So, my darling angel Gemma pointed out this status update to me today, which is something I said way back in December (and yes, that was your shout-out, Gemma).

just had a mini freak out session. 6 months? i'm nuts. calmed down now though haha! who is going to console me in two weeks time when i'm a complete wreck?
It's funny looking back and reading that, and remembering how SCARED I was to come over here. It felt like 6 months was going to be forever, and I'd want to go home. Yet here I am, almost at the end of my time here and all I can think about is how much I DO NOT want to leave. As much as I whine about the weather and how much I miss everyone at home, I'm just not ready to go. I know I still have 6 weeks in total, but 4 of them are being spent traveling. That leaves me with 2 weeks left to spend here. I have met SO many great people here, it just really sucks that my time with them is almost over. This place has been my home since January, each and every day has been amazing. I am going to cry buckets of tears when it is time for me to pack my things and go. :(
I'm definitely going to come back though. There's still a lot of places in the US I want to visit, so in a few years time I'll organise another trip, and will come back here to visit people. You all know me, I can't stay in one place for too long haha.

Quiet week
It has been a REALLY quiet week, haven't really been doing much! We've had some gorgeous weather, so I've been out and about with some friends but besides that, nothing has happened! Realised today that I haven't seen the girls in like 3 weeks, need to pay them a visit some time this coming week!
It will be 4 weeks on Sunday until I head to Los Angeles. I really can't believe how quickly this term has gone in. Every time I think about leaving, I get butterflies in my stomach. Really not ready to leave yet, think I'll just stay here! A girl can wish, right? I've made so many friends, it's going to be so hard to say goodbye. Need to stock up on the tissues before I say bye to anyone I think. I'm the biggest baby in the world, so many tears will be shed. Sorry guys, but prepare yourselves for it!
One of my friends invited me to her house for Easter dinner. She has 2 kids and they always do a big family thing, so I'm really looking forward to that. She mentioned it to me in class the other day, and it just further proves to me how welcoming people are over here. I mean, I know that my parents and friends would do the same if I had people from here come visit, but it still never ceases to amaze me. Although I'm not religious and don't particularly celebrate Easter, it will still be really nice to be in that whole family setting. And I'll get to meet her two boys who are ADORABLE. Excited!
I know I said in my last entry that all my summer plans are finalized, but I'm going to state it again. Because I can. My summer plans are finalized. And no, I'm not going to get tired of making you all insanely jealous. I'm loving every minute of it. Wish some of you were coming with me though. ♥ There has been one new development though, 3 of my days in Boston are going to be spent in New York!! NOSDNKJGNDSKJGKDGHD. That just about sums up my reaction to that. And we're going to go see a show on Broadway. SO. EXCITED. New York and Broadway have been calling my name since I was a child watching Miracle on 34th Street, I honestly cannot wait. This whole summer is just going to be the best time of my life.
tl;dr Boring week, but still loving life.

Indiana
Not much has really happened the past couple of weeks since I last updated. Just been busy with school work, getting near the end of the semester now (5 weeks left) so tests and coursework deadlines are creeping up!!
This weekend I decided to go to Indiana to stay with my friend Amanda. She picked me up on Friday, and we drove to her place in Cambridge City. Such a small town, it was so cute!! I had mentioned I wanted to go shooting at some point while I was here, and her boyfriend goes hunting. So on Saturday morning we headed to her boyfriend's friends house for some target practice! I got to shoot loads of different guns which was so much fun! Definitely found myself a new hobby....
Amanda had told me about this cute little pizza place named Clara's, so we went there for lunch. Inside, it has this big double decker bus which you can sit inside to eat. It also has tables with swing seats, so cool!! When you place your order, you use a phone to call the waitress then they bring you your food. I found this hilarious, but it is SUCH a good idea. Means you don't have to wait for a waitress to finally come take your order!!
Afterwards, we drove around Richmond for awhile so Amanda could run some errands, then we went to the best chocolate shop ever. Now, I HATE American chocolate, it is horrible, but this place was a real chocolatier shop and omg it was delicious. Ended up spending $24 dollars on a few little chocolates and a cake. So worth it though.
Delicious!
After our trip to the chocolate place, we headed in to Indianapolis which is about an hour away. We did a bit of shopping (I bought some shoes - of course. Flipflops though for the summer!!), then we walked around for about 2 hours looking at the different sites. Not a huge city, but really pretty! Had an awesome weekend :)
I got my summer plans 100% finalised today, so excited!! I feel like I'm about to burst every time I think about it haha. I leave here on May 8th to spend 10 days in LA, from there I go to Orlando for 7 days, Boston for 5 days, and Chicago for 4 days. Definitely going to be the best summer EVER!! Never going to want it to end. :(
Still trying to organise a New York trip, will hopefully get that done this week. If my friend can't make it, I think I'll end up just going myself. I can't be here and not go to NY at some point, I'd never forgive myself!!
