December! Hello!

December seems to have crept up on me and has definitely taken me by surprise. Just a week ago I was thinking I had infinite amounts of time left in London. I realized today that I can look at the 10 day weather forecast and see what the weather will be like in Dallas when I arrive. Strange? Yes, a little bit, but it made me excited to be home. I have enjoyed my time here in London and definitely have had some of the most amazing experiences of my life, but there comes a time when homesickness sets in and its just time to go home. I think I've reached that point and it also helps that this coming week is full of exams because that will help me feel so relieved when I go home. It will feel as if the weight of the world has been lifted off of my shoulders and I can finally walk again shoulders down with a stressless stride in my step.

I'm ready to be home for so many reasons. Let me list them for you.

1) I get to shave my legs (that's right, I haven't shaved them since I've been here. so hot.)
2) relaxing. Really, just spending time doing nothing where I feel 100% comfortable
3) the nature preserve, I am planning on walking Chewy every day if I can.
4) my friends. I really truly value my friendships in Dallas
5) mexican food
6) no more upset stomachs from greasy carby food.
7) snuggling with the dogs
8) seeing my mom and dad every day and seeing my brother at least once a week (most likely more) and being with my sister for an entire week
9) pete's and benedicts. I MISS BREAKFAST FOOD SO MUCH
10) my own bed, pillows, and fleece blanket
11) driving, i haven't driven a car in over 3 months. if you know me, you know how difficult of a task that is.
12) I'm sure there's more, but I can't think of them right now.

I'm currently writing my 3rd paper and I'm about halfway through. I was expecting to have to spend all night working on it, but somehow when I'm writing about something I am passionate about it makes the assignment so much easier. Thank you, gender studies.


I'm going to see Peter Pan at the O2 center tomorrow. Should be AMAZING. I cannot wait! I will definitely live up my last few days here and they will be fun for sure. I may not have a last night of drunkenness or a last night of crazy times, but I will enjoy myself and I will spend it with my amazing friends that I've made here.

Sometimes life is a conundrum.



Cheers!
