So, I am officially the worst blogger on the planet. Although I do believe no one is actually reading this (except for my mom when I call her and yell at her to haha) but just in case, I don't even have a valid excuse why I've neglected my blog so much for the last month... In the last two weeks I have been doing a whole lot of nothing so I couldn't tell you why. But I'll catch you up now I suppose.
So right after my last post (I believe) I went to Prague! It was super cold and rainy there the whole weekend but it was great to see Emma, and it was SO CHEAP THERE. it hurt me so much to come back to the pound. But it was nice while it lasted.
A week or so after I returned from Prague, Lynn came to visit! And I was sooooooo happy!! It was so nice to see family, I was starting to get really homesick and lonely. We had SUCH a fun time over the few days she was here - I took her to Primark (the best place ever, and I think her head almost flew off with excitement) and then we had some great walks around the city, some nice meals, and Sunday we did ALL the sightseeing. I have to say, I am impressed with all of us. Somehow we managed to see every single sight in the entire city in one day. And we had a Sunday roast!! It was so cute and englishy. Then Monday, we went to Liverpool which was amazing. The Beatles Story (big exhibit) was awesome, and then we got to see the pubs where the Beatles played, the John Lennon Statue and wall of fame, the Eleanor Rigby Statue and Penny Lane. We failed to realize that Abbey Road (after desperately searching for it) was in fact, in London. Oh well, at least I will get to see it before I leave! Then Tuesday I took Lynn and Diane to Camden market which was so fun. I was so glad they came, we had a great time - and I got to see more pictures of my baby Deanie! I can't wait to meet him when I get home :)
So after Lynn and Diane got on their plane back to America, (I begged them to put me in their suitcase) it was Thanksgiving. It was so weird to be away from home, but my roommate and I decided to make the best of our teeny tiny kitchen and roast a chicken. Her mom mailed her cranberry sauce and pumpkin to make pumpkin pie too! We failed to realize in the supermarket that you don't need to marinate a chicken, you just roast it, but our chicken ended up being DELISH! Despite the fact that we were missing mashed potatoes (my fav) we had a wonderful dinner and it was so cute.
Since Thanksgiving a week ago, I have started to go a little stir crazy. Once the holiday was over, it felt like we were really in the homestretch. The problem is, that we aren't really close enough to going home yet to be thinking about it every second and counting down the hours. Yet, I find myself doing this just about every moment of the day that I'm awake. Its not that I haven't enjoyed my time in London - I love the city, but I am getting fed up with school (a whole fiasco with my papers) and I am homesick for America, and I'm just done with my experience here for now. I am sick of the food here, it is WAY too cold outside, and I miss my wardrobe. Not to mention, my family, friends, boyfriend, my doggies! and my BED, my car. And a normal American grading system. And things are winding down now, and I just spend so many hours at home on my computer, bored to tears. And all I can do is stare at my calendar and try to make the days go faster with my eyes. Well, just 18 more days and I will be home for the holidays....
