City Lights and Traffic Sounds: FINALLY AN UPDATE!

I apologize for the very long wait. I know I haven't made an update in a very long time but here you are! It's going to be filled with a lot of fun adventures I have had so you guys are hopefully going to enjoy it!

School has been fantastic! Studying in a castle and also calling it home is something I haven't got use to. Just, when can you ever call a castle home? Like never! Unless your home was literally a castle then....Anyways, my courses are going well. I have written papers and had stress points but everything is just peachy. I have used the washing machine and it hasn't blown up yet so that's good. I have a really nice group of friends that are fantastic. They are crazy, "geeky" people just like me. They "fan-girl" over musicals, music, TV Shows, kittens, cute small animals. We are all a wonderful group of people. Here are some of my lovely ladies.

Unfortunately, the location where we are staying is more or less in the middle of no where. The closest place to Herstmonceux, the location where I am staying, is about a 30 minute drive. I'm used to it because back at home I lived on the country side and if we wanted to go somewhere or go shopping we had to drive so... On "campus" we have bunnies, peacocks, bunnies and cows. We also have ducks and Canadian geese who chill out and look adorable. I have gone to many places so far. Mostly London because that's where I go for my field studies but not all of them. Some times we go to different countries. Recently I came back from a midterm trip of Edinburgh, Scotland and Liverpool, England. I had so much fun and again, I didn't want to leave. Scotland was gorgeous and I wanted to stay. One of my favourite places I went to was Liverpool. Why? It's because I went to The Cavern where The Beatles played. It was fantastic. There is live music playing all day long and I was in there for hours. It was so much fun and I don't I have ever been that happy in a while.

Other places that I have been to is Bergues, France and Bruges, Belgium which were both gorgeous places. I actually got to use my French! Crazy right? There was so much nature it was really nice to see that. Everything was so green and all the buildings are so old and really pretty. You can feel the history in every buildings. I have also went to Whales for a weekend and that very nice indeed. I went zip lining for the first time and I wanted to go again and again. I was surprised at how much fun it was. The scenery was lovely; rolling hills and mountains. Sheep roaming the hills and fog chilling near the surface of the ground. Everywhere I have gone to is pretty much stunning.

I do miss home though.

I miss home cooked meals. Eating vegetables to be quiet honest. I miss having a smoothy in the morning. Hearing CBC Radio in the morning. Seeing my dog being excited when I come in the door. Watching the sun set in the evening. Smelling garlic, onions and butter frying in the frying pan. Coming home to a house smelling like fresh baked goods. Yeah. Home is a wonderful place. I do love Great Britain but it is nice to think that I will be coming home for Christmas. I miss my family and can't wait to see them and tell them about my adventure. Here some pictures of places I have gone to.
