A Semester in England

well this weekend was pretty quiet, i had dinner yesterday with Muriel and some of the kids from her church. That was pretty fun. Other than that the weekend has been pretty calm. We are trying to plan a girls night, but i do not know how that will turn out but seriously looking forward to it!!! i sent out the pictures from Dover castle. I was a little disappointed that i didn't get a little bit of a better pic of the white cliffs but i think that i got a postcard of it so everything is ok!! I was so proud of myself last night i looked through all of my pictures from home without even wanting to cry! Needless to say i still miss everyone but i think that i am just having some fun at this point!! I have offically started another day in the computer lab of the Student Union!! so yeah everything is going great and the next feild trip is next friday i beleive and that one is to London?? i will have to double check!!!
Love ya!! chow!!!!

Alright well it is a new day in Canterbury and it started with Art class. where i proceeded to get paint all over my hands but luckily not on my clothes. I put up two more pictures on my bullitin board last night! I could actually look at them without crying! it was a miracle. I still miss my car though! all of the walking is starting to kill me. The whole eating thing has really taken a backseat while I am here, I actually think that my stomach starting eating itself! it was really disturbing!! I have offically decided to start carrying snacks with me!! I also desperatly need to find a jacket! something that is in between my coat and my sweater! however, the search is not going so well!!

our first weekend long trip was booked yesterday, to Eddinbourgh and york over Jessica's birthday, Feb 15-17!!! the weekend of Feb 1 we are thinking of Paris but that is getting close and we may have to push it back.

Anyway, I will write more and prolly send pics soon because tomorrow is Dover Castle!!! Love ya bunches!!!

Alright well, it is safe to say that i am doing better today than i was yesterday!!! i finished my paper for tomorrow did my homework for shakespeare and have class in about 45 minutes!!! Travel plans are starting to get more final and i have sent everyone at least a link to a new slideshow, however i think that it would be a miracle if i actually sent the slideshow! i just cannot get things to work today!!! Anyway i am going to go and get ready for class!! talk to you later!!!

Well i think that the lacjk of routine is finally starting to catch up with me. The rain and the late night have brought on a cold and the lack of eating well is not helping. Lst night I had my first lazy night and just watched tv and chilled. My first homework assignment is due tomorrow and it is not going to be fun! Speaking of that Saturday night was a blast us girls plus Aaron and Chris minus a sick Jill all went out and had a blast!!! The rest of this week will be devoted to finding my British schedule, starting with a little music detox! !!! So other than a lack of schedule and the stupid toe that i broke last year throbbing like no other everything is going pretty well.

I had dinner yesterday with Muriel and Matt. We had SHepards pie and veggies. She said that it was a weekly thing to make dinner for whom ever was there on Sunday afternoon. ALso, next week she is supposed to have people from her church over, she estimated about ten.

Today is going to be spent doing homework and getting ready for the week of classes.

Last night I got pretty HOmesick, walking home i realized that I really really miss my car and that i miss my house!! Everything is alright, i distracted myself with some tunes and Tetris that i found on my phone!! THe waves come and go but over all I love it here!! However, I can say with most certainty that this is the adventure of my life and once i get home I will be ready to settle in and grow up!!

So don't worry about me everything we be alright and i will see all of your bright and shinny faces when i get home on Easter!!!!

This morning was a very slow and amazing one! i did not leave the house until 12 and only woke up at 9. After being in England for six days this is the longest amnount of time that i have spent at my homestay!! Yesterday was amazing, between the Cathedral and St. Augustine's, i was captivated!!
tonight we are all having dinner at our mentor's house and planning the trips that we are going to be taking outside of the uk!! I sent some pictures yesterday and i think that i have found an easier way to send them so that you will get to see more with me doing less work!!! Well hope everyone has a great day!! ......Until tomorrow!!!

Today we took a walking tour of the city, which has been covered in the last week. the Cathedral is amazing and it was raining during the ruins so it could have been better. Our first trip out of the city is next friday, to London!!
