.::millions of peaches::.
Kate and I spend the day yesterday at Brew working on our scrapbooks over mochas and smoothies. Mine is finally finished...from start to end of this trip. It's really cool to have everything all organized like that. After Brew, we had lunch at Revolution and then decided to catch the 8pm Matrix Reloaded, which by the way KICKED ASS! I was so bubbly and happy after seeing that movie! When we were walking back, we ran into our friends from Mexico, Carlos and Eric, and they asked us to go to Roper Hall with them...seeing as it was the last chance we had to go out, we did! The hilight of the evening by far was when the DJ played something off the Romeo and Juliet soundtrack. Everybody was getting down! I could hear Ella and Janine moving out this morning...I'm the only one in the flat now. Just one more day here and I'll be gone!
I talked to Mom and asked her make her famous enchiladas for my first meal back home. I'm so excited!

.::every you and every me::.
We spent about 13 hours yesterday travelling on busses, planes, and trains. It's so weird that my trip is over....I'm sitting here in my half empty room at Uni and realizing that in the past two weeks I've seen so many things and this time next week I'll be home. Time flies, I suppose. Those afternoons on the beach...nights out on the boardwalk...all the wonderful people we met, the great food we ate, and the stupid pictures we took...my God, I am so lucky. I was on the beach two days ago and two days from now I'll be leaving. Forgive me for rambling, but it's a bit hard to wrap my mind around. I'm not quite sure what to do with myself today. Probably I'll just go to Brew and work on my scrapbook over a few lattes. Apparently, my family is planning a trip to St. Louis when I get back...I think we're going to 6 Flags. Maybe this year I'll suck it up and ride some coasters with my cousin Jackie and my brother Kirt. After that flight yesterday, I don't fear death anymore. I'm getting antsy to get packed up and be back home...I can't wait to eat my mom's food! I never liked it when I was growing up, but now I'd commit murder for some of her lasagne. I need my coffee...I'll post later. I'll keep u guys updated on my estimated TOA into Lexington so's we can party like it's 1999.

Barcelona!
I just wanted to take one last chance to let this set in...I´m in Barcelona at a beach front hotel getting ready to go swim in the ocean. It´s warm and sunny and some of my travel buddies are all out there....Just wanted to say that I LOVE THIS PLACE!

Nice is Nice
I'm in Nice, France this morning....bikini on and towel over my shoulder...I'm going to the beach! The Cannes Film Festival ends tonight so Kate and I are going to go stargazing tomorrow down there and see if we can find someone noteworthy! France is cool....the people here are very nice and I'm practicing my conversational understanding of their very complex language! Just wanted to let you all know that I'm going to the beach to drink pina colodas all day...LIFE IS GREAT!
