Bonjour tout le monde! Happy Easter and Passover!
It's been a long, long time since I last posted a blog entry (over a month I think, unacceptable)! I recently uploaded all the pictures I've taken up until this point, and they're all online! I'm working on captions and have completely finished with my album from London: Londres
I visited London the 19th through the 22nd of February, so a very long time ago! But here it is! I visited two friends from Ithaca, Rose (who I met way back in Orientation of Freshman year) and Laura (who I met through my sorority)! I stayed in their apartment, which is VERY nice, but very pricey as well. They're incredibly happy there because it's beautiful, very well situated, and their landlady loves them (and therefore gives them all of these random extra things like nice china). They live with a third student from Ithaca College named Kelly, who is also a very nice and fun person. (Ithaca has a college campus in London, so all of the students in their program are from Ithaca College, however they aren't fond of many of the other students, so they've become really close and have met and become friends with a lot of British blokes!)
This Thursday afternoon I'm leaving with Amanda to go to Lisbon, Portugal, and we're coming back the following Sunday afternoon (9-10 days!). We are SO excited to go. We've heard so many amazing things about Lisbon and are staying in a hostel that's ranked among the best in the world!
I'm about to go to Amanda's house, actually, to eat dinner and sleep over, so I'll continue writing captions and updating my blog tomorrow.
I miss everyone very much (especially since I wasn't with my family to celebrate Easter for the first time, I think) and I can't wait to come home, even though I'm also sad that I only have about 40 days left of this program. It's been an incredible experience with many ups and downs, but I've never regretted my decision to come here. I hope everyone is doing very well--please keep me updated if you have any big (or small) news!
À bientôt,
Monica
