Is it really March already??

Hey!

Yes, I have been pretty terrible in the blogging department. I can't believe it has almost been two months since I have blogged, nor can I believe that I have been back in the United States for almost three months. That is almost the length of time that I was abroad.

I remember at the three month point in my time in Denmark, I was feeling kind of down and was almost ready to go home. I had chipped my tooth, spilled water on my computer, and gotten my host family's bike stolen all within a few weeks of each incident. I am happy to report that my tooth is fixed, my computer miraculously works (see previous post), and well... I don't know about the bike because my host family has not had any contact with me at all. I e-mailed them around Christmas time and my host mom did e-mail me back, but that's it. It's a shame, but it looks like we are probably never going to talk again. It wasn't the relationship I was expecting, but I can't sit around and dwell on it.

I am actually half way through the semester. Today is the last day of my "spring break". Though I didn't do anything real exciting, except go to my internship for three days (18 hours!), get followed by some creepy, angry old man yelling at me while driving home from my internship one day, and yesterday I went into Philadelphia with my friend Renee. We went to the Flower Show, which was pretty, but I was a bit disappointed. The displays weren't as grandiose as I was expecting, and it was really crowded, not to mention really expensive. Thankfully, Renee and I only paid the student price ($22. Normally $32!). We also got to walk around a little bit downtown. I def need to go into Philly more often. It was kind of cold, but thankfully spring is coming!

I have also been applying to jobs. No luck yet, but hopefully soon! I have also resumed work at Panera again, but at a different location in Warrington, not Devon. I close, but I almost always close bakery, which is the easiest and most pleasant area of the store to close.

My life isn't as exciting as it was in Denmark, but I am finally starting to feel at ease about being back and am excited about my future.  I graduate in about two months (May 12th). I'm so ready! I'll miss college, definitely, but I think it is time to move on.
