The Countdown Commences...Again

I'm back in those single digit days as I was three months ago. But instead of heading into a foreign country bristling with new adventures, I am heading home. I have enjoyed my time spent in London but the prospect of home warms the heart in a way that no other place could. I'm sure that there will be things I miss here but that is for months down the road, when the feeling of home has been replaced by boredom or busy work. Now is a time to remember everything I longed for back home. My family, my friends, those breathtaking Texas sunsets and so much more. In as little as nine days I will be hitting American soil, breathing in that sweltering heat that England can only imagine. Granted, I may melt into a pile of goo, having been spoiled by the cool weather here, but I will attempt to enjoy it as much as possible (at least, that's what I'm telling myself ;)). In the nine days left I am attempting to do as much as possible. Going to get last minute souvenirs and presents for friends and family, visiting places I promised I would go to and seeing the sights one last time. Of course, amidst this frantic last minute tourist stops I still need to study...and pack....but those can always wait, right?
