(no subject)
ok so i know i havent updated in a while, and this isnt gonna be a really good update, so i apologize in advance. the only reason im doing this stupid online thing is for my lovely family. so...
wales...
i really cant put it into words. it was truly beautiful and was the greatest weekend of my life. i did four things i never thought i could do. one, i went on a friggen eight mile hike...up steep muddy mountains, along cliffs! it was breathtaking and painful, but im so glad i did it. if i didnt, i wouldnt have seen some amazing land, played with horsies, bonded with my loves, and seen josh fall off of a giant ball of hay. amazing. two, i went COASTEERING. i thought this would be a little bit of hiking, along with some swimming, and jumping off of cliffs. no way man. it was totally scrambling along the coast of wales, being tossed by crazy waves into rocks, and jumping off 30 foot cliffs. even as i sit here typing about it, i really dont feel like i did it. it was so surreal and scary...i just cant believe that i actually did it. three, i walked a mile in pitch black in order to have a few pints at a crappy pub. the walk there wasnt bad, but the walk back was so friggen frightening. if i didnt have max and alex with me, i dont think i would have been able to keep my sanity. alex kept me laughing with his crazy drunken antics, and max let me cling to him the entire mile back. four, i went surfing! friggen surfing! i didnt really stand up on the board, but i did get up to crouching. it was much harder than i even thought it was gonna be. i mean, i knew it was gonna be hard, but the waves and the wind and the huge board...i had no idea. and u have no idea, unless you actually do it....but no matter how many times i fell off the board and got water up my nose, i kept having such a great time. and it was so great to be doing it with drew and dj. and with josh and max, who are soon becoming my favorites. and with tara, who every time i hang out with her, i like her more and more. so that was wales, in a nutshell. if u want more details, read dj and drews journal. dj tends to update more and drew has a wicked long entry about wales. her lj name is skachick101, and dj's is the one with dj in it....yea.
so tomorrow, we're going to stonehenge! cant wait.
and im about to have pork chops! see we have these friends, natalie and abbie...and they like to cook. i mean, they actually like...to...cook. i know, i dont get it either. but the cook for me and drew lots, and all i have to do is bring the wine!
and now i just want to take this time to let everyone at home know that i miss them. my cousins, my aunts and uncles, my grandparents, my friends from school (esp. mary, val, sarah, jenn, lisa, laura, jami, erin, nick, tim, chris, mary k, fionna and rachel-cuz without her, i would have never gone to adelphi and wouldnt be in london right now), randall, edgenia, AND MY PARENTS. i miss you all so much and wish i had all the money in the world so i could fly you out here to see me.
also, everyone who's here at london with me who reads this...im growing so fond of all of you. and i truly mean that.
the only problem im really having here is the money. everything is expensive, plus the dollar aint doin too well, plus i like shopping. so yea, im gonna come back home with no money. but its so worth it.
that is all for now...i promise to update in...a....well i dunno when im gonna update, but i will. eventually.
