Ania and I left early Saturday morning for Stanstead. We arrived and took the bus into the city. I was then put in charge and took us through London. One thing I noticed is that London you can see from the outside. When I say this I mean that you don't actually have to go inside any buildings (I am discounting museums and of course Madame Tussauds, and Tate Modern). We saw all the regular sights, Buckingham, Picadilly, Oxford Circus, Trefalgar SQ, and then we headed off to find tickets to see Harry Potter. It was amazing.. I know that the majority of you have already seen the movie but think of this...They were giving out Gryphondor scarves. We stayed at a sketchy hostel which was out in the boonies. I had to leave at 4 am to get to Standstead. It was definitely funny going to another country for less than 24 hours. But I will be back... and soon.
I cant belive it!!! I AM DONE THE SEMESTER. I remember arriving and even the planning. It was so long ago. I have seen so much and I will continue to see more (which is the exciting thing). I am sad to leave Poland. It has become my home over these past 3 months. I have forgotten until these last few days about how beautiful and old this city is. I am going to wander around the town and take pictures in the snow. There is something about Christmas and how it makes thins sparkle, now imagine thing feeling and apply it to an extremely catholic country, and on top of all that, Krakow, which boast to be the heart of Poland (and I would agree), is so gorgeous. It may be freezing at night (I use my balcony as a fridge, it keeps things colder then the "fridge" that they provide us). I wish I could describe how my fun and how much I have learnt this semester. I am in my last hours of being in Krakow and I am really going to miss it. I am spending the day eating polish food and taking pictures of everything. Krakow, you have been good to me.
