Liverpool

Today I was able to travel to Liverpool! I was really excited because I am a huge Beatles fan. I also liked knowing my family on my aunt's side come from there as well. While there we saw all kinds of museums that were very interesting. One was about the Titanic and all the other ships that have sunk coming from England. It then led into really cool World War Two information about the battle between the British Navy and the German Nazis. I was pumped because it was the first European perspective I was able to learn from. We then went into the International Trade Museum, which was really sad but interesting. Before these more educational museums we went into The Beatles Story. I got to see how the band started and their journey into fame and when they broke up. I was the most excited for this part. One of the highlights of my week for sure. 


Now that I did a few days of walking and traveling I should probably take a day to rest and put myself back together. I've been none stop all week and I'm excited to get back into the routine of school. Hopefully it will be good for me. I seem to be fighting jet-lag...but its now catching up with me. Talking to my friends on skype is making me get a little home sick. I really hope once at school and I make more friends I will feel better. If not...I'll have to get over it since I'm here for three more months hehe

Landed

Today is my 3rd day in England. I have been non-stop since I landed Monday morning. Monday we rested in our hotel and enjoyed our first tube ride to watch Mama Mia! I got fish and chips for my first dinner across the pond and got to order my first "legal" drink. After a long day we headed to bed and Steph, Lizzie and I headed out to explore London by 10am! We saw palaces and monuments while walking all of London. We were sore and tired, but it was so worth it. I slept until almost one today! I don't think I have ever done that. I'm getting used to the time change...kinda. I'm still trying to get used to being so far away from home. I hope it will become more normal. I can not understand pounds for the life of me. Steph needs to keep helping me pay for things. I'm actually getting ready and excited for school to start. Once I get into my routine I know time will fly by. It's hard not being able to text everyone especially Dan. I got to skype chat with people last night, which made me feel better. So far so good :)

One Week!

It's finally come! I leave for England in one week...I do not feel prepared at all. I still have all my shopping and packing to do. I am not sure if I am mentally prepared to be leaving the country in just seven days. It's n0t like I haven't left the country before, its that it has always been with my family. It will be a new experience I am nervous...but also excited. While traveling I will try to keep everyone updated with pictures and posts. :)
