London update

Apparently I'm not very good at this blogging thing.

So yeah, I'm in Europe, right? and it's definitely the most amazing experience of my life. Like, I never knew it would have this kind of effect on me but I'm loving it. To put into words, last Saturday I was at Stonehenge and Bath, and this past Saturday I was at the Vatican. Next Saturday, I'll be in Dublin Ireland.

Honestly, who gets to do that?

As far as highlights of the trip go, I can't even begin to type them out because I can't afford that amount of internet minutes. I just know that I'm totally addicted to my group and this trip, and I could do travel every single summer for the rest of my life.

I would write longer and more, but like I said, I don't have the time or money, since everything is double in London, lol. And I'm going to get ready to leave for dinner and a show soon. Tomorrow is our last day in London, maybe a better post somewhere in Ireland.

I shouldn't be having panic attacks over this trip, but I am.

Last night I dreamed that my flight to Rome randomly got cancelled, and left me stranded by myself. Today I panicked all day about packing, and 6 weeks away, and foreign countries and getting to see all that I could without feeling like I've missed out anything because all the what if's keep ringing in my ear, most loudly the "what if I never go back..." tone.

It's kind of an awkward and stressful time. That's really about all I can say at this point.

Oh, and that I'm pissed I'm going to be in London for the Grey's season finale. Yeah, I know, priorities.

1 week to go..

So most everyone at TSN has started their internships by now, and most of my high school friends are back to work at their summer jobs. I, on the other hand, feel like a huge slob sitting at home hanging with my mom.

But I totally love it.

Only one week to go before I leave for the trip. Doing some last minute shopping today, and the beginning trials of packing for 6 weeks of Europe.

Grades were published, and it seems I have finished out strong. I even 2.5ed my trig class, which I figured I would fail. But I didn't, and my GPA is only .1 away from being a 3.0 - so graduating wtih a decent GPA doesn't seem too far off for me.

End of the year nostalgia

So I guess this begins here, at the end of my second semester at TSN. It's a strange time for me, kind of. I have just completed the semester of hell, both grade wise, work wise, and family wise. It's such a relief to find closure. However, I'm finding myself wondering how I will deal with 8 weeks away from the newsroom, because since August it's been more of my home than anyplace else - whether I liked it or not.

In the meantime, while I'm looking back not forward, I have to remember I have two finals on Wednesday, both which I have procrastinating studying for effectively. And also, in 15 days, I leave for my study abroad trip to the British Isles. Which is unreal to me, and still feels like a year away.

I have no list, nothing packed, and a ton of imaginary plans which need to be set in stone.

And it's 8:30 a.m. and I definitely could be sleeping right now, but I'm not. I'm still tired, exhausted, and haven't caught up on sleep from three nights of drinking, particularly the last one which was probably one of the best nights with the TSN family I've ever had.

I guess that's all. The point of this blog will be to chronicle my trip, and when it's done, to rant and rave about my TSN career and discuss journalism ideas. I suppose haha.
