Being fortunate enough to afford
the luxury of spontaneous travel, here I sit at the John F. Kennedy
International Airport. I am still contemplating the theme of this blog. For the
next month, however, it will certainly be about my traveling experiences within
London and Newcastle. My primary goal will be to document the hilarity of each
day of this journey. Since experiencing London two years prior, as a study
abroad student, I wonder if I have changed as a person since departing King’s
College. The circumstances of my return have changed. I find myself laughing in
the airport as I reflect on how stressful yet simple it was to purchase a
last-minute Christmas gift for my boyfriend’s family. My mother had this
wonderful idea to purchase See’s Candy for them, since their peanut brittle and
chocolate assortments are incomparable to many UK candy companies, I’m sure.
Needless to say, my father and I sped down the road toward the Natick Mall to
accomplish this task. The Xmas shopping was so hectic that my dad had to drive
in circles around the $5 premium parking lot while I ran in and bought the
candy. Even funnier, he thought we were increasing the levels of the parking
lot and made me feel crazy when I claimed we were going in circles. However, on
our way out, he made me aware that he was indeed passing the same entrance over
and over. Luckily, I made it home just in time to throw my final belongings
together and say goodbye to Nana (god forbid she miss me before I depart!). Anyway,
I hear my gate being called for boarding, so I’m off to cross the pond. See you
in London!
