I was looking back through the past few months on my blog and it occurred to me, high school already seems like a distant dream. It's only been what, a week and a half? And yet as I read about calc homework and lit reading assignments it surprised me to realize that they already seemed so far away. I was thinking, wait, calc homework was a thing? I was staying up late because I had homework, not just because I have a bad habit? It made me realize that I've been so busy looking ahead that I'm already forgetting what I left behind.
But oh how excited I am for the future! Yesterday they sent out invites for the Summerfuel Facebook group, and I am so ecstatic I can hardly contain myself. 26 days can't fly by fast enough for me. I just want to be in Oxford and getting to know all of these fabulous people I'm hearing about online. They exist! They're real! This is happening!
Sincerely, mad
Hello there! I recently stumbled upon your blog and think you are simply adorable. I'm curious though (as I couldnt' seem to glean the answers from your posts) - what brings you to the UK? are you coming to study here or travel (or both? or neither?) - I moved to the UK about a year ago from Australia and am LOVING IT. In fact I spent a day in Oxford two weeks ago.. umm... you will love it. I saw the stone table that Tolkien used to hang out at, the doorway that inspired C S Lewis' The Lion The Witch And The Wardrobe AND the river that Lewis Carroll began to make up the story of Alice in Wonderland on.......... a literary dream I tell you!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, just wanted to say hello :) Hope you're enjoying your summer!
Hello! Nice to meet you!
DeleteI'm going through a high school study abroad program called Summerfuel. It's a long story but basically I was dying to go to England and since my parents couldn't take me for more than a week, I did some research and stumbled upon Summerfuel, and well, the rest is history:-) I'll go to study Shakespeare and digital photography, two of my favorite things. Oh my goodness, those sites are awesome! Oxford sounds like a dream!
Thanks for commenting! I love new friends:-) Have a great day!
