Now I distinctly remember saying that I would not wait that long before I wrote another entry and here we are about 9 days later, finally updating. It will probably be a shorter blog too. Oops, but I'm not sure what to write about sometimes. Classes have been going well. Both my lit classes are good and I like to think I know what I'm talking about when I speak up and my tutor for my American lit class said I was doing well with the work so I hope she wasn't just being nice and was telling the truth. I had a presentation for my film and femininity class. I also like to think that went well, but my tutor will be the judge and I won't know until March 23, so yeah, not a long wait right? =/
I have a world cinema paper due a week from today and let me tell you, I have never been so lost and confused. I checked out a few books yesterday, but I also have to watch some movies before I start and I might have a hard time understanding the concepts of those. But C for credit right!?! I just feel like I'll be graded too hard, but that's my fault for staying in the class.
OHHHH big news! Erika and Fish were going to Ireland the first week of spring break and told us we can join them, so we jumped on that and Kels, Louise, and I are all going with them for the first 5 nights!! I have to miss my Friday class =/ which kinda upsets me because I love it! But I'll deal with it! And because we're going to see the Cliffs of Moher, I get to see where the Cliffs of Insanity scenes were filmed in The Princess Bride! ahhh I'm so excited! Also, my parents booked their flights here and I will end up meeting them in Paris and then they will come back to Cheltenham for a few nights! I'm so excited to show this place off!
Besides that, I'm not sure what else is going on. Of course I am now 100% attached to this place and I do not want to leave at all, whatsoever. But I also know that I can't hold onto this forever because even if I were to stay or even come back, nothing will ever be the same. And as much as that hurts, I also think it could be for the best. Being here is a like a dream come true with everything that is happening or has happened. I think that dream has to end sometime and I will get thrown back into real life and as much as I hate to see that, I know that I will be smarter and wiser when it comes to everything else with my life after this. I am becoming a better person and I am enjoying life to it's fullest here and just because I'm going back home doesn't mean that has to end. We get one life and I am fortunate enough to be able to say I lived in England for 5 months. I discovered the world, but I also discovered myself. In the short one and half months I have been here, I'm realizing the parts of me that I like and the parts I can leave behind here. I will be forever thankful for this place and all that is has taught me. I cannot wait to tell everyone else what kind of experience I had here and I hope to encourage them to study here as well. Life is better because I came here and I can't imagine never taking that crazy step of emailing Prof. Rohrer at 2 in the morning asking if it were too late to come here. This was meant to happen.
