Where did February go?

As I am sitting here between classes I can't help but to think to myself that it is almost the first week of March. When we first got here I felt like January was going kind of slow, but then February approached and it is gone! I'm not sure how the time flew by so quickly! We'll last week I went to London to see my BFF's Amy(from college) and Amanda (from high school). It was amazing we got to see the usual touristy spots. I went to some of the markets around London and they were huge and amazing. It was so much fun. We attempted to try to just get by eating samples at this food market we went to to save money, but we ended up having to grab lunch! (so we may be a little bit cheap :) ) \oh well! My friend Billy from Central is also studying abroad in London and we found a bar called Bar Salsa that had free salsa lessons every Friday night so... as you might have guessed we totally rocked that bar!It was so much fun!! Oh...and I forgot one very important part- we also went shopping! It was a blast.

I have been doing a lot in my classes ( though the education system is a lot different over here). I am taking two welsh history classes, a literature class, and a course called outdoor pursuits. Outdoor Pursuits in a course from an educational facility named the Conway Centre and it is located on a island part of Wales called Anglesey. The class is a lot of fun! We have done a high ropes course, Mountain climbing, Canoeing rocking climbing, and abseiling. It has been pretty intense and I am being put in front of some pretty big challenges but it is well good! Next week we are possibly going mountain biking... WOW doesn't that sound dangerous?!?

Well this coming weekend I am going with a group to Amsterdam and am really excited for that! I think we may also try to hit up other towns outside of Amsterdam to get more of a feel of the Netherlands! I am excited. We are leaving tonight to take a train to Liverpool then we fly out tomorrow morning at 6am! It should be a great time-- don't worry we will keep our heads on straight! :)

Well I suppose I should head to class... just wanted to let you all know that I am doing well and that this is a proper vacation! :) Talk to all of you soon!
