End of the line

Well, this is it. In 13 hours, I wake up to get ready to take the tube at 5AM to Paddington, where I'll switch to the Heathrow Express, getting me to Heathrow airport at about 5:30-5:45 AM (hopefully). Other than the Euro 2008 final tonight (soccer, Spain-Germany), and packing, I've got nothing left to do but wait for my flight to leave tomorrow morning. Even though it's a 9 hour flight, I get into Detroit around noon, which means I'll be ready to pass out around dinner time back home. After a day of rest, it's off to East Lansing, where I have to deal with the realities of taking 9 credits this summer, working, and getting ready for what's sure to be a busy year as President of Phi Sigma Pi, a third year history major, and starting classes in the College of Education.

This trip has been truly amazing. The crazy part is, it all seems so normal to me. I'm thinking I'll recognize how much it's changed me when I get home. But that's for then. Now, I'm just enjoying my last few hours in London. I'll start with the packing shortly, then I'll be settling into the bar to enjoy the European Cup final with the multitudes of Spainards who are staying in the hostel. I could cheer for Germany, but it just doesn't seem wise. Plus, it's Germany, and I studied Spanish for 5 years for a reason, right?

Next time I post on here it will be to announce that I finally finished uploading my pictures onto the Internet. Until then, you'll just have to wait in anticipation.

Yebo, Molo, Adios, and Cheers!
