Two More Days!

Our flight home from England is in less than 48 hours; it has been a long & crazy two weeks. Lots of drama and lots of new friends, but it has been an emotional week - realizing how much I am still dealing with my breakup from David.

I took this picture at what's left of the old cathedral in Bury St. Edmunds. I feel like it's inspirational and very relevant to my life right now - I feel like I am full of dark and twisty drama right now but I know things are going to get better. Brighter.

Corpus Christi College, Cambridge University

In the last few days we've visited the Parker Library at Corpus Christi College, walked around Canterbury, and visited the white cliffs of Dover where I almost lost my shoes in the English Channel. It's definitely been memorable. As we conclude our first week here, we've made great friends with each other and gotten to meet some very interesting Englishmen. We've spoken with a Chief Magistrate and the head of the police (I can't remember his title) from Cambridge, and the librarian from Cambridge's Parker Library was a very funny and intelligent woman. No to mention all the crazies we've run into at the pubs - when I have more time I will have to write about the man in the cape who "opened" Taylor's mind.

The whole group is going to dinner tonight at a restaurant I can see from my bedroom window called the Cookhouse. Every night I've been enjoying the music they play so we are hoping the food will be good as well.

Got a 10/10 on my first paper - have to write the second one tonight once we get back from dinner.

That's all for now :)

Punting on the River Cam

Brittany solved my camera problem. Expect regular updates/pictures while I am gone.

England

I'm in England! I am having a great time. We went punting on the river Cam and have been to a few pubs around town, as well as a little bit of shopping, a bus tour, and a lot of walking around the town. It is a gorgeous place!

I have taken over 200 pictures but sadly I do not have a phone cord for my camera. I was hoping to post periodic pictures here when I didn't have time to update, but unfortunately that won't be happening! I also managed to break my camera - I dropped it and now the lens won't close. Thankfully it is still taking pictures, though.

I'm in Cambridge for the next week and then we go to London. We have lots of tours and interesting lectures planned so I am really looking forward to the rest of the trip. I've already made some great friends and I am hoping to get to know the rest of the group more, too. Everyone is really nice and we are having a great time!

Equestrian Fact

"If you have it, it is for life. It is a disease for which there is no cure... When I can't ride anymore, I shall still keep horses as long as I can hobble about with a bucket and wheelbarrow. When I can't hobble, I shall roll my wheelchair out to the fence of the field where my horses graze, and watch them." -Monica Dickens
