It is the eve of my departure. It seems like just this past Wednesday I arrived here and now my bags sit patiently by the door waiting for the morning to come. It truly has become a bitter sweet moment. I’m so excited to leave but I’m so sad to leave London and most of all leave all the friends I’ve made here.
My last trip through the city was great. The weather held off and the crowds were minimal. Seeing everything for the one last time made the walk worth it.I have quite a few pictures but everything is packed now so they will just have to wait until I return.
Speaking of that! I’ll be back up probably before most of you guys go to bed. I rise at 5:30 to catch my 6:30 shuttle to Heathrow. From there on it will be a jump across the pond to Philadelphia and it will be a great sight to see all of the family back on US soil!
Stay tuned, the trip may be over but there’s lots more to talk about!!! Most importantly, GOODBYE LONDON!
And you know what that means. Only one more day!
In my time zone there is a very somber mood. It is technically Friday and there is only one more day left. There were lots of final good byes today at the CAPA Departure Party. It truly was a sad time indeed. It didn’t hit until a professor I truly enjoyed shook my hand and told me it was a pleasure. That kind of set the tone fore the evening. There were quite a few goodbyes and fair wells. Only the best of friends will see each other in one last attempt to spend time together. It truly has been one of the greatest and saddest times in London. The bus ride back from the club tonight was a reflection of what I have done, what I haven’t done and what I have now realized over my three and a half months here.
I’m completely staggered by my reaction to this and I can only dream what I will be going through on Saturday. I do feel now that I am a true Londoner and that I fit in here. I will be greatly sadden by my departure in just over a day.
