Ah. Classes are officially over! First final is tonight from 7-9, shouldn't be too bad. Heading to the pub after to celebrate! The topic for one of my essays on the test is on Taoism and their belief of "wu wei" which I am IN LOVE with! Taoists remind me of hippies in a way. Wu wei means "without action" meaning to think things through before acting upon it. They feel that it is important to go with the flow of nature rather than constantly trying to fight situations and having the need to control everything. I love this just because it is so true and London has taught me that! It taught me to just go with the flow of things and not have great expectations for everything. Life isn't perfect and we don't get everything we want, if you don't make high expectations, you won't be let down all the time. You also have to life with everything thrown with you, prove your strength to yourself.
Just a little piece of my mind and a way to use what I have learned in my class all semester. I can't believe I am 3 finals, a trip to Wales, the Royal Wedding, and 15 days in between me and home. My feelings are so up and down, just like they were the few weeks before I came here. Every day here confirms how happy I am that I took this opportunity and it is having a wonderful effect on me. I love London! But I love you all to. Bittersweet...Bittersweet.
Oh, it is another beautiful 70 degree day in London. I officially have a tan and it keeps getting darker, how amazing? Who would of thought that would have happened in London. Where is the rain? Oh ya, it's back home with all of you =)
-Cheerio!
