Snowed In

I'm sitting in my room and there's a (very light) blanket of snow outside. My bags are packed, I'm on hold with Orbitz, who never sent me my flight confirmation number so I can't check in, and I'm trying to figure out what I have left to do with this last night. Unfortunately the snow means lots of my friends have gotten stuck in their respective locations or at the airport since Europe doesn't know how to handle snow. Heathrow wound up shutting down the runways today. I'm praying that since I booked my flight for tomorrow night it wont be too delayed and will run smoothly.

I've said a lot of my big goodbyes so far, since a lot of people left today. Last night we had our last big night out and it was really fun: pre-drinks in the flat and some random club in Vauxhall. Pretty much all of us were together and that was definitely fun, but it was sad knowing that it was the last time that we all would be. Charlotte gave me a card that a bunch of people had signed and of course I started crying as soon as she handed it to me (having not even read it yet).

It's just so surreal that I wont be living and hanging out with these people anymore, considering they're some of the best friends I've made. I wont be riding tubes into central, taking night buses back, sitting around the flat table chatting for hours, laughing at the hilarity that is Ollie and Louis, crawling into Char's room in the morning to recap the night, going on Nando's chicken dates, sitting with F-Block in 4 or 6, or finding myself with all of London as my disposal. I'll miss London so much, since I've come to love this city like it's my own. But I'll miss it a thousand times more because of the incredible friends that I've made here. I was trying to think about how you could even possibly begin to explain what an amazing experience and came to no good conclusions. It's been indescribable.

Everyone's exhausted from last night so tonight will probably involve many cups of tea, a bottle of wine and not a whole lot of excitement. With any luck I'll be back in the states by tomorrow night and seeing my family. And it'll be sooo hard to leave, but I'm betting it's not the last time I'll be in London.
