Sometimes I feel like a broken record, stuck saying "I miss Wroxton" over and over and over again... It's silly to live in the past so much, I know. I think of Wroxton every day, and I miss it every. day. And it's not like I'm not enjoying life now, because I am. It's just that my time there was probably the best time I have ever had, and even ( Read more... )

This was beautifully written. I feel exactly how you feel, I went to Wroxton last fall. I keep having flashbacks and I'm like I was doing blank blank blank @ this same time last year. I loved the weekend trips as well. I especially loved the themed dinners. Sighhhh there goes the broken record again I miss Wroxton. I didn't even feel like this when I came back in January, the nostalgia is so much worse now during the academic year.

Thank you! It's been two years for me and I still think about it all the time.

I was uploading pictures from a CD onto my netbook, I'm getting ready to scrapbook the long weekend trips (Dublin & Edinburgh), so today I was missing it just a little bit more than usual.

Yeah, when you first get back, you're still on the high and also excited to tell everyone about the trip, so it's still kind of like you're there because you're telling everyone about it. But as the number of months between Wroxton and "now" grows, it just somehow gets harder.

So I took this one professor for Core 2 and Core 4, and he was always pushing Wroxton on his students. He included the schedule in his syllabus. And at the beginning of every single class, he would say, "What would you be doing right now if you were in Wroxton?" Well I took Core 4 last fall. And every time he asked that question, I'd just think "Stop rubbing it in!!!"

God I hated Wroxton.

That's a shame :( I loved it.

What didn't you like about it?

Uhhh the teachers, the weather, the food, the classes... the actual place itself was pretty cool and I enjoyed the trips. But I was pretty miserable there.

That's a shame.

I think we actually got pretty lucky with the weather. For the fall, it was actually pretty clear and sunny much of the time, at least in the first half.

Some classes and teachers were better than others.

Usually when I miss Wroxton I miss the place and the people and the trips. We had a pretty good group I think.

I'm sorry you were miserable. :(
