As the date quickly approaches school becomes harder and harder.
Everything has been a count down: a count down till my next vacation, a
count down until I can be in London again, a count down until I get get to
see my cousins, aunt, and uncle again, and a count down to the
comforting atmosphere of airports that I sometimes feel I have grown up in. I am not
one to over plan for something but I have gone through packing, arriving
in London, checking in, re-packing, going to the Eurostar, repacking and
getting back on a plane over and over again in my mind. Everything is a list; a
list I go over again and again. Unfortunately I'm one to pack at the
last minute, but as April draws closer I find myself buying clothes
and shoes that I know will be good articles for our trip.
London
is one of those places that gets better every time. I learn more and
more about it in school, so when you get there it is like enacting skills
you have only read about. London is such an amazing city. Somehow there is
a enormous metropolitan area along with rolling countryside, jammed
into an area smaller than Rhode Island. The city also manages to combine
classic and ancient bits of this great country with very modern and
cutting edge ideas. It reminds me of Rome. When you walked the streets
you could be on a street with brand new cars and new construction, then
take a right turn and there's a beautifully painted church from the
Renaissance. I guess that is what happens when you are in a city that is
thousands of years old.
All in all I'm excited for London.
Not just to return to my favorite city but to share this amazing
experience with my closest friends.
