Final Week @ Winchester!

And it's the final countdown. One more week until I have to repack my suitcase and head out to London where Justin and I will begin our travels! This last week the large group of Americans and myself went to the club on campus dressed in "America" theme. Some people had some pretty awesome red, white, and blue overalls. I wasn't dressed up enough but I still sported USA colors. Everyone seemed pretty sad that it was our last BOP but most people are continuing their travels as well. For others....back to good ole 'Merica. Justin is still skiing and traveling around the French Alps - I couldn't be more jealous but I'm happy that he's having a good time. I think he might have gone crazy if he stayed here any longer (this campus is something like 70% females and 30% males) - Sorry Justin, I didn't make too many guy friends for you to hang out with! And lucky for him he gets to spend a WHOLE MONTH with one, amazing female :) (that's ME!). Let's hope we both make it back alive - kidding. Only positive expectations for this trip. Again as a reminder - we will be starting out in Madrid. I booked a pretty cool hostel for us to stay in (at least it seems that way) and then we will be heading to Segovia to see my friend that lived with my family in high school - Victor. His dad is going to hook us up with a hotel to stay at which is very nice of him! From there...Barcelona, South France, and then it's kind of up in the air. I'm really looking forward to Prague, Berlin, Rome/Venice, and Amsterdam for the second time. Everyone cross your fingers so that the weather will warm up! It's better than the cold of Wisconsin but I really need to be able to wear shorts sometime soon. Plus I am disgustingly white....sun please? Tomorrow (Saturday the 30th) I am going to London with my friends Bri, Rachel, and Becca. We have an appointment at the IceBar - and you can only guess...it's a bar MADE COMPLETELY OF ICE! I will report back about it but I guess they give you a fuzzy cape and gloves to wear.. and with our 16 pound ticket purchase (that's like $24) we get a complimentary drink....in a cup made of ice. How cool! We plan to do some hard core souvenir shopping and hit up Chipotle for dinner . Well I'm clearly just wasting time and not working on my essays. I only have a week to complete 3 essays! Ay. Where has the time gone? I miss my friends and family....can't wait to see you all in May but I do need to experience A LOT more of Europe before I come back :) Cheers.
