Making a list, checking it twice

With only a few days remaining, I feel as though I did when we (the study abroad students) took our "flight" in the London Eye: here I am, in London, and it's beautiful...yet the more I try to enjoy it, the faster it keeps spinning by. It was stunning to see the city all lit up at night. It made me realize how "homey" London has become, yet at the same time, seeing this sea of lights beneath me made me strangely homesick for the softer glow of a distant farm town.

I shall be there soon enough. Yet in the meantime, Pam and I are trying to make sure we have covered all of our bases. This morning we took a break for cramming for our last test and venture up to Abbey Road. Check (see picture above). Tomorrow will probably entail the British Museum, laundry, and some last minute Christmas shopping.

Today I finished my last ever undergraduate test (hopefully). To celebrate, Pam and I came back and took the most glorious nap. Now it is snowing/sleeting out, and making my mind drift towards the Midwest. Christmas Eve is only a week away!
