So...as I have learned this semester...nothing ever goes according to plan. Here I am at 10 am on Dec 21st and I am still in London, and will be for four more days (meaning I don't get home until Christmas). So basically in the last two days this amazing semester, probably the best of my life, has become a nightmare. As of right now 4 out of 40 people in my program are actually home, a few are enroute today and many go home tomorrow. But basically United screwed us over, completely and totally...they basically canceled ALL of there flights until Weds, who does that?? There is literally no snow on the ground, this is an absurd situation. I am now finally ready to leave, and can't.
But as easy as it would be to turn this blog into a giant rant but instead I am going to say how grateful I am that I found amazing friends on this program, this situation has definitely brought us all closer. Yes I will wake up in a holiday inn in London on Christmas morning but I will be with three of my best friends and am flying home with two of them. We are trying to view this as "bonus London days" or as an adventure, trying to do everything we haven't done yet.
Those of you I love at home, well you are the reason I am so upset, I love this city but I miss my family, my friends, my boyfriend, my bed and just being home. And these bonus London days make my break expentionally more chaotic, 2 or 3 days at home then Florida, then New Years, then Sarah and Beth visit...all exciting things but no time to decompress.
But I would like to say again thank you to my amazing friends here, who turn to chocolate and popcorn with me at 12 am and who won't let me cry or be alone for to long. We will enjoy our bonus London days and our bonus together days...we can get through this together team!
