London was a daze. I think I slept a total of 5 hours over the entirety of my 48 hour visit there - most of that based off the fact that it was such a short trip so catching up on sleep felt like a waste of time. It was amazing though - my first overseas experience. I was on an adrenaline rush as we walked throughout the parks and the markets, in between beautiful, old brick buildings. I felt like every other corner was a scene shot out of the Harry Potter movies.
Today, my group and I woke up at 3 am in order to catch our 7 am flight to Nice. It was torture for that first 5 or 6 hours but as our plane descended on the mediterranean and I saw the hills that sat along the coast covered in luscious, deep green trees and white houses with orange-red roofs - it was so worth every frustration/stress from the early morning departure. After a brunch of a large variety of cheeses, breads, and fruits, we were brought to our dorm rooms which are perfectly charming and wonderful in every way - tall ceilings, light yellow textured walls, and a large window that opens up and looks out to our small, romantic campus next to the sea. Today, my roommate and I were able to nap with the windows open which provided the most refreshing, crisp breeze. The weather here is absolutely perfect - a bit more cold at night but we're able to walk around without a jacket during the day. Let's hope it stays this way!
I miss everyone so very much. Being so far away from home, I am more aware than ever how lucky I am to have the people in my life that I do. Yet, I am so excited to continue to get to know the wonderful people that I am surrounded by here.
Bonsoir! <3
