"Straight Ahead..."

I know that my internship being cut off early is a bad thing but for some reason, it feels like a good thing! I am SO relieved to not have to be worrying about not having something to do or not talking enough or talking too much...I can relax. plus, I am so excited to be able to use my own laptop again and have 24/7 access to wi-fi! :) I can now write blog entries as much as I want, chat to people online...I could do that during my internship, but I was using my host family's internet so I never felt comfortable staying on for a long time you know?oh well. that is in the past now. time to stop writing about the past and people in the past and move on to what is ahead.

My plan is to stay in nottingham through saturday and then on sunday leave for london. I will stay in a hostel in london from july 19 to august 5, which is the day that I fly back to Texas. I will be overnight with my aunt and then the next day, august 6, greyhound it back to Abilene, Texas.

it is funny because I love England and the thought of leaving, of no more rain, pubs, cute accents, history,etc. is so so sad to me. I might cry when I board that 11:40am wednesday August 5, 2009 flight back to DFW. yet at the same time, I am so eager to get back to Abilene, to ACU, to my campus, and see all my friends,hang out, start going to southern hills again, even classes. since I changed my major(all but officially-have to wait until i am there to send in the paperwork) i am very excited about my classes for this fall and I know that this is the major for me. last monday, during the bible study classes, the guy sitting next to me was studying for this test he had that week or something, and he was studying his notes or something, and it almost made me cry! i know, very silly, but it made me miss stuyding and taking notes and going to classes....

today was a good day.I like the hotel I am at and I think that these next few weeks are going to be good ones. 21 days until I leave for Texas...3 weeks. seems so long yet so short at the same time. :) :) life is good, God is good, and I am going to be just fine :)
