Hello from the train to Grantham!
I am
currently on the train back to Grantham from Leeds! I had a wonderful night
there just exploring and getting some good R&R with a few friends and by
the sounds of it the man next to me had the opposite and he is miserable
on this train haha ... Can't wait…
Anyways while in Leeds we stayed at the High
Bank Hotel which looked like our worst nightmare upon arrival (like a terrible
scary movie) and a little further than we would prefer from town but hey it
ended up not being too bad after all, the inside was much better than the out.
We went to Leeds just to go, we weren't really sure what was there or what we
would do but it wasn't far away and with our short weekend it was a perfect
little get away. Leeds is a growing city with wonderful shopping centers and
night life, but really we just window shopped, had delicious food, and a drink
at the Hourglass pub before we went in to watch a few movies for the night. The
nice thing about Leeds is it is not touristy so the people there love our
accents and are more than willing to help with directions or suggestions.
Any how even with our little trip we had plenty of
fun and we are super thankful for the R&R.
This week is the first
week of quizzes and tests for me which sounds terrible and if I can make it to
Friday I will be grateful.. But I guess I am here for that school thing after
all :).
On Wednesday I have the Meet A Family reception and dinner
which is really exciting for me now because I was informed a family would like
to "host" me for the semester just last week! ( I was first on the
waiting list)
On Friday we will be heading to Lincoln for a British
studies field trip and then on Saturday I will be going to York to see a play
with my theatre class! No rest for the weary!
On a side note we found ourselves saying "ugh
I wish this particular trip was this weekend" and so on... only to realize
that we were wishing our weekends away so we fixed that real quick :) …
because after this week we are already 1/5th of the way done with our semester
which is super scary…
Here is my weekend in a few pictures…Enjoy
