Welp, here goes my last blog. And yes, it is in blue for a reason. The last few days in Cheltenham were busy, stressful, exciting, fun and sad. I tried to cram everything into only a few days, and they were all pretty successful. On the 23rd, the Olympic Torch came through Cheltenham. Me, Sophie and our American friends went to the park for some ice cream at the little shop. Weirdly enough, we had never been there, but it was really good! Then, we found a s...

Unfortunately my time here is almost over, but only as a Uni student. So, what has Lynette been up to for her last month in Cheltenham? (Apologies in advance because this blog is about to be very random) For starters, I am so intrigued by taxi drivers. This semester was the first I'd ever taken a taxi, and let me tell you, I love talking to the drivers! Of course I always get in the front for this specific reason.

I always have said I wished I could have experienced the olden times with no modern technology, or perhaps the life of the Amish? Anyways, there are ...

After writing one blog, you would think that I could keep up every few days - not! Although I only go to class five times in four days, I seem to ALWAYS be busy. Wednesdays are my off days, and this Wednesday I spent cleaning my room top to bottom. I wiped down every wall and anything that I could reach. I then hoovered (vacuumed) and redecorated a bit. I have been ill now for what, five days? And, it's not the typical cold - I couldn't be so lucky. I have the ...
