I can officially say that I am done with my junior year of college. Wow, that is completely surreal. I am a senior?! When did that happen? Besides for finishing up my final essays and handing them in, the end of this week has been filled with little exciting activities.

Friday, I went with Chm and two of her flatmates to Greenwich. Our sole mission of the trip was to find the Prime Meridian and stand in two hemispheres at once. Beating the rain and staying dry, we quickly boarded the train for a short ride to Greenwich. Once there, we effortlessly followed signed for the Royal Observatory, walked through the Greenwich Park, and climbed the hill. There, we found the Prime Meridian and stood straddling the line. Mission Accomplished. It was a very Walk to Remember-esque when they stood in two states at once. At home, I have stood in two towns because the dividing line is in my friend’s front yard, but two hemispheres… that just sounds like a bigger accomplishment.

Giving the flatmates some time to themselves, I didn’t meet up with them again until Saturday night. That was when we had seder dinner for Passover, complete with matza pizza, soup, and a delicious apple crumb cake dessert. One of the girls is Jewish and cooked the feast for us! Since they all move out tomorrow, I spent the night there hanging out with the large group of them for the last time in London. That too is another surreal thing. They are going back home and I’m here for just under two more months! However, everyone is from the Northeast, so we’ll see if any reunions happen next year. I’m sure if Chm goes to visit anyone she’ll drag me along.

Now, it’s back to packing. It seriously is the part of traveling that I could do without. Twelve days is a long time period to fit into one carry on size bag!
