Well it has been a year of planning and a lifetime of dreaming and here I am in the UK. I started this process in March when I applied to study abroad in England, and after several months and I few missed emails I got my acceptance! I would be attending the University of Hull in Hull, England. As the holidays past and January was on its way to being over all my friends started back at school at the U and there I was waiting to leave. (Most of my time was spent sleeping because I do love to sleep!) However my friends and family made sure that I was sent off knowing I would be missed and loved with 3 different going away parties and many coffee and lunch dates.
Saturday: Thanks to Mikelle (the greatest friend a girl could have) I have one of the funnest nights. Eating at Chili's, Ice Skating at the Galavan's Center, and topping it off with Hot tubing back at Mikelle's. I must say my favorite part of the night was Skating. I think that there should be more out door rinks in Utah because the only way to have it be really fun is to be outside with all the lights that were still up down town and everything it was so much fun. Even with the guys skating circles (literally) around Mikelle and me is was still so much fun!
Sunday: Now with my mom being the wonderful woman that she is she had given a few people from church (the people I wanted) to come to a little gathering at our house. With my sister making my British Flag cake and my mom in-charge of well everything else it was a lot of fun. I am thankful to all who came and ate and hung around my mom does know how to throw a party!
Monday: Cafe Trio with the girls! I love my friends! It was a fun night of eating good food, making fun of Courtney's coffee cup and just having a good ol' time. Hey next time maybe we should just go to Zupas since that is where everyone got lost anyhow :) I miss you all!
I left the States on Thursday and on Friday at 10am (UK time) I landed in Manchester, England. After a 2 hour bus ride we got to Hull and that is where I guess the story begins.
