I So Don't Do Goodbyes

View of Parliament from the London Eye

So today is the last official day of the FSU Multimedia London Program and I'm not sure I'm ready for that. It was a fun day with everyone, we went to the London Eye and the ORIGINAL Hard Rock Cafe.

There were lots of silly pictures taken and there was more singing than the other patrons of the Hard Rock wanted to listen to. However, if you don't want us to sing, don't play such singable songs at such a loud volume! Desserts and spoons were shared - we have definitely become family in the last 3 weeks.

The Original Hard Rock Cafe opened in 1971

I'm going to miss my new library family. I won't say goodbye to anyone because, as I said, I don't like goodbyes. I'm also hoping to see my new friends again! I have learned so much in this class, both from Dr. Everhart and from all of my classmates. I am a better person for having come on this trip - so THANK YOU to everyone that was here with me. I will miss you and I hope our paths cross again!

I am sad to be leaving my new home, and believe me I have come to think of it as home.  However, I can not wait for the following:

-my people (you know who you are)

-my cat

-Stella, my wonder car

-a shower that I do not bruise myself in because it is made for Lilliputians

-my Keurig machine

For those of you that I am coming home to, here is a dictionary so you can understand me:

Cashpoint - ATM

Tube - Subway

Takeaway -Take out

Chips - French Fries

Crisps - Potato Chips

White Coffee - add milk please

Ice & Slice - add ice and a slice of lemon to whatever drink I order

Bin - Garbage

Lift - Elevator

I will also refer to everything in terms of pounds and pence.  

Also expect me to walk on the wrong (left) side of everything.  I have adapted well to London and I do not plan on re-adopting my American ways until you are all sick of me. Cheerio!
