Hello everyone!
I'm back "home" in Plymouth now and no longer in London (sniff, sniff). I had a wonderful time and I will always remember my experiences from there. Especially walking down the Thames river at night time, riding the double decker bus, and being 450 feet in the air on the London Eye.
Probably the best experience I had in London had to be walking down Abbey Road. It was an unbelieveable feeling to walk where the fab four had walked. There were also all of these walls that were full of grafitti in front of the Abbey Road recording studio. It was covered with Beatles lyrics and other cool things like "Yoko sucks". I decided to write "I am the walrus" and my name on it just to add something of my own to Abbey Road. The picture on this blog is of me writing it.
Being back in Plymouth I have finally just sat down and thought, wow...I only have 4 days left until I go home! It seriously feels like I just got here yesterday. I've had such a great time here (both in Plymouth and in London), yet I'm starting to get anxious about coming home. I'm in this weird middle-ground position where I'm sad to be leaving but really happy to be going home..I don't know, it's kind of hard to explain. I miss everyone back home so much, though , so the fact that I'll be home in 4 days is exciting me more and more!
My second inquiry project went pretty well: 3.75. It was a podcast about my experiences in the elementary schools here in the UK. I would have posted it on here but a.) I haven't had time and b.) I don't really like how it came out. It's basically just audio of me and my group talking about similarities and differences between the two schooling systems. Kinda boring.
Anywho...
One more project to go....that's due in two days and no one has had the chance to start yet, including me. It's pretty much a culminating activity/video about what I've experienced during this trip. I have some ideas about what I want to do....unfortunately I have one day to do it. Siiiiigh....
As a side note (that is completely off subject): I think everyone should buy a Tide Pen, and this is why...
I was at the train station today waiting for the train back to Plymouth. I got hungry so I thought it would be fun to order one of these cool baguette sandwiches (it was very tasty)! When I was ordering I noticed that my shoe was stuck to the ground...I looked down and saw a HUGE gob of gum that someone just spit out in front of the cash register floor. I mean come on....who does that?
Long story short, I ended up wiping it off the best I could. Yet I didn't know that there was an even bigger gob on the side of my shoe until I sat on my foot and got gum all over the buns of my jeans! I ran to the bathroom and Kailey used her Tide-to-go pen on my behind. Lots of people stared but it came off! I ended up just making the train in time during this whole fiasco...phew!
Anyways, I should be going to finish up some homework. I hope everyone is doing well, keep me posted on whats going on back in the States!!
Cheers,
Tara

Hey Tara;
Glad to see you safe and sound back in Plymouth. London did sound like an absolute blast though. Especially during the evenings along the river. Can't wiat to talk w/you in person back home. I also need to thank you for all additional computer skills I've recently aquired as a result of your trip. I'm feeling confident, strong, fast, and are utilizing both index fingers to type with. Man I feel like I can split the freaken atom on this sucker now. Thanks once again, dad.
P.S. See you taught me something! Good teacher!!!!
