Goodbyes and Digestives

February 2, 2010

Amy and Kaydi left me today… wish they could have stayed for a month rather than a week! But after the craziness of last week, I’m relaxing for a few days, catching up on homework, and recovering from my food coma. Not a lot going on around here this week, but…

Olivia is in Australia! She got there almost a week ago. I talked to her on Skype. She lives in a castle… overlooking Sydney harbor… Jealous! And it is like 89 degrees there. Why didn’t I study in Australia??? Follow her blog at cheerstoolivia.blogspot.com. Also, my roommate Kelsie is in Milan, Italy this semester! I’m hoping to visit her at the end of my stay for a week or so. Her blog is welcometomilan.blogspot.com.

Mom and I have been trying to figure out a place for her and Grandma to stay in April. I think we are going to rent a small flat for those ten days or so. It seems like the best option because I guess London hotels are ridiculously expensive and the rooms are tiny! My program coordinator, Mary, is currently trying to help us find a place. She is great. Always full of advice. The advisors of this program have truly made this program so enjoyable and stress-free. I don’t know what I would do without them.

What else? I’m giving up Digestives. Have I mentioned these yet? They are the devil! Little cookie/biscuits that have milk chocolate on one side… ugh, sooooo good. I eat a whole pack when I get them.. Not good. I’m giving them up. We’ll see how long that lasts.

Oh, that reminds me. Last night, Hal and I met Amy and Kaydi at the Victoria pub for a drink before they had to leave. It was a great time. We just sat around, chatted about their flight in the morning, what they thought of London, and, of course, Amy and Grant’s wedding. Then, I said goodbye to Amy for three months! And proceeded to buy an entire pack of Digestives, ate the whole thing on the tube ride home. Last time. Seriously.

Today… boring. Didn’t do anything of interest except made spaghetti with mushrooms for dinner and went to Art History at two.

I’ll be putting a bunch of pictures on Facebook soon of my adventures with Amy and Kaydi. Keep an eye out!

Love you!
