Well, I just submitted my coursework. Things are done a little differently here. Instead of having deadlines and handing work into our professors, there is an end of term coursework collection. You take all of your assignments to a table and fill out a form. Then, you hope it makes its way to your tutor (that's what they call teachers).
I guess that's why I haven't posted in a while. I've had many late nights. One class required a 1500 word security policy analysis for a European Union document. I know, 1500 words isn't that much, but I've never done a paper like this before. It stretched me, which was good. For my other class, the religion one, I had to turn in a portfolio. Three 1000 word reports and a 2000 word summary of my experience, plus a photo journal of where all I've been. That's 6500 words total. Not too bad, but I'm also not really in school mode. It feels more like a big summer vacation where I attend some meetings and learn about interesting things. The coursework was a brutal wake up call.
Anyway, it's done now. I just have one exam left. One week from now, I'll be flying over the atlantic on my way home. I'm torn. Part of me misses home and my friends and family so bad I physically hurt. Another part of has fallen in love with London. It's a fantastic city! I had some romantic notions about European city life, and most of them proved true. It scares me to think I might not ever make it back here. Part of me just wants to go walk around the city for every hour I have left till next Friday. It's been a great time, but it's not over yet.

Glad to hear you got that stuff done. Good work. Falling in love with European life is good, but just make sure you do, in fact, make your way back here. America needs Roland, too.
I know just how u feel
I miss London's scenic beauty & history
