Sleep Deprivation

Hello from back in my own house in my own room, sitting on my own bed....okay so I'm in the computer room, but none of you would have known unless I had said something.

Anyway, I'm home, I'm tired and very very very jet lagged... but it's all good. I start work next week and this week I'm going to try to get things into a rhythm that I can handle. No more getting up at four am and not being able to sleep any longer...

Umm.... Let's see....

Well I didn't tell you guys about the other half of my Spring Break, did I?

London was fun. I got to see lots of things from Westminster Abby to the Buckingham Palace and Hyde Park....of course I saw the London Eye as well and on Thursday I went to Stonehenge....which really is just a pile of rocks. The most spectacular part about Stonehenge is the fact that there is so much mystery surrounding it but other than that and the Druid I met there, it wasn't very exciting. I don't regret going though. I had to know for myself what it was like and now I can say that I have.

Friday I went to Manchester to meet Wendy, Paul, Lucy and Zoe. They're an amazing family that totally took me in and showed me a great time even though we only knew eachother through Deb and Tony who know Wendy's brother who lives in the states. We went all the way to Hadrian's wall on Saturday with a picnic lunch and everything. I was not expecting that and it was a wonderful break from feeling a little cut off from family. Sunday was Easter and they got me an Easter basket. I was so surprised and happy that I about cried.  I think I might have if I were any less awake at that point, but who knows.

So if you're reading this Zoe and/or Lucy, tell your parents that I had a wonderful time and that you have to come visit so I can return the favor. I wish you two the best of luck in your sports and I hope we stay in touch.

After Spring Break were some final exams to finish up and I got my grades by Thursday. Everything went wonderfully and I passed all of my classes. So now that my first year of college is over I'm looking back and wondering where all the time went.....
Was it supposed to fly by like that?

Well, to those of you who still have exams this week i wish you luck and I hope you do well. Then I hope you travel safely back home or wherever it may be that you are heading out of the dorms.... I'll be working, trying to pay for gas and save for books for next semester but it should hopefully all work out in the end.

Blessed be all!
