Homeward Bound!

Today is the day that I begin my travels home. Wow. It has actually been 4 months.. It has flown by in what feels like weeks! With the Volcano scares and anticipation of leaving it has not been an easy week. I can't think all of you back at home enough for all your kind thoughts. Our flight is scheduled and I will be home tomorrow night around 8 pm.

Yesterday Lindsey and I layed in the park for most of the day. This was one of the best things I have done in London so far. It came at the perfect time because as Karen would say it was a "Full Circle." When we arrived in London the parks were covered in snow and all we could think about was how much fun it was going to be when it was warm. Well, it took 4 months but we got there! The park was packed full of every kind of person you could imagine. There were dogs running around everywhere. It was the perfect place to do the kind of sightseeing and people watching I needed to bring my trip to a close.

London has become like a second home to me. The fact that I will not being taking the tube or walking into 37 Hyde Park Gate again seems like a lie. As we moved out of our tiny room it was shocking to see that there was really no indicator that we had lived there. It left me thinking, or more so hoping that in a way I had left a mark on London. I hope London wont forget me anytime soon because I know that it will always remain with me.

I am sad to leave London but ecstatic to be coming home. La Crosse has never held a more special place in my heart than it does now. I cannot wait to walk up and down Riverside park and eat at Rosies. My friends and family and maybe even an occasional stranger better be ready for some massive hugs when I am back. I am so excited to be able to spread out all of the things I got in London and begin to find places for them within my life at home.

After about 6 days at home I head for Madison. This is when I will be having the time of my life at my last Mifflin with some more of the people I love. I will proudly watch my roommates graduate and set out on their new adventures. My last semester will be a lonely time but because of London I have met some new wonderful people that I know will keep me occupied.

It is summer vacation, did you know? Because I'm pretty sure it hasn't occurred to me yet. I am about to embark on a fairly busy summer with nannying and attempting to find Job shadows and internships. I'm spending my time in La Crosse this summer so look me up when I'm there.

I can't believe its over, but I'm very excited for what is to begin. I love you all and thank you for following my blog while I was away. In a way it made me feel more connected to home and extremely loved.
