We landed in london yesterday morning around 8:40It took us a while to get to our flat.The hardest part wasn't meneuvering through the airport and to the busses with our luggage with 59 other people not wanting to leave Daniel's side.The hardest part was staying awake on the ride to Notting Hill.Bus/car rides are the only things that make me tired?and we found traffic.I was doing word puzzles, organized p hotos on my laptop..everything and anything to stay awake.When we finally arrived I was completely breathless.Going down a little street with amazing houses sits 11 Palace Court.My home for the next four months.It's so perfect and typical.I was in the basement which worried me a bit until I actually saw it.I walked in the door to my flatt which is very roomy and especially since im ... read more

The day is finally here.After volunteering at the zoo until noon we packed and headed to newark.Second person to check in and 96.5 lbs of luggage. *phew* I JUST made it. I was happy about that one.I checked in and asked Daniel (aka danny boy) where I should go.He was like "uh you can hang out ehre or go through security?w/e"not exactly what I was expecting to here.I guess that's my first feeling of freedom as a college student. ... read more

I was invited to this Exploring Liberty Seminar at Princeton University. It was totally free so i decided to check it out. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would have met the people that I met, and became friends with the people I befriended! I am always nervous entering into something I know nothing about. Then again, who isn't? I walk into my enormously wonderful dorm to find my roomate on her cell phone. I will admit it. The sheer fact that she was a college student intimidated me. The fact that I later realized I was by far the youngest person at the entire seminar...that went far beyond intimidation and straigt to crapping my pants in fear! But we'll get more into that later. The first lecture was a grand welcome to ... read more

So, we've all packed and we're saying good-bye to the house, the beach, the island, the country. Saying good-bye to the crystal blue water, warm plesant nights, fast-speaking natives, and driving on the left side of the road. A week has gone by and we've spent our money on jet-ski's, three times, drinks, ice cream, zip line tours, snorkling, and of course...jewlery. We've all been tan and a little burnt. But we're all going home with a little more color than we came with, some more patience, we're more relzxed, and ahundred more memories. We're ready to go back to our lives, to work, and school, friends and family, and lastly, to the cold. ... read more

Today mom woke us up at like 8:30 so that we could say when everyone was in school in first period we were swimming in the ocean (There's a one hour time difference so it was 7:30 back home) The water was kinda cold...75 degrees maybe ) We came back to the room and had pancakes and watched a movie while our food digested. We jumped in the Yaris and roamed around the island. The original plan was to roam the island and jump into every beach round the island. So i wore a bathing suit and sophie's and flipflops. Well..that turned into climbing a mountain in flip flops with sticker bushes with 2 inch thorns and aloe-vera plants bigger than me. Plus it has just rained so the ground was mushy. I was not a ... read more
