The End

Well, not the end of the blog... after all, I still have about 2 weeks worth of updating to do. But, I figured I'd write this now. It's weird to think that these 2 months I had looked forward to for three years are over. It'll never quite be like this again. I might come back to Europe and I will definitely see the wonderful friends I've made again, but never a combo of the two and that's (for lack of a better word) sad. I suppose all good things must come to an end. It just sucks when a really good thing comes to an end. I don't know if any of you London people read this but... thanks oodles for making this such a wonderful experience. I love you guys! That's it for now... I can't wait to see everyone at home!!!

Busy, Busy, Busy

Hello all of you blog readers! I'm very sorry for the lack of updating... but, it's been busy in London. We had our finals all last week and saw a show every night. Last weekend was Amsterdam and this past weekend was Edinburgh (For those of you who have Facebook, pics from both trips are posted there). Anyway, we are off to Cornwall in a half an hour and staying there for three nights. Unfortunately, this means I have no time to update. I have everything written in my journal and still fresh in my mind. Things will be posted eventually. I'm still not as bad at updating as Jared. Heehee :) Love and miss everyone!

Amsterdam

Well, before I get to Amsterdam... I have some other things to talk about. Billy Elliot. Amazing show. Maybe my favorite one so far. I have never seen such talented children in my entire life. They were really incredible. There is this one scene where young Billy Elliot and his imaginary older self dance together and it gave me goosebumps. I cried because it was sad and I cried because I was laughing so hard. That was Wednesday night. Thursday, we had class all morning and then went to the Open Air Theatre in Regents Park to see Twelfth Night. It was... not my favorite. Olivia messed up half her lines and would then repeat them to correct her mistakes. It probably didn't help that we were sitting in the direct sun for the first half of the show, but I just wasn't that impressed. It seems like the actors at the Globe really know their stuff, where the actors in this show were not at that same level. But we had a lovely picnic lunch in the park with Val beforehand, which was a good time. Afterwards, Noelle, Kurt and I booked it to the tube station to catch the train to the airport.
