Going home means getting comfortable being who you are and who your soul really wants to be. There is no strain with that. The strain and tension come when we're not being who our soul wants to be and we're someplace where our soul doesn't feel at home. ~ Melody Beattie

The Best Buys Around
Okay. Today we visited the campus (to better understand which mode of transportation may best suit our needs), where I stepped on dead bird guts (yum), checked out the entire Nottingham rugby team (YUM), and visited the buildings we'll be staying in for our student orientation in a few days.
But the best part of the day (I know, you thought I'd say the rugby players, right?) was the amount of things I bought today for the amount of pounds I dished out. (Note to Mom and Dad: I only bought things I legitimately needed. I'm not going store or boy crazy...yet. Just kidding. ;))
For lunch, we had a personal pizza, choice of bottled drink, and dessert for less than 3 pounds(about $4.50).
Then we went on stunning photo adventures (to get the touristy photo-taking out of the way). My favorite was the one shown at the beginning of this blog: we were trying to take pictures in front of the main square, and this guy would not take the hint and move. So I took a picture WITH him instead... without him knowing, of course :)
Finally, I bought a pair of heels (I desperately needed to replace my black dress shoes) and jeans (boyfriend fit, perfect for the gangsta inside) for a total of 15 pounds (about $23)!!!
Amazing. England, I love you.
