I'm baaack!

Do you remember when I said that I was becoming a bit complacent and that life had become routine? Over this past (almost) month, things have definitely changed. Like a big ole snow globe, I have been shaken up and the snow flakes have just begun to settle again.

I have found myself avoiding posting any blogs because:

1)I have been in a constant state of go-settle-go-settle-go and I have not had more than a week to myself to figure out what I want to say about this past month. Forget about editing pictures, Instagram filters are enough for me now. 

2)I have been very lazy.

3)Oh, and more laziness. 

Now that I have seventeen days left in England (or according to my phone's countdown, sixteen days and nineteen hours) I am finding myself in a mixture of emotions. My papers are looming and my planned trips have all been taken and life is once again slowing to a halt. I feel as if I have been living the life of a gypsy girl and now that I have no more daring escapes to make, I am left with nothing but the empty word documents I am to fill up before I can go home. It is as if these papers are the final test in my heroic journey, forget slaying dragons or making a sea voyage about the globe. I think I'd rather take the dragon. 

Over the next few weeks, I will keep with posting and will fill up my blog with lovely pictures of Ireland and Chatsworth and Scotland, each of which will continue to hold a special place in my heart. 

Really, I just wanted to pop over and say hello. 

I miss you all. 

I don't want to write this paper. 

:( 

happy halloween!

As I sit in on my bed, surrounded by sweaters and socks and shampoo bottles, I wanted to wish everyone a belated happy Halloween! Why am I surrounded by packables? Oh, only because tomorrow I leave for IRELAND. <3

But before I scurry off, here is a picture from last night, when I ran into another mime!
