wednesday/week 9

So here we are at week 9. I have about three weeks left here in Norwich. It's slowly dawning on me that my time here is limited and now I understand why all the past-EAP students urged us to do a year versus a semester. Just when I've fully adjusted to life here at UEA and made some awesome friends, it's almost time for me to go.

I've been aware of our limited time for awhile now, but I don't think it hit me until earlier tonight when Phil mentioned how Flat 3 wanted to go to LaserQuest because Rachael was also leaving and he said he wanted all of us to go so that he could say goodbye to me, Caitlin, and Bonnie. I guess all good things must come to an end, cheesy as that sounds.

Honestly, I'm so happy I decided to study abroad. Today, as I sat around in my seminar for New Media and Society I listened and realized how different it is going to be to go back to a school where people don't speak with British accents! I've strangely become accustomed to hearing them...although I will admit there are times when I don't understand what people are saying because they roll all their words and I just stupidly nod and smile. Haha!

As we're now in week 9, I really need to start getting down to business! But first, my last weekend adventure...I'm visiting Miranda this weekend in Paris! I'm so excited!
