So, I just woke up from a mid-afternoon nap to this beautiful sunset out my window. The sun doesn't shine often here, so the sight is amazing. I am packing up for my first weekend to London. Hopefully I don't forget anything important! I was feeling a little bit homesick for the first time yesterday evening. I think I honestly was just a bit overtired. A good night of sleep and a nap later, I am feeling a lot better about things! Yesterday was highly productive academically as I wrote my first paper and read a few articles for my classes, but it was also very productive in trip planning! I have come up with some good ideas of places where I will be traveling and who with. I have officially booked trips to London, Amsterdam, and to the Lake District. A few other tentative plans so far include Barcelona, Ireland, Kandersteg in Switzerland, France, and Italy! This morning more than anything, I have also begun to see that I truly am starting to develop some good friendships here, and how wonderful so many of the students here are. Everyone is not only friendly, but academic in a sense that they put that before just about everything else, but seem to find a good way to balance that with meeting new people. And now...off to London :)
