Goodbyes

So it was that time - time to say goodbye. About half of the Georgetown group left this afternoon after a nice lunch we all attended (plus Guy). It was also the celebration of the end of our course - I received an A (no surprise considering the lack of difficulty of the course, though I certainly was probably only one of the few to get one in our class) and I enjoyed today just talking (mostly in French) with the profs and students in a casual setting.
Tomorrow it is off to London - I have mostly packed and am not looking forward to waking up at 6:30 tomorrow morning (for an 8am train), but I'll be travelling with Jacque all the way to London (sorta - we have seats that are not next to each other on each leg of the trip), which will be nice. Upon arrival in London, I will have to take the Tube (subway) across town to my hostel with a suitcase with a broken wheel...
I may be giving my friend Max, who lives in London, a call, and I hope to see the rest of the city that I missed last time - like Tower of London, Tower Bridge, and St. Paul's Cathedral. We'll see how it goes!
After that, I will be spending Sunday in Oxford visiting Chi and Brendan (Georgetowners doing a business program there)! And then Monday I will be meeting up with fellow Tours-program student David to stay at his uncle's house and hold a last hurrah in Europe before I depart the next morning for home!
Anyway, should be a fun weekend - hopefully nothing goes too wrong...
It will be sad to say goodbye to Europe - it truly is all its cracked out to be - the history, the culture, the food. Awesome. I'm so happy to have done this trip!! But of course, all things must end, and I am excited to go home as well - to relax, to see the family, etc.
So I may have spotty Internet service for the rest of the trip, but I will do my best to finish off this blog right!
