(no subject)
okay- it has been a very long time since my last update.
i have been having the time of my life over here. i hate going to my classes but at the same time, i don't mind them, if that makes any sense. i have some hilariously awkward teachers here and then there are some that you love to debate with. then, i have boring ones too. whatever. i love my german class. or... should i say, ich liebe mein Deutsch Klasse. say goot. i can't wait to get to germany. not only can i practice my german, but i get to see my parents again!! it's amazing but i don't miss them as much as i thought i would. i have been keeping myself pretty busy. i went to london (as i already stated), scotland (to inverness and aberdeen- it is GORGEOUS up there in the highlands. and the loch ness lake was AMAZING), stratford-upon-avon (and saw shakespeare's grave. that was incredible), last weekend i went to copenhagen (it was BRILLIANT. i loved it SOOOO much), and today- I AM GOING TO ITALY!!! me, jenny, elizabeth, and tim are flying to pisa then making our way down to rome, naples, pompeii, positano, then back up to florence and tuscany. i cannot wait. i have wanted to go to italy ever since i can remember. and now i'm ACTUALLY going. it's an amazing feeling.
i couldn't imagine being at ecu right now. even though i'd love to be hanging out with my friends there, i really wouldn't want to leave here. i don't love britain as much as i thought i would... it's just the fact that i can go anywhere here. and for EXTREMELY cheap.
this whole experience is already changing me. i have people here that call me on my bullshit- just like my family. maybe that's why i don't miss them as much as i thought i would. i've got people that will call me out and make me realize things about myself that i never would have without this trip. or at least, i never thought other people would notice about me. i now find myself WANTING to censor things that i do and say because i know it looks bad on my part. we all have to censor a little of what we say and do to be able to function appropriately with society. otherwise, we are naive to thinking that we personally know better than anyone else.
i love it here. i really do.
i am going to hate leaving this insane place but, at the same time, it'll be nice to get back to reality for a bit. because this whole trip is STILL so surreal to me.
