One Year Later

I can't believe it's been a year since I started my journey to Praha! It seems so far away. I have a friend who will be studying in Praha this semester. She lived across the hall in my while I lived in the dormitories here at K-State. Here's her blog: Czech it Out. I am a wee bit jealous to think she is doing what I did a year ago, but it is an experience we all get to dable in being an architecture student. And I really shouldn't be jealous, I mean at the time I went and the people I befriended will be a totally different experience then what she'll experience, and I had my chance and I lived life the the fullest when I was in Praha. Living abroad is one of the most amazing experiences I will ever get to partake in!

I do miss Praha, but I miss everyone I befriended in Praha, who are in the UK (because that is where everone is from for the most part) more. Friday will be one year since I met my roomie, Varie, and that will hit me the hardest I do beleive, but I do have some exciting news though...I am going to Scotland in May as my graduation present to myself! I am soooooooexcited!!! I bought my tickets yesterday, so it is official. II'll be going for a week leaving the Tuesday after Graduation, May 15th, - arriving in Scotland on Wednesday May 16th and will be coming back to the US of A on Wednesday May 23rd - which will put me being back just in time for my brother's birthday. I've missed everyone all so much, and now I am just physced about a trip and seeing them all for a week! :D I want to go see some castles and maybe some of the beautiful landscape (Highlands) I hear is so lovely (and I can see a very good example of it on my calendar Varie sent me for my brithday). Now the excitement of graduation getting closer and closer is even more elevated because I'll be in the UK less then a week after I do graduate! I hope you guys are all ready for me! Here are some pics I found on-line...

Bagpipes and Kilts
I wonder if he is a true Scotsman...

Scotland's Highlands

Scotland's Stirling Castle

So I am very much looking forward to going to Scotland to reunite with all my friends. I hear they are taking a trip to Praha this Spring and yes that would be fun, but I would like to experience another part of Europe, and a place where some of my ancestors came from, and where my friends grew up! Well I must go, this is an extrememly busy semester, my project is huge and we have critiques on Friday (and I am trying to get done before Jason gets here tomorrow). Ciao!

PS - Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
