Clearing the Air and Getting Used to Not Having It

My second post in 1 day! Too much? Maybe... I’ve been home a lot today because I’m soo tired. Naps have been hard for me here. I have a bad case of FOMO (fear of missing out) but I’m going to have to get over it. I’ve been sitting on the couch for a while trying to play with my website but I can’t keep my eyes open. The format of the site is not exactly what I want it to be but I don’t like the other ones any more so I guess I’ll stick with the sunset for now. And for the record, because I’ve gotten a lot of questions, journeys is spelled correctly. I know it seems like it should be –ies but it’s not. Just fyi. But other than that if anybody has thoughts about the website please let me know!

Katherine (she lives in the flat upstairs, we did Summer Welcome together and were roommates on a 2 week trip to Europe sophomore year…I think she’s an “exquisite gem”) and I went to the Natural History Museum this afternoon and it was pretty neat. Lots of animals and fun science stuff to look at but definitely the wrong day to go. It was absolutely packed b/c of the bank holiday and there is minimal air-conditioning…I have to remember that for when my sister Meg comes because she hates being hot.  So I guess crowded buildings will go on the flex list to be bumped up or down based on temperature and humidity level. I've never gone a summer in my life without AC so this will take awhile before it's a new normal.

I think it’s starting to become real that I live here. It’s kinda neat to look back on the past week and see how far my flat mates and I have come in terms of comfort level. Each of us is getting more adventurous and independent…I’m really lucky to be in a flat with such a great group of girls. We all have very distinct personalities and I think we are going to compliment each other very well. (Knock on wood!) : )

Wow impressive, two posts in one day. Hang in there and get some sleep. I am going to print your blogs so Grandma and Grandpa can read them tomorrow. Love you, Meg.

Has this world been so kind to you that you should leave with regret? There are better things ahead than any we leave behind.
