They spoil meI can't believe I've left the castle It makes me so so sad. Will reflect more later as am dangerously sleepdeprived and preoccupied with eating chocolate. http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Malta/Malta/blog-389340.html I'm in Moral Issues class right now so can't really type too much ahahaOn the weekend when to London's West End and Soho for a Human Geography field study then stayed at Auntie Catherine's for the night and had a big Sunday lunch at her house.

So In a nutshell left for the Balearic Islands on Friday morning and managed to get back to the Castle in time for the last half of my politics class Just had the most relaxing adventurous weekend of the yearWe burst out of the airport in Palma and spen http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/blog-378558.html AHHH. 7 hours until I have to leave for Mallorca http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/France/Ile-de-France/Paris/blog-377115.html Okay so in 12 hours' time I will be chillaxing in Mallorca. Which is very welldeserved considering the heinous amounts of essaysmidterms I've had to write within the past couple of weeks. But I really shouldn't be complaining seeing as in the middle I got to eat gauffre and laugh at the Manneken Pis and other things during our whirlwind trip to the continent.I lied last term about filling in t http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Belgium/Brussels-Capital-Region/Brussels/blog-377111.html Okay stress of essaywriting has rendered the prospect of any kind of writing absolutely abhorrent. That doesn't even make sense.But anyway we had a cultural studies trip to Oxford and then the next weekend we went to the Kelvedon Cold War Bunker for Philosophy Class.No time to elaborate. Will have photos of Paris and Brussels the next time I update Which will be after my Economics midterm and http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Oxfordshire/Oxford/blog-371320.html These were photos taken during our trip to the London School of Economics to hear a Politics lecture and our Human Geography 101 walking tour of the Docklands and the City of London. I wrote a whole essay about it yay.We ended up not being able to see our politics lecture because a protest group had taken over the building and were holding rallies to free Palestine etc. Very weird thing to be http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Greater-London/London-City/blog-371314.html Sightseeing in London with Melody and Christmas dinner in TB Wells http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Greater-London/London-City/blog-360424.html Hi Here are some of the photos from Berlin.

I woke up horrendously late and had to run http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/France/Nord-Pas-de-Calais/Lille/blog-353940.html YES ALIVE And we only caused one car crash But our involvement in that is debatable at that.So I think I sort of know how to pronounce Szczecin now Shteh'shin Something like that Ahaha.So we cabbed to London Stansted at 2am on Friday morning in order to catch our 6am flight to Poland One of the first things we did was try to find the hostel.
