My term is over here and though I know, everyone knows, that it's a short time, I didn't realize it was going to be TOO short. My room has the lived-in, disgruntled look of an undignified student room and I'm fairly certain that it is not what I will miss. I will not miss the inevitable smell of garbage in the kitchen or the almost complete lack of security from 10PM-8AM around the flats (unless security is called with a specific complaint of noise or other shenanigans (-- I spelt that right the first time! I'M amazed...)). People tell me there are much better cities than Swansea to be in, more exciting, more going on, just ...more. I think sometimes that it wouldn't have mattered where I'd gone for my exchange. I know that I'd've had ... read more

I got back yesterday morning at 8 am from a week long trip with my Dad through a bit of England and South Wales. Dad had to drive a few more hours from Swansea to London, but I was able to crawl right back into bed. I'd gotten irritatingly sick in the last two days of the trip, with a headache, earache, sore throat, full body muscle soreness, and a slight fever, so I was pretty tired by the end of the trip. That being said, it was a wonderful week. I took the train and met Dad at our hotel in London after navigating through the Underground for the first time.

Mom drove me to the airport, and for once in my life, I was ready to go and packed more than 2 hours before it was time to go. I ran into my friend Will as I was waiting at the gate, which is the only way we see each other. He was on the same flight as me, going to London for a year. The plane left Edmonton just as the sun was going down, and my God, it was spectacular. One of the nicest sunsets I think I've ever seen here. It just goes to show how sad Edmonton was that I was leaving. I had a window seat, which was really nice. There were movies and lots of food and free alcohol to keep me entertained and full, though I spent most of ... read more
