my luggage dad and look how much I packed Oh No my baggage was too heavy so I had to move things around and now I'm wearing like 17 jackets but anyway oh yeah I'm saying goodbye okay see you listen three months in London at the end of my program but still well you can't check in so now it's just go to the gate yep everything's good I'm fine okay time to get on the plane bye [Music] I'm in the Philadelphia Airport it's weird I have like a strong sense of calm about me now it's I feel a little bit too cold because I'm so nervous earlier but when I was on that last plane I ended in tire video so I feel pretty cool about that but also I feel like I should be more nervous than I am I'm gonna go eat now though I packed myself a dinner from home because I wasn't sure if there would be any vegan options on the plane so I have a PB&J and I got this bento box I'm really excited about and I roasted some chickpeas I made these little protein peanut butter oatmeal all things I don't know they have chocolate in them so I'm excited and I have some emergency because I always get sick when I travel and also I always forget to remain hydrated so this is a great combination [Music] we're going to be friends so I am in my new room oh my goodness I this is my bed right here right by the window it's pretty nice I have a little reading light up there this is perfection and I'm nice big closet also kara who I sat next to on the bus is my roommate this is great oh my gosh feel the wind come in we're going to go get lunch and try not to fall asleep because none of us slept on the plane and eventually maybe we should start unpacking maybe we are walking to lunch would you like to this is my new friend Devin we're very indecisive it's mostly my fault because I'm vegan it's really not but and wonder where the document is though what is this document we're in Soho Square we got some falafel wraps I've never seen it this crowded this yeah this is the happening day in Soho Square yeah I missed a step it's 546 and we just finished our first day of orientation we didn't we just talked about safety and stuff and everyone was dead even though they gave us cookies that was nice but I think we're going to go to the grocery store and then I'm going to have to finish unpacking and just try to keep myself awake into a reasonable sleeping hour I feel like good hello this is my other roommate and we're going to get groceries that's all that's happening it is now 9 p.m. almost 9 p.m. I successfully date awake and I'm having like a weird energy booth right now but I think that's just the sugar I just had I finished unpacking and then we went to the grocery store and I was so confused in the grocery store half that was because of jetlag and half of that was because nothing was where I thought it would be even though there were the signs that said like what category were like of food was in that aisle but things were in odd places it's ok though I forgive them now I'm in pajamas I'm going to play some Harry Potter Hogwarts mystery mobile game before bed and wash my face because I feel disgusting we have to get up bright and early tomorrow morning for more orientation talk to you on tomorrow Oh bye you want to say good bye bye good morning it is Wednesday and today is orientation day so I'm not going to pretty much vlog at all since we'll be in a lecture hall the entire time having people talk at us but I didn't sleep well at all last night why isn't it because I had my window open the whole time since there's no fan in here and that needs some airflow so there was a lot of noise but also - I was home sick and sad I don't know about you but I like Sam I cried myself to sleep ok that sounds like terrible but I think that part of it was that I was overtired so I was just highly emotional but also like I miss I didn't say goodbye to my dogs before I left still like I'm a terrible dog motor like we're terrible apparently but yeah I I was crying I don't know if you heard me thing like you were pretty asleep and I was just if you have my cold I wish I could sleep anyway so I'm fine now i I've accepted that I am in London like it's all real now and I don't know it's all seemed a little bit overwhelming because I have no idea what I'm doing I don't know how to in turn I don't know how to like live as an adult that's what this summer is about I guess we're learning a lot about ourselves ok orientation time bye we've finished our day of orientation yes we did we are now oriented and we are going to a play tonight getting really cultured in London we're back from the play we obviously could not film in the theatre so I didn't film anything but we're back in the play it's like 10:45 at night I got some sushi because the tofu sushi was half off before closing oh hi Kara and then I'm going to go to bed hopefully I will get the first good night's sleep I've gotten in a whole week hopefully fingers crossed but tomorrow we're going to Harry Potter world I'm going to do an entire vlog dedicated to that because I'm sure it's going to be a very long vlog because I'm very excited anyway gonna eat my sushi gonna go to bed and I'll talk to you all in the next vlog thank you so much for watching oh my goodness you were along for the rush with me and I'm finally settled in London what a crazy log this hasn't been oh my goodness ok bye I'm gonna say bye [Music]
