OH MY GOD YOU GUYS. I JUST WON A CONTEST FOR A TWO-WEEK TRIP TO ENGLAND OVER THE SUMMER, I KID YOU NOT. *SPLODE*

Okay, okay, so here's how it all went down -- there was this essay contest that the British-American Business Council put up that my school system sponsored, specifically for juniors. All you had to do was write an essay about which

OMG THAT'S SO AWESOME!!!!! YOU WIN!!!!

I totally want to hear all the details of this trip! I want to go back to England so badly... very jealous. What dates are you going? Also... sometimes tours do this... check to see if you're going to be in London for the Trooping of the Colour. It's the Queen's birthday celebration (though not on her birthday) and they have massive parades and A BAND MOUNTED ON HORSES. Go if you can. You'll get to see the Queen, she'll ride by in a carrage. I hope you have an awesome time, that's so cool!!

Hee, thank you so much! *dances*

Oh, trust me, you all are gonna get spammed with updates as this trip approaches. And apparently we're supposed to keep a travel log as part of the trip, and it can be as part of a blog.... :D

This'll be over the summer for two weeks, late June to early July. I don't know what goes on in England at that time, but it should totally be awesome!

Wooohoowo way to go Novel buddy!!! I am so excited for you! *Squee*

You'll have to get me a keychain or something cute to add to my charm bracelet you made me so I can channel the awesomeness that is your writing. ;)

*hugs you* Thank you, dear! I will totally get you a souvenir when I'm there. :P I'm thrilled about this!

[layrenelement]

Yay!!!!! You better take lots and lots of pictures! :D

[starfoozle]

Oh, you can count on that. I'm saving up for an awesome manual-focus digital camera (yes, I'm becoming quite the photo buff) specifically so I can spam you guys with the impending awesomeness. :D

I AM SO FREAKING PROUD OF YOU!!!

See, writing can get you anywhere! :D Especially when you have so much potential!

[starfoozle]

*beams* Well, thank you! *hug*

This is partially your fault, you know, being my writing mentor and all, and convincing me that English was kind of an awesome thing to persue. :P

[starfoozle]

Whoo, thank you! *endlessly excited*

Oh, trust me, you guys will be getting more details than you can shake a stick at as the trip approaches. After all, while we're on it, we're supposed to keep a blog... *grins* there seems to be some damn cool stuff on the sketched-out itenerary, including an acting class at Shakespeare's Globe, a West End show, a field trip through the Chunnel, a dozen different museums and more. I absolutely can't wait!
