Final Moments at 21 PG...

Well, we've come down to my last 3 hours at 21 Pembridge Gardens. I can't believe the semester is over. For the past few weeks it has felt like this day would never come. Now that it's here I'm absolutely dreading it. I am really going to miss this house. There has definitely been a lot of drama (not within my group thankfully), but I am going to miss the excitement. I haven't even missed watching t.v. since this house is more than enough entertainment for me. It's going to be really weird not being able to walk down the road to our favorite pub. I didn't sleep last night. Hanging out with my favorite people and packing were higher on my list of priorities. I already said my hardest goodbye this morning. Paula and I clicked from the very beginning and I'm going to miss our talks. Fortunately, she is the other Chicago girl in the house so we will definitely be seeing each other in the future. We are already planning an East Coast trip this summer to visit all of our other friends.

Yesterday was a really great last day. I took my final final which went surprisingly well. Afterwards, Billy and I went to the Tate Modern to test out the slide exhibit. The Tate Modern rents out a giant space to artists who are then allowed to do whatever they want with it. The current artist made giant slides for everyone to enjoy. We definitely took advantage of this and slid down the tallest one which was 5 stories. It was amazing.

That evening my friends and I had a champagne and cupcake party before meeting the rest of the house at our favorite pub. It was amazing as 24 of the 30 housemates showed up. I'm definitely going to miss this place. After Prince Albert's closed, a small group of us headed over to Kabobs for the final time. We brought our chips back to the house and ended up talking until 3 am. I've been packing since then. It's amazing how much one person can accumulate over a few months.

My Mom just called and she already landed at Heathrow. I can't wait for her to get here. We have a lot of amazing things planned for the next week.

Because of the intense amount of traveling I am doing in the next few weeks, I am leaving my lap top here at the house for safe keeping. This means that I will not be able to update much during my Scotland and Greece trips. I will write everything down in my travel journal, though, and post it when I return. After Greece, my Dad and I are traveling through Switzerland and Austria, and I will have my lap top then.

I hope you all have a great few weeks!!!
