The END.

Well, this is it!  I'm home now, but I thought, partially for my own record keeping, that I'd wrap up my year abroad on this blog...

So, since I'm still jet lagged, and only able to think chronologically, here is a detailed list of highlights from the last few weeks :)

1. Goodbye dinners and garden parties.
2. Essays, a ridiculous exam and plenty end of school stress, and then...
3. My mom came to visit!
4. We hiked up Arthur's Seat and marched all over Edinburgh.

5. We trained it down to Bury St. Edmunds for some quality Lupton/Rae time in the beautiful sunshine of their garden.
6. We celebrated Mom's birthday with epic eating adventures.
7. I moved out.  Insanity.  I acquired stuff.  Woops.
8. I introduced my mom, aunt and uncle to the Chocolate Tree and none of us slept that night :)
9. Mom chopped five inches off of my hair.
10. Mom, Aunt Pam, Lewis and roadtripped to Oban and spent some quality time on the beach.  It was beautiful...

11. And then we came home.

Its really hard to believe that my year abroad is over.  I can't quite figure out how I feel about it yet, but right now it feels incredibly good to be home.

I've really enjoyed writing this blog, and I'm not quite ready to give up blogging, so if you're interested, my own little space of the internet can be found here.  I'm sure I'll find something else to ramble on about... :)

MUCH MUCH LOVE.
