I hate goodbyes...

Today is kind of a sad day...it's the last day ever in Woodland Court. I thought it would be easy to say goodbye to my friends, but I'm finding it harder than expected. I already had to say bye to Monica and I may have cried a little (It's okay to be sad right)?

Last night we had a "last night" dinner at Hache, our fave burger place. It was just kind of bittersweet knowing that in the morning everyone would be going their seperate ways. I tried not to think about it though because that would have brought the mood down.

At Hache I ordered the Honey Moutard chicken burger with a side of sweet potato fries and of course it was incredible. I just don't understand how it is possible to make chicken and steak burgers so fricken juicy and delish!! It was pretty funny when the waitress brought out the sweet potato fries because the guys at the table next to us (who had been trying to make awkward convos all evening) were like "What are those!? Are they spicy?!" It was like they had never seen a sweet potato fry before...I could tell they wanted to ask if they could try one but I gave them the stink eye and they backed off :)

After dinner, we just headed back to the flat to hang out and drank some of Monica's Scottish whisky-she bought it in Scotland and it was so incredibly tasty compared to the stuff in the states! It was a pretty chill night since a lot of people had to wake up early to catch flights this morning.

I woke up bright and early this morning as I couldn't sleep and was not looking forward to a day of goodbyes...I will be okay, it's just tough getting used to new friends and a new environment and then having to say goodbye to everything. Today is my last day in good ole Woodland Court so I will probably repack all my suitcases since they seem a little heavy, and then head out to do some of my most favorite things.

Tomorrow I have some pretty special visitors coming and cannot wait! :) We will be travelling around the UK until March 22nd and then I will be officially coming home...I am actually getting kind of excited to head back and readjust...and see all my lovlies back in the U.S.

Also, just wanted to let you all know how much you mean to me and how appreciative I am of the support you have given me through this entire 10 week excursion...I am so lucky to have the best family and friends and without you all I never would have made it through this adventure. Thinking about all the people affected by the quake in Japan really makes me think about how important it is to tell the people in your lives how much they mean to you...sorry I don't mean to get all emotional, but I just have a lot of stuff running through my mind right now...plus it is cloudy which just adds to the emotion...

"Goodbyes are not forever, goodbyes are not the end. They simply mean I'll miss you untill we meet again."


Well I must get going as I have a few last minute things to do around here before heading out for the afternoon.

Love you all and I will be seeing you so incredibly soon!!! 10 days!!! :)
