Tis' the Season

My my my!!! London around Christmas is incredible! They take it quite seriously over here, everyone gets into the Christmas mood in November. It's all lovely though.
I am going to miss London when I come home for the Holidays. I am officially that Uni student who makes her way home for Christmas. I am quite excited to come home, only 4 more days!!! Who is counting though?

I have finished all my courses and have had all my hand-ins, I did quite well in most of my subjects. I came away with 1 pass, 3 merits and a distinction. All were level 3's, so here here to being amazing! We've had our briefing for next term and we are supposed to do all the research over Christmas break, which will be cool because then I can show off a little and have evidence of what I am doing in my course to show my family.

I am looking forward to coming home, I miss all my friends and family a lot more than I had anticipated. I am also looking forward to all the yummy meals I've kindly asked my mummy to make for me. REAL FOOD!! I will actually eat proper food. I do eat here, but having a small budget means that I am living off rice and veggies. Meat is a luxury. There are actually quite a few foods I am looking forward to eating again.
I also want to rub my face into my animals!!!!! OMG I miss them dearly! I also want to see my Brother and have a mummy hug. I may be 19 but I feel as if I have regressed in age while being here. Although, if you see me over my break you will probably think the opposite.

I am also looking forward to working again. I have talked with my previous boss and have agreed to let me work for 2 weeks!! I am super stoked to see all my work friends!! I miss them sooooooo much. I also miss just working, I know I have my studies but I kind of want to see my bank account go up once in a while. Seeing it drop constantly after having a year of the opposite is really hard to grasp.

Now that I am on my Christmas break I have had a chance to walk around London again. I went all around the west side today. I went to parliament and got annoyed at all the tourists that just stop in the middle of the side walk every 3 seconds to snap a picture of a new piece of "London gum." Ugh, that was annoying. So, I walked around Victoria then Belgravia and Hans Town, up through Knightsbridge and South Kensington. After that my feet started to hurt so I just came home. I am going to sleep really well, I did 5 hours of walking.

Also my Christmas shopping had been done for a week. I don't think I spent more than 150 quid. Market gifts are the ultimate. So cheap and so unique, everyone will love what they are going to receive.


Well, I am going to leave you with that for now. There might be another one soon.

See you in Canada or after my break!!
