So the big news over in the UK is that Prince William and Kate Middleton have broken up. They have been dating for several years and there was even talk of engagement earlier this year. I think that he heard that I was coming to London in May. That must have been the reason for the spilt, dont you think? :) (You can find more information on the royal split on BBC News .)
I received an email tonight about very important information for our final meeting. We have this meeting on Thursday, April 26 (My mother's birthday!!) at 7pm. We will cover flight information, insurance, emergency contact information, and roommate preference. Our group will make up most of the residents staying in the Mentone Hotel (see link on the right side for more information) during our month of residence. There are mostly 2-bedded rooms but there are five 3-bedded rooms. I know one girl on the trip and have come to know another nice girl, but have yet to discuss rooming. I guess we can figure that out within the next week.
Today marks the 4-weeks-until-departure date. I officially leave the United States in 29 days!! I cannot believe it is so soon! I feel as if I have miles to go before I can even think of London. I have been incredibly busy with research papers, exams, and presentations lately and the final exams are looming on the horizon. The last day of classes for UNC is Friday April 27. Final exams begin the following Monday. The last day of finals (and I of course have a final exam on this date) is Tuesday May 8th. I am also inclined to continue working at my old dormitory (Carmichael Residence Hall) for many days before I leave for London. Graduation for seniors is May 13 (Mother's Day!!) but I hope to not be around for that madness!
Oh and during our trip we have two long weekends where we are permitted to travel wherever we choose! I really want to go to Paris, France and maybe Ireland or Scotland. I hope to grab a few people and hit the trains to take some exciting weekend adventures. Any suggestions of places to go are welcome!!
