Today

Wow. just realised I hadn't blogged in a while oops!
I'm staying with a family here I met last year on my gap year, and I'm in Bristol now. It's been um, up and down to say the least, but all I can say, due to privacy reasons, etc, that a hell of a lot can change in one year...
Where to begin? Life is good. Met up with my friend Max and Rosie a few days ago in Bristol. We had some cider, pimms, beer, etc, and life has been good. So great to see them! I saw a lot of students I worked with last year in Bristol, oh, and even a friend I made working with from St. Augustines in Trowbridge. Vicky was lovely to see! Bath is always a great place. *Note to self/others*: the boston tea party tea place is simply awesome.
Reflecting back on time here i was asked where my favourite place was to have visited. I somehow blurted out belgium. it wasn't aesthetically the most beautiful place in the world, but the company i shared was incredible. and it was refreshing to be able to speak openly and candidly with someone I can now call a FRIEND. :) Cheers to you buddy. Not to mention...the belgian beer was awesome... ;)
Brighton was almost on par with Belgium. I love both in different ways. I loved the sea-side town of Brighton and seeing HOLLY! :) I'm blessed to have wonderful friends out here!
OH MY GOSH. So yesterday, i was out in bristol town, and i went to this bowling alley to meet my friend claire, and i bumped into a californian who has gained citizenship here...she offered me a room in her house for £190 a month, and i was like, OMG. I should just take a job at the bowling alley and live in England...but I think it might make me hate England more, rather than love it. England and I have a nice love affair. :)

So within this year I would like to...find my inner creativity. Hopefully I'll come back inspired from these trips and excursions. Maybe make a band...or a duo...or something...*cough cough...you know who you are...Jon/Ged!!! maybe do more things musically. i don't know. i just don't know. but anyways. :)

I think in a few years time, after university, i will definitely settle out here. i don't know where. i don't know what i'll do. but I will do SOMETHING. Ugh. Anyways.
I don't know if I feel like a cup of tea the moment. haha. it might keep me awake, yeah? Anyways.

oh if you haven't noticed yet, the photos are on facebook. hehe. :) xxx

I'm back in Minnesota within 2 days. :( I'll miss you all here. Holly. Ged. Steph. Mondairs. Vicky. Naomi. Kate. Helen. It's been real. Love you all. xxx
