Happy Easter Everyone! It is Easter afternoon here in jolly ol'England, though the weather is decidedly not Easter-like. It actually snowed this morning, which is, I hear, very unusual. It didn't stick, but still made for a nice effect.
It has taken me so long to update, because I have been very busy. As of my last post I had just started working at a Starbucks here in London. Since then, things have been going full force. I spend two days in class, two days at my agency, and two days at Starbucks. Which, (if you do the math) leaves me one day free. I always feel like I have to pack everything in that one day--appreciating that I live in London, and trying to do London-esq things. Thankfully I am now on Spring Break and have a few weeks off to relax and get caught up.
I started my Spring Break off with a few days in Paris. I finally made it to France, the country whose language I learned for so long. I have to say that while I have done a disservice to all my French teachers for forgetting too much, Paris was absolutely beautiful. We've all seen the Eiffel Tower photographed and in movies so much, but it is brilliant in person. I also saw the main sites (Arc De Triomphe, Champs-Elysées, Louvre, etc), had dinner in Montmartre (where Amélie was filmed and the home of Sacre-Coeur), and did a little shopping.
I am now in the "homework" portion of my break, and I have much to do in the next seven days. Some papers to write, interviews to transcribe, and research to do. My reward will be a trip to Brussels and a visit to Scotland to visit Elaine. Whee!
Other than that not much is going on. I am enjoying meeting new people at Starbucks--I work with people from Poland, Slovokia, Hungary, Japan, Korea, Philippines, and France. (Oh, and even one person from England). I have a lot of fun with them, and hearing about their countries is great.
That's all I have for now. I'll let you know how Brussels and Scotland are, and how much homework I finished! Wish me luck on that front.
I always want to thank everyone for being part of my Virtual Birthday Party. I know it was a month ago, but it was a great party!
As always, I miss you.
