In just four more days it will be Dad's turn to visit the shining city of London...oh yeah & me, his daughter. (: I've been on Skype with him over the past few days making sure he will pack the right kind of clothes & that we have the itinerary of activities & sites that he wants to see & do. He's really excited, as am I! Another opportunity to show my family my new city! I am jealous that he's going to Huddersfield for the day while he's here. Huddersfield is where my grandfather [Dad's Dad] was born. I wish I could go, too.
Over the past few days Tammy & I have really gotten to see more of "our park" & realized how silly we've been to wait 2 months to really see Regent's Park! Friday afternoon we took the soccer ball from Reid Hall & played in the park for half an hour! And today? We laid in the sunshine for an hour listening to the sounds of Spring: kids playing soccer, families out for a Sunday picnic. It was b-e-a-utiful! (:
I was looking at my calendar this morning and realized that I will be home in [*Tammy! Close your eyes!*] 42 days! That's such a huge difference from 109 days! I can't believe it! What have I done in the last 67 days?! I know that I've seen so many of London's sites & I've gotten to show Mom & Michael around & I've gotten to Dublin again! But still...it feels like I've barely done anything here. I know that the next 6 weeks are going to fly by and I just want to go home knowing that I made the most of my semester here. [I know, Tammy, it's what you keep telling me!] (: But it's true, I don't want to look back years from now wondering if I made the most of my time. I want to go through my memories & now that I had the best time ever here! Of course, I could say that already about my 67 days here so far...so I must be doing something right. (:
