Coming Home Soon

Hey all,
Sorry I haven't written in a while I've been ridiculously busy!! All of my school work is due in the next 3 weeks so I'm basically in crunch time. This would be a study break for me. Nothing to much happening here. I was supposed to travel to Italy last week but decided against it at the last minute. But no worries I will be going again in January when I get back from home. I am so happy to be almost home though. I miss you all soooo much it's been a long two months I don't think I've ever gone this long without seeing you all, actually I know I've never gone this long. But I guess it just makes you understand the importance of family and home a little bit more. Not that I didn't appreciate to begin with but still. Though I still am really really happy I'm staying here for the year I think I would have been so unhappy to just be here for a semester because I really am finally getting used to being on my own and figuring stuff out for myself which I think is amazing. I'm so happy I've done this though I really feel like I've grown so much since I've been here. I'm finally starting to come out of my shell and now I go up to people and meet them instead of waiting to be invited into a group. So I am very proud of myself for that. Also just being able to live on my own and with 5 other girls. Shockingly enough we have had no big problems we all have been really chill and relaxed which again with 6 girls all together is really suprising. I'm really excited for the people I've met over here they are so interesting and it's fun sharing cultures. I've decided it's one of my favorite things about traveling all the people who want to tell you about where they come from and are curious about where I come from. Even saying I'm an American doesn't actually turn them off so that's good. Though people here do love their american jokes, but all in good fun and most of them honestly I laugh at so I guess it's not that bad. It will be hard when I go back home in July, to leave everyone here but I guess their are ways to keep in touch and I have every intention of keeping in touch. Well study break over but I can't wait to see everyone when I get back I miss you all so much it's ridiculous. Love you all!!

Trips

Hey everyone,
I'm writing this now because I've been so busy I just haven't had a chance. But basically I'm writing about both my London trip and my Paris trip. I must say I was so impressed by London I absolutely loved it!! I found this one street that was filled with old books and records. Basically I was in heaven and didn't want to leave but as I was on a school trip I was required to leave it for later. But the city itself was just amazing every where you look are old buildings that have some amazing significance in history. In Paris though which is where I spent 4 days last week I wasn't that impressed honestly. I loved it alot more when I went in April a couple years ago. I think that the problem was that it rained the entire time that we were there which was no fun and on top of that I was really homesick. I will admit it for the first time I truly have been ridiculously homesick. I miss all of you so much!! But there was a couple good things that I loved in Paris, one was on the second day that we were there the girl that I went with and I decided to take crazy photos in front of the Eiffel Tower. They were hilarious basically we were doing cart wheels and hand stands. People must have thought we were insane but it was one of those instances where the rest of the worlds prejudice against Americans came in handy. People were just like ok there Americans they definitely were going to be crazy!! But who cares that was just so much fun. Then the entire time we were there I'm pretty sure I ate my weight in crepes and Nutella because they were amazing. I would like to go back to Paris when I'm in a better mood because I really loved the city last time so I think I still would. Although I did get lost on the metro in Paris. That was a riot as I had to get to my bus to get to the airport to get to my flight on time. I almost missed my flight it was not good, and on top of that I had people actually asking me if I knew the directions to where ever. I'm just like ok I know I speak english and so do you but I promise you I don't know where I'm going right now. But in about two weeks I'm leaving for Italy for 4 days again. I can't wait it's going to be a blast!! Hopefully by then I will be out of my little homesickness thing and be ready to go. I hope your all doing good and I wish I had more to report but besides me being so tired I don't have much else to say. I hope your all doing good and I miss you all soooo much.
