Human, human of the year, and you've won

I am getting so bad about blogging daily!!

Our last two days in York were about as uneventful as the first three...I will probably never return to that city. Not worth a second trip. It has its history, and that's it.

27 July:

Last class in the morning, then we headed to the National Railway Museum. In case anyone doesn't know, I absolutely love trains--always have, ever since Thomas the Tank Engine--so this was a particularly happy day for me. Old trains, new trains, big trains, small trains... It was really cool for me to see the Japanese bullet train, since the last time I saw one was in Japan in 1998 (I rode it!).

Kalen, Tiffany, and I wandered off to get afternoon tea following the museum, which was delicious--as usual--and my favorite part of York, if I'm being honest! I'm going to miss those tea rooms.

Wednesday night, we had a classic girls night, something we haven't done yet here. It was...awesome. Ordered pizza, watched Pride & Prejudice, talked about all sorts of girly things, all the things you ought to do with girlfriends on a lazy night in York. I couldn't have been happier.

28 July:

Last day of English breakfast! I'm going to miss that, too. Who would have thought I would love baked beans for breakfast? Lol

We spent most of today on a train, which means I spent most of the time sleeping because trains knock me out. A nap was definitely needed though; I'm starting to run down a bit from always being on the go.

After what felt like ten years of travel, we made it back to Regent's to get our things, headed to the flats (where I now have a room with Tiffany, Kalen, AND Kristine!!) and managed to find time for the fastest shower of my life.

Why such a fast shower? Because I had to leave in a half hour...to go see my brother, dad, and Mo!! :D Seeing my family was definitely the highlight of my week. I've really missed everyone back home, even though I'm going to struggle to leave. If I could just pick everyone up and bring them here forever, I would!

Wishing I had more to say, but really, we've just been hanging out for a few hours planning our trip to Dublin. We leave bright and early tomorrow, and I'll try to post when I can, but no promises. Eventually I'll get to it! :)

Sending all my love back home!
