hi guys,

the last night has finally come.

i've been pretty busy with final papers/exam so i didn't do anything interesting since my last post. except for one day I went to Wales (which wasn't that interesting anyways, lolz)

i can't believe my last night is finally here. i'm so excited to go home!! but i can't say London wasn't great. this journey was a blessing in disguise. i struggled a lot and i've experienced some (un)pleasant things that required a lot of patience on my part. i'm not sure how i've changed or grown, but once i'm pulled out of this context and plopped back into the states amongst my family and friends, i'll realize (i hope).

mmm one thing i'll miss most about London is.......
MARKETS!!! especially the food markets. ugh, i will definitely miss going out to get yummy home-cooked international meals. and the vast selection of sweets!

my internship was also one of my favorite parts of my experience. i've met some of the nicest and funniest people in my life. i loved that everyone in my office loved sweets (although not good for my health/body). i learned so much and the fact that i got to spend everyday in that beautiful hotel was truly an honor!

when i think about it, i feel as if this entire trip was so unreal! did i really spend 4 months abroad in London? this is a city i merely dreamed of visiting one day. i'm so grateful that i was able to find such a passionate and loving church (although i wasn't too involved in the community).

in hindsight, it's been a pretty awesome four months. but i'm excited to see what's in store for my next step in life. i wonder who i'll meet, what kind of food i'll try, and what more i'll learn.

i apologize for my jumbled thoughts haha. it's not very cohesive and i know i didn't go too much in depth about everything but if you wanna know more, please feel free to personally ask me! otherwise, i just want to thank you all for joining me on this journey. i hope you enjoyed it as much as i did. and i promise i'll upload more pics on fb (later, though......2 many)

love you all,

xoxo
