4/4 To-Do List
Less than five things to really do today, and I couldn't even do the most important one. Hah.
"I can do this" is going through my head on repeat. The kind of message that, said enough times, actually comes true. Right? Right.

"Always do what you are afraid to do." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Not an April Fool's joke. If I don't do this in the next week, anyone has permission to slap me.

LONDON
I finished the PNQs on March 22nd and jetted off to London for a week that very night. Now to wait 6-8 weeks to see if they still approve of me... I also applied to be an English Language Assistant in Spain. I'm hoping that I know when the oral test is before I leave the country.
London was almost perfect. I thought that I wouldn't care for it at first. I like having friends surround me, and I believed that the fast-paced, don't-give-a-shit-ism that London represents itself as was not going to be my cup of tea. But the history... okay, fine, and the Harry Potter sites. It's such a different vibe to know that these monuments have been around for centuries, whereas if something is 100 years old in the states, it's impressive.
Not only did I get to travel with my parents for a week, but I also met up with a friend quite a few times. He definitely personalized the trip with non-tourist things, which made my days much better. I'm really grateful for that, and that he's hilarious.
London. Dover. Windsor. Bath. Lacock.
Westminster Abbey. Stonehenge. Ronnie Scott's. PUBS.
You know what's an interesting word? Idiosyncrasies.
