The Greatest Writer The World Has Ever Known

I went to Stratford-Upon-Avon. Yes I did!!!!! I cannot believe it yet...it's incredible! Something that I have wanted to do FOREVER....and I did it! As an English major, I have to say, I can now die a happy woman. I got to see everything that is Shakespeare, everything that revolved around the greatest writer the world has ever known and will ever know. And in only a day I will go into central London and see his well known tragedy, "Romeo and Juliet" played in his theatre, the Globe Theatre. I mean, it doesn't get any cooler than that! It's incredible...eveything that I have gotten to see and do while abroad, I am soooo lucky, it's true. Maybe not lucky in all things, but lucky in the things that count most of all. Honest I am. And now I am only 2 finals (which I have started to study for, but it's sooo annoying, cause my brain is shut off) and 5 days away from meeting my parents in Florence. I have gone without seeing them for almost 4 months, and I cannot imagine having to wait any longer, I need them. So for four months with me telling myself that I am fine on my own and that I don't need anyone, I realize that I do need them. I love my parents, they have given me more than I deserve and have supported me throughout everything. I am lucky. Beyond measure and beyond words. So now the countdown continues....5 days.
