My last night in England

So after 6 months of not being able to see my family, I will be seeing them in in less than 48 hours. I am so excited, and yet it is bitter sweet to be leaving my friends and way of living here. I have had a complete blast and learned so much that while I am completely ecstatic to go home, I am feeling the post-Europe depression starting to sink in. The journey I went on, I not only had the opportunity to meet new people and try new things, but I also learned a lot about myself and what I want to do and who I want to be. I learned that it's okay to make a fool out of yourself and to let go. To let go of all those silly fears and ideas that are weighing you down. Live your life and love it. Do what you love and don't you let anyone tell you any different. Feast on your life. Be happy. Smile. Take risks. Try new things. Be adventurous. Don't let the small things ruin that experience. Embrace opportunities and run with those ideas.
Allons-y!

The End of a Semester

So here we are, at the end of things. Here at the end of my time abroad and my time of adventures in England. But this is not the end, not really. My flight home is just another adventure, one which I would eventually have had to make. I just said goodbye to my friends I made in England and it was saddening. I just spent 5 months with them and now I must leave them. I feel like Frodo when he left for the Undying Shores. Mind you there was no crying from either party saying goodbye, but there was sadness. This chapter in my life is coming to an end, and a new chapter is beginning. I don't know what it'll hold, but I expect big things. I expect new and exciting things to come out of it. I hope to come back one day and... Well, I don't know. I don't know what I hope to do, but I want to do something. I feel as if I should have accomplished something by now, but well, I have actually. I have traveled and experienced so much. I have had a fantastic time here in Plymouth. Tomorrow at 7:45 am my bus leaves to take me to London where I will spend 4 days and then I fly home. I get to see the faces of so many people I haven't seen in 6 months.
Allons-y!

Star Trek Premiere.

Oh.My.Gosh. If you would allow me to fangirl for a moment. Last night I wandered over to London and hung out at the Worldwide premiere of Star Trek into Darkness. It was just djhgfkshjdsfjkhdshjkdfshjkdfshjsdkhfksjdhfkjsdhfkjdshfkadslhfjkjsdfh. I met some awesome new people and actually got to see Benedict Cumberbatch who was literally 3 feet away from me. I mean he was okay in pictures but in real life, he's beautiful. I just wow. It was wow and yes, I got a free poster out of it, and I just can't. Here are some pictures I got from it.












All in all it was a fantastic day.
Yes.
Allons-y!
