Manchester

Well I successfully made it to Manchester! I didn't sleep at all, except for maybe a half hour on the plane from Dublin to Manchester.  Meghan was skyping with me while I was attempting to pack.  My flight to Philly leaves in an hour and I want to go buy EVERYTHING in the WHSmith shop.  I already raided it and bought 6 bottles of Ribena and a UK flag sticker that also says London. The lady at the check out called me love and I am going to miss that.  I bought myself a tomato, mozzarella and basil panini in honor of the first thing that I ate when the train to Sheffield went disastrously wrong! But good memories :-) I can't believe that its already been almost 12 weeks and I'm really leaving.  I still feel like I only just got here.  The hardest thing is that I don't know when I'm going to come back, and that is probably what is bugging me the most.  I know I will live here someday, probably in London.  But for now, thanks England for a great term (even if I didn't learn that much academically :-P).  It's been a great adventure and I couldn't have asked for better friends that I met along the way.  This experience has been everything I thought it would be and so much more.  But for now, I must say farewell and thanks for the memories, but I will definitely be back :) Cheers!
Love,
Carolyn
