These are the times to remember...

So, Worcester, England! Damn you for being an awesome place and capturing my heart. When I first started with the idea of going abroad, I was really just doing it to get the heck out of Jersey and because Dana was going to France. I couldn't bare to think of her making all those amazing memories...I wanted some of my own! Going through all the paper work at Willy P was hell, and I did it basically with no help form the school. Once I found out I was going, I was terrified, what had I really signed up for? I am going to go out on a limb and assume most people thought I would get homesick and whats not, I was worried myself. But a month before I left I had a dream ( I strongly believe in what my dreams tell me) I dreamt that I didn't get accepted to the program, I was re leaved, but then disappointed in myself. I was upset that I just let myself be babied and take the easy way and stay at home in my comfort zone, I awoke the next day knowing I had to go!
And looked what happened, I actually liked it! I came here and learned about myself. I met amazing people and some not so amazing people. I got to travel and see beautiful places, But most importantly I think I grew up. When I was home I didn't really have a drive. Here I learned that I want to do so much more. School is only a small part of my life (thanks julie!) And yes, even though I didn't take the conventional route I am just fine, and my way is the right way for me! (Thanks mom,dad, and daney!) Here, in amazing England I learned that I am a confident person, I got better fashion (thanks jesus!) I also have come to understand other people and how to interact with them. I learned how to cook, healthy! I make my own soup using only veggies, and I love my fruit smoothies at night! The friends I have met here are one in a million. Prerna and Kelly are my besties. We have been through a lot! Boys, Girls, School, Drunken night, family drama, they are good girls. By meeting them it only solidifies that I am a good person who can meet good people. I got an insight to other cultures and learned how good it is to have a best guy friend for advice, MICHAEL!!! I can actually go places on my own and not take the quickest way with the least amount of people, and I go out! (Dana is soooo proud!) But I think the most important thing I have learned is that I am capable of anything. I was afraid I would fail and be miserable..but I didn't, on the contrary I am trying find a way to miss my plane!
So this is out last week, seven more days...AHHHH I AM IN DENIAL!! This weekend Kelly and I went to London one last time...we saw Legally Blonde the musical! I never got to see it in the city so this was pretty cool. Before the show we went to Camden, which is mecca for cheap things and barganing. I got soo much stuff! Then we went to Kelly's family friends house, it was a lovely couple who live in fairlawn but the husband got transferred to london for 3 years, they have a flat in the rich part of London, kinda like the upper east side. My room had a view of the London Eye! They were so sweet, we lit the Channukah candles and they made up french toast in the morning! The day of the play we went to oxford street just to walk around, then I had a brilliant idea of getting balck shirts and decorating them for this up comming Wednesday! So we did, one for me, Kelly, and Prerna. You see hear on Wed it is social night at the Uni, where all the sports teams dress up with a certain theme, This week our basketball friends are doing swimmers and lifegaurds. So I decided we would make our own shirts with Sarah Siddons on the front which is the name of our building and on the back our nicknames and 09! Prerna's said Prenny Lane, mine was Jot Jalapeno, and kellys was wastyface! I love us girls.
So this was our last Wednesday out at Bushwackers! The girls and I wore our shits and just had a blast. We hung out with Nathan and Jake from the basketball team, though Jake tended to wonder away Nate stayed with us the whole night...like our own body guard. We just danced our hearts out to all the best music, there was a part when they played Christmas music..not very clubbish. At 3am we decided we would go home, and there were no taxis willing to bargain so we walked home...poor decision. It was freezing! Prerna and I had the brilliant idea of running home, which wasn't that bad. We got exercise and home to hot chocolate faster!
Today is Thursday and my day off. Prerna and I decided to go into town. On our walk in it started snowing!! How perfect is that? We went to Greggs for lunch which is an amazingly cheap sandwhich store, we both got our favorite, TUNA CRUNCH! And then just walked around the town. Tonight we are all going to the Dive to say goodbye to Espen, he leaves in the morning! Ahh this is soo hard to say good bye!
Ok this is the first part of the last blog...I will finish it on Sunday, my last day here!
