While I am studying abroad at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne for a semester, I figured a blog would be a good idea to keep all of my friends and family updated on my British adventures and a good way for me to not get too homesick.

Day 28
I've been here 4 weeks already, wow! Today was pretty low key. Jen and I went to breakfast as late as we possibly could. I had 4 classes, 3 of which were my math classes, which were easy as usual. I returned to my dorm to find my name on the parcel list! My parcel from Jenna, Corrie, and Gabi had arrived! I have never felt so cared for and I just cannot even express the amount of love I have for these girls. So many wonderful gifts in my birthday/Valentine's Day parcel: Cards from each of them, a Disney animal coloring book, disney princess crayons, a Princess funpack, lollypops, a jar decorated with all things england, M&Ms, and two CDs, lady gaga and boys who make your heart melt with their voice. I am so thankful for these girls and they made me so happy; I am so lucky. After my alone time with my parcel, I called Jen in and we booked bus tickets and a hostel for a trip to...(drum roll please).... EDINBURGH!!! Leaving Friday night, returning Saturday night. Kate came in as well and we all jus chilled in my room, listening to music, hitting each other with things, coloring, and talking. We watched the first 3 parts of A Very Potter Musical, and we will continue, but it was time for bed. I did not get to skype Matt today, but I know it was a busy day for him and he was exhausted. Instead I watched a video of him singing that he had made for me.. over and over again. <3 Overall, I have had a fantastic day, I wouldn't trade it for anything.
