it's raining at the castle on my last day here.
we keep saying the castle is crying because we have to leave it.
i am only here for another 16 hours, and then i leave for london, and my flight leaves at 12:30 p.m. GMT.
that's 8:30 a.m. at home.

my wardrobe key is in the lock where i found it.
my bags are packed, sitting on the floor, on my bed, and on my desk beside me.
the only things that remained to be packed are my laptop, as well as ducky, D2-seuss, and tim, my stuffed animals who will go in my carry on bag.
i will return my room key card early tmr morning.


last night was the last party of our stay at the ISC.
good times were had by all.
at the end of the night i went up to andrew, my children's lit prof, and told him that even though i'm not an english major and absolutely suck at english now, i loved his class and that although he was my hardest prof ever he was also the most awesome i ever had and that i loved him.
he thanked me, genuinely shocked i'm sure, and i gave him a hug and had to leave cause i was starting to cry.

i came home and katie was here, home from her scotland trip and she thought i was absolutely drunk cause i looked so awful.
i told her what happened and went online and talked to josh, and he was really good about the whole thing.
i talked to him this morning, and the next time i talk to him (not tonight) i will be talking to his face.

this is crap.
i love it here.
i don't know what to think.
i want to stay.
i want to leave.
it's crap.
utter, complete, absolute crap.

people keep telling me i can come back to england.
it's not england i'll miss.
it's buck and ruth and zachey and simon and all the SLCs and andrew and the ducks and going to school in a castle and the rain and even the awful food.
i can come back to england, but the only thing that will remain of this experience will be my memories because we won't ever be here again.

oh God, this is crap.

readjustment will be hard.
i will be a cranky bitch, i know it.
no one will appreciate my company for the first few days, so God bless them if they live through it.

anyway.
that's it for here, i guess.
i loved it.
every minute.

hey all.

sorry about not posting lately, there hasn't been much to say and i've been busy with end of term papers and stuff.
we went to oxford last weekend so i have a lot of pics from there that i will get around to posting, i promise.
tonight is the end of term closing ceremonies, but katie and i won't be here for them.
why you ask?

BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO BERLIN TODAY!!!

i'm really excited.
berlin is the place i've wanted to visit the most and i finally get to go.
it's also supposed to be really nice there this weekend - the weekend highs are 17 and 21 degrees for saturday and sunday, respectively.
REALLY glad i bought a pair of capris from ASDA the other day!

anywho, just thought i should say something, since i haven't in a while.

totally love you all.

well well well.

i feel like crap once again today.
woke up with a major headache.
i only slept for four hours last night due to actually doing some school work last night.
reading and the like.
i only have 8 DAYS of school left, of actual classroom time.
8 DAYS!!!
crazy.

tomorrow i will do more work.
film journals.
reading for english.
katie (roomie) is going to wales for a huge hiking trip she has been anticipating all term this weekend.
so i am going to hide out like a hermit and do some work.
(it's about fricken time.)

i took some pics earlier today, so i just thought i would share, mostly for my family since they don't get to see much of "me" pics.
oh yeah, and cause i'm vain.
not the best trait, but i was in a pic mood.

soooo.

le click! )

well.
more readings (the chronicles of narnia and the secret garden for children's lit) will now ensue.
maybe just sleep though, since i'm exhausted.

much love.

sooooo.

hello all.

tonight i am the happiest girl on the planet.
today was a good day.

i:
spent the morning doing not much of anything.
i finally got in the shower and got ready to go to ASDA to get some KD-making supplies.
my hair turned out awesome today, i love my hair straightener, and god bless my awesome mother.
so yes.
i went to ASDA with katie and morgan.
and i got supplies to make....KRAFT DINNER!!!
soooo good.
i also bought some new pants.
they were cheap, so you know.

and then tonight i booked my trip to berlin.
april 1st - april 4th.
19-hour bus ride there, 17-hour bus ride home.
(yeah, i don't understand that, cause both are direct.)
and then i have two days and one night in berlin.
staying at a good hostel, close to the bus station and the main attractions.
the brandenburg gate (!!!), the reichstag, tiergarten, the kathe kollwitz museum.
oh, i am so excited.
ESPECIALLY for the kathe kollwitz museum.

but oh my god, berlin.
it's going to be amazing.
katie and i just realized it's going to take us longer to get there than it is to go to canada.
BAH!

anyway, just thought i should say something about that.

my kraft dinner was awesome.
berlin is going to be awesome.

i am a happy girl, home in less than a month.
