Home stretch...

So here we are! I'm home a week from tomorrow. It's amazing how fast these 5 months have gone! On the one hand I'm really sad to leave, because even when I come back to Europe (see how I said when and not if hehe) it won't be like this where I can study a little and travel a lot. The people I've met have been so great and I am so fortunate that I was able to meet them. But I am very very excited to go home and see my family, especially my mom and brothers who I haven't seen in months (sorry Dad, I got to see you in March). I got to see and experience far more than I ever imagined. As soon as I head home I know I'll be bored out of my mind--as my mum reminds me daily-- but I can't wait to work and live in Burlington this summer. I'm so lucky that I got to experience this amazing country and other countries that I would have never otherwise seen. I don't often call myself blessed but I can honestly call myself that now. <3

I AM(STERDAM)... plus utrecht

I am happy to say I have flown my last easyjet flight! While I am sad that the trips I have left are winding down (just Scotland left!!!) I am not the least bit sad to see those tiny planes go. I just got back from Amsterdam and Utrecht with Trish and Erin after visiting the lovely Claire. It was sooo nice to see her again and Amsterdam has been a place that I have always wanted to visit. The city is built around canals which I thought would be beautiful, but I had no idea! I love the fact that boats float ideally down the canals, especially when we were there which had such nice weather. We got to see the Anne Frank house which was truly incredible. Plus Queensday and visiting Utrecht it turned out to be one of the most beautiful places I've seen since I've been here. I can't believe I only have one more trip left, another day trip to London, Leeds Castle, High Tea and maybe something else...but then a final and then home! Nutty.
