The Blog

Well, since this is my last full Friday living in London it seemed like a good moment to pause and reflect a bit. I must admit though everytime i think about leaving this experience behind me I tear up. Honestly. I don't tend to be a "tear-up" kind of gal, but in this situation I find that I am. So, at least you the reader will be unaware of my tears and I can pretend they did not happen.
Last night I went and walked along the South Bank. The South Bank is basically the other side of the Thames river and it has pretty lights and the London Eye, a view of Big Ben and it's terribly romantic. From where I live i have to get on the tube and then walk across a bridge to get to it. It was so beautiful out last night. I wasn't shivering from the cold or being dampened by the rain. The sky had a bit of a cloudy haze over it making the moon seem very mysterious. I was trying to listen to all the British music I had on my MP3 player to truly highten the experience. Somtimes I took out my earphones and just allowed the sounds of the area to be my music. I wish you could just have been there because I really can't explain the moment. It just made me realize how much I really am going to miss being here. How lucky I have been to be here.
Gosh all my entries as of late have been rather depressing...I do apologize. I just get sad when i think about leaving. Everything is going quite well though. The weather is starting to get a bit warmer here which can only mean one thing in a city like London....TOURISTS! Now, I hate to think that I have become some stuck-up Londoner because that is barely possibly to attain in the span of four months time, but I really find myself being highly annoyed at tourists. They travel in large groups of about 8 to sometimes 502 people and consist of at least 2 very unhappy children, five strollers, and 1 person who cannot keep up the speed (i have refrained from labeling this person 'old'). The pavement is just not big enough I tell you. I like the idea that the city transports them around in topless buses because it keeps them off the pavement...I think this idea must have come from a stuck up Londoner.

Alright, well it looks like the sun is out, so i must go and enjoy it while i can.
