I can hardly believe I have now finished my fifth semester of college. Somehow, a year and a half has already gone by since I started at Chapman. I can hardly keep track of how quickly time is escaping me.
I won't be back at Chapman until next Fall because I am spending my next semester abroad in London! I am so excited for this opportunity and even though just the thought of that 10 hour plane ride puts my stomach in knots, I am so confident that studying abroad will be such an amazing learning experience for me! And plus, when else will I have the opportunity to travel around Europe for an entire semester?! I am so ready to explore a new country, experience a different culture, and I guess take a few classes too.
Despite my obvious excitement, I was a little sad to leave my Chapman home behind for the next basically 9 months. I will miss Chapman and the abundance of fountains on our campus, and the palm trees and the beautiful sunsets.
All of my best friends and I wanted to do something special before we left for Christmas break. So we went out to dinner for Thai food and then had a gingerbread house making competition.
Needless to say, things got a little out of hand with the frosting.
and we took a few dysfunctional roommate pictures along the way.
but the good news is, at least one of the gingerbread houses turned out!
and the other one fell apart completely!
But that's okay because I couldn't have had a better time hanging out and making a huge mess with my friends in our tiny on campus apartment!
I will miss all of my wonderful friends and roommates (except for my roomie, Morgan, who is studying abroad with me) and I will miss Chapman so much, but I can't wait for the opportunity that awaits!
Here's to my next adventure in London!
