Uh...Maybe later

Procrastination. I had no idea this disease could possibly get any worse than at Berry. But alas, it has surpassed my expectations. Having classes two days a week? Having 5 straight days of freedom? Being in a foreign country where every sight, smell, and taste is new? I mean, I have months until my essays are due, so why not just hop on a bus to Glasgow? Or spend a weekend in London?

School?

Nah, I'll do that later.

Well...later's almost here and...it's scaring me just a bit.

But I don't regret seeing everything I've seen and doing everything I've done. The classroom isn't the only place one can learn. My GPA and my resume might not reflect the experiences I've gained here, but myself as a person will. That's all that really matters, right? Or am I just justifying not starting my research essay until a few weeks before it's due when I've had all semester...

Life will go on. No one expects perfection. Unless...that is, unless you're a perfectionist.

But here are some of the things I've learned outside of the classroom:

1. Sushi on a conveyor belt just tastes better

2. Nose-bleed sections aren't that bad. That is, if you don't have a huge guy in front of you with his head blocking the whole stage (as soon as I took this picture, a guy came and sat directly in front of me. I couldn't see any part of the stage unless I leaned all the way to the left or right)

 3. Zach Braff could care less about Americans, but we got a picture with him anyway :) We actually got the VERY last picture with him.

4. Sleeper buses are definitely the way to go. We went to sleep in Glasgow and woke up in London!

 5. I love peppermint tea.

 6. The Muffin Man does not live on Drury Lane.

 7. To prevent a guy's head blocking your view of the stage, sit on the front row of the balcony. Best seats ever. And cheap too.

8. I love Rock 'n Roll. Who knew?

9. My new best friend is this joker named Ben. And he's quite Big.

10. Fish 'n chips are just better in London. End of story. These Londoners even make peas taste better.

11. Abbey Road is actually a road...with cars that are constantly driving by...

12. King's Cross looks nothing like the movies and there is no column between platforms 9 and 10. Huge disappointment. I died a little when I saw this. Major let down. But that's the brilliance of magic, I guess. If we could actually see it, it wouldn't be magic.

13. I want to live here.

So I might not be holed up in a library cubicle writing essays, but that doesn't mean I'm not learning!
