I have finally uploaded some pictures from my time in Europe over Christmas break. There are some from Brussels, Paris, Amsterdam and Krakow. I'll try to throw in a few more at the bottom of this post as well just for kicks. (note how healthily I ate in Europe...)
As far as things stand right now, I have taken three of my four exams and my last one is on Friday. After that I am taking the train down to London and then Saturday morning I hop on the big plane back stateside! I have to say that while I know I will miss England I am pretty pretty pretty excited to return home. There's a lot to be said for 220 volts of electricity, the BBC, milky tea, baked beans, the queen, steering on the right, shifting with your left, Cadbury chocolate, disregard of oral hygiene, double deck buses, kebabs and curry, Andy Murray, Colin Firth, Plimsoles, Nottinghamshire, the two pound coin, That Mitchell and Webb Look, Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole, Worthington Creamflow, The Streets, Chavs, black leggings, a massive Cafe Nero, duvets, Fifa, Newkie Browns (not to be confused with Gordon Brown), custard, the tube, steak and ale pie, and Marmite (not really though, that s*** is nasty, it tastes like fermented gerbil excrement). With all that England has going for it, nevertheless...
I'm looking forward to a nice big American sized hamburger or steak and some free refills, watching basketball (disregarding the WNBA of course), calling the toilet the bathroom, ESPN, the conversion rate of one dollar to one dollar, watching Rick Steves, driving my car(assuming my brother hasn't Tiger Woodsed it into a fire hydrant), holding my fork in my right hand, lifting weights in lbs not kgs, not weighing myself in stone, saying "what's up", a 7-11 slurpee, Fahrenheit, Seinfeld, Larry David, following the greatness that is the career of Tim Duncan, watching Charles Barkley on TNT, Budweiser (just kidding, the English have the edge in alcohol), oh...and my family (as long as they're buying dinner).
Well, that's all I've got for now, I still have some studying to do so if ya don't know, now ya know...
