A world away

So I'm back home. Yah. It's been a while since I've posted. But between coming home, seeing friends and family, and then being thrown into a drug induced haze (I got my wisdom teeth taken out) I really haven't had any time to post. But I'm here. Face almost back to normal size. And back to posting :) However I can't help feeling that I left my heart and soul in a country 3000 miles away at a pink gate leading into Hyde Park. I'm sure I'll find it again though. If not here then in Boston :)

My final few days in London were basically a mad rush to get everything I hadn't already done...done. We went to the maze in Trafalgar Square - a maze made of bushes that is a smaller version of the one in Harry Potter. Minus the weird animals and spells trying to kill you. We went to Platform 9 and 3/4, I went to my gym Club Kensington one last time, said bye to Taleb, Ali, the folks at Al Arez. I had my final dinner with Shahar (as it only seemed fitting) at Stanhope Arms, where we said bye to Paul, Tony, and Dennis. Shahar and I downed almost an entire bottle of Absinthe in 3 days that Dennis had brought us back from Spain......those were some special nights. I said goodbye to a bleary eyed Julia who gave me 2 four packs of corona and sent me on my way to pack. The last day in London, Jay and I bought Cuban cigars (a long time dream of mine) and had coronas and cubans in Hyde Park as we all sat there watching the sun rise. I went for a goodbye run in Hyde Park that morning to take in for one last time the glorious nature that I had been able to explore while I was there. We need more parks here. I know this post is just a list of a bunch of things I did and it almost seems like a huge blur, but that is what those last few days were like. No downtime. Just packing everything in. My dear London friends, both in London and in the States, I love you and miss you and thank you for making these past three months of my life some of the best ever :)

Now that I'm back home...I'm recovering. Face still a little swollen but ok to hang out finally and see friends and just chill until I head back to a full semester in Beantown. Can't wait to go back but so happy to be home and so sad to not be in London. Emotionally confused. What's new? So this blog I guess goes back to being my thoughts and mundane daily actions I guess. Till next time loves :)
