The past couple weeks have all seemed to blur together in a swirl. I’m not sure if it’s because I have more of a weekly routine than I did before or because I’ve done so much. Either way, I would greatly appreciate if time would slow down and give me an opportunity to take everything in.
Cait and I have planned a few trips for the up coming months, each will be quite exciting and will undoubtedly yield postcards for numerous parties. CIEE is sponsoring our first trip two weekends from now. We’ll be in Edinburgh, Scotland for the premier weekend in March, which I trust will be green, lovely and still bitterly cold as it is here, although mother nature is extremely deceptive in presentation - you can look out of your window, see sunlight, think to yourself that it’s a marvelously wonderful day, walk outside in a winter coat and regret not putting on about six layers more. I’ve been keeping an eye on temperatures in the states, and although I’m comparatively lucky, the wind is bitter enough to be mentioned nonetheless.
We’ll be given the entire weekend to roam about Edinburgh, so I’ll hopefully have dozens of pictures, etc. On the 13th, Cait and I will be off to Dublin and will be staying until St. Patrick’s Day, when we unfortunately have to leave to return to work the following morning. We plan to partake in the festivities regardless of the hour, though, so our flight and my tube ride home should be quite interesting to say the least.
The middle of April has the promise of Parisian sights and wonderful food with a hint of touristy indulgence and romantic language. I’m rather looking forward to our long weekend in Paris since I have only seen the airport, the train station, and the inside of an unimpressive hotel. I know that the lovely French city has far more to offer me, and I intend on not missing a beat.
Upon the arrival of May, we’ll be jet-setting off to Amsterdam to take in a bit of the Netherlands and once again be immersed in foreign atmosphere. We’re trying to work a trip to Prague into the mix, but coordination is quite difficult since I don’t know when my final exams will be taking place; I only know that over the course of two months, I’ll be in class for two days, so I definitely need to plan an excursion of sorts.
Lately I’ve been taking in the museums; venturing out on tours; spending time with the boys on the Westminster rugby team; and hanging out with my absolutely fabulous Canadian flatmate, Meghan, and a few of her friends, so all in all it’s been quite the February. I’m going up in the London Eye with a CIEE group on Tuesday, I might attend the rugby match on Wednesday, and I have the Jack the Ripper tour on Friday, so this week will unquestionably fly by just as the last few seem to have done. It’s a same that the good times must fly by so quickly.
