My Last Week at Harlaxton

Hello from across the pond!

I hope you are all having a splendid day today :)  I can't believe that it's my last week in the UK!  I feel like I have been busy busy busy the last few days, so I will catch you up on life over here and what my plans are for this evening.

On Monday, my day was FULL.  I had my final nursing class (hooray!) as well as my second to last British Studies lecture.  I turned in my last project for the semester and I was relieved to do so.  Homework sneaks up on me sometimes, especially with travelling all weekend.  Anyways, on Tuesday I had another long day.  In the morning, we had a nursing presentation (hopefully I can blog about it!) and then I got a behind the scenes tour of the manor.  If you didn't know, Harlaxton Manor was home to the movie The Haunting.  I got to go into the basement and see the props that were used in the movie.  I also got to go into the clock tower, which was really cool.  No students have ever gone up there!  My day didn't stop there- my meet-a-family picked me up to take me to their church and also took me to a church from the 900s.  It was REALLY cool!  I've been blessed by the time I've gotten to spend with them.  When I got back to the manor, I played in the last volleyball game of the semester.  I did pretty well (even though I know NOTHING about the sport!).  
Yesterday was the last British Studies lecture I will ever have (CHEERS!!!!!!!!!!!).  Everyone stood up at the end of the lecture to applaud for our professors.  Even though the class is a pain, they always made it an entertaining subject.  I studied a lot yesterday for upcoming exams.  I did take a study break to watch Christmas Vacation (National Lampoon style) and I went to the comedy night that was put on by fellow students.  It was a scream, that's for sure!  
Today I had an exam and tonight is the Valedictory dinner.  I did really well on my exam, and hopefully the dinner is fun!  

Cheers for now!  7 more days!
