Sorry for never posting. I've been pretty busy. And by busy, I mean traveling. I went to London last week during the break, and I loved it. I saw the Globe Theater and the Rosetta Stone. I'd write more, but I've already written so much about my trip to so many people and in my jounal that you're just going to have to make do with that.
After my four days in the beautiful country of England, I went back to school and spent Friday, a holiday, in Brugge with my host parents, which is one of the most visited cities in the world because it's super beautiful and awesome. We went to art musames, went on a boat ride, ate in a delicious restraunt, and I bought chocolate. It was a good day.
The next day was Saturday, and one of my new friend's birthdays. Her host mom had planned a sweet suprise party, and my friend just about peed her pants when we all jumped out from behind the curtains. It was a good night.
I've had a couple Skype interview with colleges, and I've already been accepted into a couple, so I know that I'm not going to be a bum when I get back to the states.
I don't know what else to say, so I made a list of everything I love about Belgium.
