Finally free time

Since I have been home from Europe I have not had much free time, therefore there is a lot to talk about. Between two jobs I work A LOT. There are many days I only work at one job but a lot where I go from one job right to the next. Then I want to go out so I am barely at home. Its definately catching up with me when there is things I need to do and no time to do it. Only 2 1/2 more weeks of work here at home and then its back to Oxford I go.

The 21st Birthday was a couple weeks ago. I was worried what it might be like here at home instead of being at school to go up to the bars. Luckily I had my friends here to help celebrate and they did a great job. One out of two best friends was here ( miss you alli!) and between bfac friends and other misc. friends it was one fun birthday. From going out the night before at midnight, chilling at the irish pub on my birthday to going downtown friday night where I was so hungover the next day I couldnt go to work and didnt eat anything until 4 in the afternoon. Thanks to everyone who made it so great.

Anways, things are going pretty well right now. Im kinda in an in between stage right now. I have my older friends who are in the jobs world and then I have all my college friends. Its called I still am having fun but no I am closer to getting out there in the work world. I would also like to hopefully meet someone this year. Im just tryingt to go with the flow but it would be nice to meet someone or get set up and go on a date. Im trying to put the past behind me and move on. Those are just some of the current thoughts at the moment. Hopefully I can keep up with writing.

The end of the weekend

As the weekend comes to an end, I no longer will have another weekend here in London. This is the final week and I think I am ready to go home. It was hot all weekend, I got to lay out which was so nice. its finally feeling like summer. This weekend was nice and relaxing. Went around London a bit yesterday afternoon and last night a bunch of us went to a club called Zoo Bar. Definately spent way too much money. Oh well, it was the last night to really go out and have fun here. It was hot again today and I spent the whole afternoon outside. I was by myself and it was so nice to just relax and not have to deal with anyone. A few of us laid outside again in the evening for like 2 and 1/2 hours. I love being outside in the summer and I love eating ice cream! The weekend is over and I am exausted. Thats what the sun will do to you.

Our presentation is getting very close and Im really excited to present all our hard work to everyone and see what the other two teams have done. Its been a lot of work and there have been good times and bad but it will all be worth it in the end.

Different Emotions

As it heads towards the weekend, I feel like I have a million thoughts running through my head. This week hasnt been too bad with the project, we are on a good track I must say. I have a little over a week here and while I love being here I am ready to go home. There is so much I miss and I am excited to get back to all that. I miss all my friends who are always there for me and and I know I can count on. I have made some cool friends here but they are nothing like my friends at home or Miami. Here I feel like a follower and I always have to find someone to do something instead of them finding me. That is why I am ready to go home and be with all my wonderful friends. I know this sounds silly but I miss working out. Exercising makes me feel good about myself and here we work so much that either there is no time to work out or I just am too tired to work out. We sit on our asses, work and eat. Its pretty sad. So I am not homesick, I just miss what is normal to me.

I am excited that our project is winding down. It will be such a good feeling to be done and I know everyone else will feel the same way. There is one more weekend here and I plan on making the most of it. London is a really cool place to be and I hope everyone gets the chance to go visit someday.

Lazy Sunday

Well today has been a pretty lazy day after last night. We will just say it was another crazy night at Oneill's. Me and a few of the girls went out to eat at a pub called the Porcupine. We decided to go to another pub before heading out to a club. We went to a place called the Brewmaster. We met a bunch of kids that are from different colleges interning here. We ended up at Oneills again even though I would have rather gone to a different club. Nothing like being out till 3 am in London. There are so many people out and about at that hour, its crazy.

Therefore, today I am pretty tired. I wish that we could have one nice afternoon where the sun was shining. I didnt feel like being touristy so it was just one of those days where you just want to lay around and do nothing. Uploading pictures, listening to music and reading make up a wonderful lazy sunday afternoon. I guess we all just need our alone time sometimes. I have 2 more weeks here in London and I definately will be ready to go home. It is such an experience, especially living in a city. Going from Beachwood to Oxford, I have never experienced the city life. I definately love and whether I want to live in a city when I am older I am just not sure. But I just miss what is normal to me. I think it is safe to say that we all think that way every once in a while. But for now, I am enjoying this experience of a lifetime I am having.

The Start of it All

Well here I am, already been in London for 4 weeks, 2 more to go and I decided to start writing this blog thanks to a couple friends of mine :) Today has been a crazy day. I got up early to go to a parade for the Queens Birthday. I got to see the Queen, Prince Charles and Prince William. PRINCE WILLIAM! how cool. After that I met up with Alex and started showing him around London. We ate at Wagamamas and got some Hagaan Daas. Now Im here starting this blog because I was hooked. My birthday is one month from today. One month from today I will finally be 21. doesnt matter much when Im over here because I am legal here. Well Im pretty tired so this will be short. Just wanted to start it off. Looking forward to a fun night ahead!
