BRB CRYING

Wellp, tomorrow is our next exam and the title says it all. I wrote on our GLS Class of 2015 Facebook wall inviting my classmates to join me in jumping off Tower Bridge tonight before we have to go through this hellish exam. I thought I'd never felt stupider than when we were taking Economics....nope ....nope...this is worse. This Stats class is so hard and we are learning things so quickly and learning a whole new software program that is vital to this information as we go as well. I needed a 4.0 this semester.....oops.....not happening.

Crying in Stats at 9 p.m. with Andrew

Still crying in Stats at 9:01p.m. with Carly

So since I'm on a roll, I'll talk about what I miss about America and what I love about London.

Miss about America: 

1. Not being broke. Our money amounts to nothing here. I've never been so frugal in my life (kinda), but hey this is a blessing in disguise! 

2. Dishwashers, although I had become quite used to this living in Laurel. However, I can't complain because my roommates are fabulous dish-washers. 

3. Living with 30 girls. I MISS LAUREL! Carly and I have been teaching (or yelling) the boys how to PUT THE TOILET SEAT DOWN WHEN THEY USE OUR BATHROOM...we're getting there. 

4. The politeness of the south. You really don't see just how different the south is till you go somewhere else. It's so strange to have people literally knock you sideways with their shoulders as you're passing on the street and not even think about it or turn to say excuse me. The inner bitch is coming out in me, and I'm starting to do the same...oops. 

5. Saying ya'll....yeah that word doesn't work in the British accent.
6. My family and friends. I miss 'em every day!
7. Going to church with Kirby.
8. Having coffee every day...with good creamer.

LOVE about London:
1. Living with 27 people and getting to know them probably better than I'll ever know any other group of 27 people. You really don't know someone until you live with them, and believe me, we are livingggggg together. Today was the first day I've gone somewhere alone. I traveled to Notting Hill neighborhood to my place of work (emc3) for a meeting with my supervisor, Dan. It was quite nice to be alone for a bit and try to navigate the city, but I was so ready to come back to my fam here in Bloomsbury.
2. Taking public transport and walking everywhere. I LOVE being somewhere where I am not constantly in and out of the car. It is so nice and saves so much time. I really love this.
3. Not having access to my iPhone all the time. This free's me up so much to really see and enjoy this city.
4. Being able to have a margarita at a Mexican restaurant and not even be I.D.'d. It's fabulous.
5. Living where I go to school. This makes the mornings so quick and easy.
6. Cooking and eating less crap. I can't afford it, so I don't buy it!
7. Planning trips like a boss. We have successfully planned 2 major trips, one being to Paris this weekend, and I can't wait to see how they turn out!
8. THE ACCENTS...DUH
9. Cobblestone streets
10. Beautiful buildings everywhere. Sometimes you only see the store fronts, and forget to look up. When you do, it's a whole different place. The buildings that house these recognizable businesses we see every day are magnificent.

THE LIST GOES ON!!!

I'll keep adding! Cheers~ xoxo
