Well....my time in London is coming to an end. Sorry I haven't kept up very well recently.
The Lake District was fun, we did some hiking, it definitely looked nothing like England but was gorgeous. Brittany and I had alot of fun and ran nonstop from the time I got back until the time she had to be back at the train station to leave. lol And yet, we still didn't manage to accomplish at least half of the things on our list. Unfortunate. Paris was great. I saw so much in the 2 short days we were there!
Today was our last field trip and at this time next Tuesday I'll be on a plane headed home. The time went by slowly and yet quickly at the same time. I'll miss Europe and I'm sad I haven't managed to do and see everything I wanted to, but I'm not too worried because I know I'll be back one day. As crazy as it sounds, I'm ready for the 100 degree weather of Texas. This just hasn't seemed like summer. I'm doing my last minute things and seeing what I can and the things I know might not be here whenever I get around to coming back.
Yesterday I went to the British Museum and saw the Rosetta Stone and a bunch of the other stuff they have there. I went originally on a mission to take my extra credit picture and see the Rosetta Stone, but I made the mistake of starting to wander so I got tired and came back and napped instead of going anywhere else. Today after our field trip I went to the National Gallery to do another extra credit assignment and the National Portrait Gallery to see the portrait of Jane Austen they have there. After that I just wandered around in some souvenir shops and second hand bookstores then came back and worked on a bit of homework until dinner, and now I'm working at it some more for the rest of the night probably.
Tomorrow I'm not really sure what's going to be on my agenda yet. I'll figure that out either later or in the morning. lol
