Catching up: Fall Break and other random things

Okay, I'm sorry. I know I am way behind...but it has been a really busy couple of weeks!!!

So first things first... Fall break. 

Fall break was amazing. I spent the first few days relaxing and catching up on some stuff that I've been meaning to get done. The best part of the week was visiting my friend Kayleigh up in Blackpool! I took a bus up on Tuesday morning and came back late Friday night (and barely made the last tube!). 

We got the chance to catch up on everything that's happened since camp, which was really fun. Blackpool is pretty much the coolest place ever. It's basically Weirs Beach meets The Sandwich Fair meets the carnival in the Notebook but about ten thousand times cooler!!! I loved walking down the pier and along the beach in the evening so I could see the illuminations! The second day we went to Manchester and went shopping, ate, and walked around for a bit. Friday was the most exciting day as we made pumpkin chocolate chip cookies! They came out VERY strong but also delicious. 

One of the most exciting parts of our time was our morning routine: Wake up, eat, drink tea, and watch Say Yes to the Dress for several hours. Milo, Kayleigh's dog, was more than content with this situation (except for when he decided to be a brat). 

The final weekend of Fall Break I pretty much did nothing, I slept. I ate. That was it. 

Last week we went to see another show for DLT. I wasn't really excited for it because it was about minorities and those stories usually make me really sad... but it was amazing. We saw East is East which is a comedy. It did a really good job of blending comedy with the serious messages about clashing cultures and the difficulties that come along with that. 

Other than that I've just been doing a lot of work. I've had papers, and trips, and quizzes galore! I did get my midterm grades though and I must say... I did better than I thought which is always exciting! 

That's pretty much it, nothing else exciting has really happened recently. 

xoxo,
