Reading to the End

Well it's hard to believe that my last week in England is almost up, but here we are. In the last week I've been to York, hung out with friends, been to a couple movies, and traveled back to Reading.

First off York was beautiful! I had such a good time there, although I was somewhat tired and hungry for the majority of the trip. I went to the York Minster which is a must if you make it to York. I then walked around the city before going to the York Castle Museum. Was good fun. On the way back on the train, I had a great time chatting with a family that lives in Missouri and was traveling around. It was nice to talk to some Americans. I finished off my week in Darwen with Liv, I had such a great time with her, we just chatted up the nights and caught up! I had so much fun with her.

Friday I headed to Reading, I was so excited to see both Claire and Victoria coming up the stairs at the train station! Friday the three of us had some dinner then met up with other Met students that were celebrating the submission of their Thesis. Good times! The weekend was also quite fun, slept in went to a BBQ, shopped...went to a free concert, and just hung out with friends.

Monday I had lunch with Ross Reynolds who was the organizer for the OU/Reading exchange on the Reading side...and then just walked around the University of Reading campus, brought back old memories. And like usual it didn't feel like I had been away for 4 years. It's insane!

I leave in the morning for the US, I'm excited to go home, but I'm not excited to leave England! Two different feelings...I'll be sad, but having my normal life things and not living out of a suit case will be nice...however I will still be living out of a suit case for another couple weeks or so. Miranda is picking me up from the airport in Raleigh, hopefully everything will be on time. Then Friday morning I will again head off on a train back to Washington DC. (I fly into there from England), where I will spend the weekend with my friend Amy. I'm looking forward to that, and it's hard to belive that being in DC for the weekend is just 48 hours away.

So next time I write I will be writing from the US! Hope I will be seeing some of my readers soon! Much love!!
