Stressing out over the week to come, I need to write a 2000 word paper on Britishness, Britain's National Identity and what it means to be British as compared to what is means to be American and the U.S' National Identity. And I also need to write 500 words on Dover but then you already knew that...

I also need to clean because Megan is coming in 1 week exactly... I'm so excited! I have been thinking lately and this may be the stress talking... but I will be really glad to go home, don't get me wrong I love England and I want to travel but there is just something about home and seeing the people that matter most in your life that makes it better. I'm not homesick and this is an amazing opportunity but I think when it is all done and we are on that plane back to the other side of the pond it will be sad but it will be happy too. :)

Sad because I really do love it here, and I want to come back some day when I'm not weighed down by academics and I can actually take it all in like a sponge.

But it will also be nice to go home, sleep in my own bed, see my family and friends. :)

*Be able to call people again and not worry about how many minutes I am using...

See my cats again.

By the way I think I know what I am going to base my senior collection on... Architecture, and specifically Architecture I've seen on this trip and today in the Library I found a book by pure happenstance called The Fashion of Architecture and it's a look at how Fashion and Architecture relate and how each influences the other. :P

Anyway I should get back to the present workload, I still have a year to go before my senior collection...

I also need to improve my sewing skills, I was telling this to Erin earlier and yes I know Practice, Practice, Practice... but I'm not good at practicing... I need someone to make me practice. Hopefully after I get home in December I can sit down and devise a plan.... I should make a list of projects that I should do... or I should get a sewing book with lessons in it and just do every single lesson until it's perfect. I don't know does anyone have any suggestions?
