This is possibly the shortest time it has taken me to write 2 posts consecutively!! If it wasn't for the fact that it's out of total procrastination I'd actually be impressed!
There is now only 2 days before I leave for France and Italy, and 11days till I see my parents again. I'm so excited, I actually cannot wait to see them. It really is strange coming home each night and not being able to talk to your family, It's great having flat mates, but there is only so much they can offer.
There is not much to say, as I wrote not so long ago. Except the weather has been amazing!!! 20 degrees and sunny, although I found it so strange that everyone here thinks that it's appropriate weather it sun-bake and have BBQ's. All I hear, as I'm trying so hard to write an essay, are the screams of the girls on the grass in front of my flat as the guys throw the ball at them 'accidentally', and then male laughter to follow. It's times like these where I compare my experience of exchange to one of my friends who just came home from Texas. I wonder what it was like in warm weather, so much more to do, always wanting to be outside instead of being cooped up in your room because you might loose a toe from frost bite if you venture outdoors. I can't lie, I love Scotland, but I wouldn't complain if it was just a tad warmer.
I cannot believe how fast everything has been going lately. I remember when I was booking the flights to Paris 4 weeks ago, getting excited, booking hostels, and now, in only 2 days, I shall be there. It's crazy, it really puts into perspective how short a time I actually have here. I've nearly been away 3 months now, which means there's only 4moths to go. In some ways I can't wait to go home, see my family and friends, catch up on all that I've missed, but I would love to stay here too. I have decided that the best option is for everyone to just move here, that way I get both! :) But seriously, after all I've seen and done, I know I'm going to find it so difficult to go back to everyday life at home in little old Vermont.
And as cold and rainy as it is here, I don't think I'd trade this experience for the world.
Don't worry Alice, it was quite the same in warm weather too! It was just too darn hot to be outside, so we had fun inside haha.
