I am home.

Samuel Johnson once said, "By seeing London, I have seen as much of life as the world can show." While I know I have so much more of the world to see, London has been a truly great place. I immersed myself into a culture completely unknown, and gained so much in return. I will miss a million things, for instance; catching the bus to Shoreditch, wandering around Covent Garden and eating at Food for Thought, running in Regents Park, walking along the Thames, braving the crowds on Oxford Street, the hot and sweaty tube, my morning coffee and walks to class, nights out @ GBK with the boys, cheesy chips after a night of drinking, and most of all, laughing the nights away with my sweetheart.

My last night in London was very memorable. And while forcing myself passed security was so incredibly hard, I have to believe that the best is yet to come. My love affair with London is now over, and one more chapter in my life is complete. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, London for giving me so much this fall and for introducing me to some of the most amazing people I have ever met. It will not be long till you see my face again.
