In honor of my friend Kelli Skinner, who did a similar post on her own blog, I am writing a special belated Guy Fawkes Day post. Guy Fawkes Day celebrates a man who tried to blow up Parliament, but didn't, so all across England they light bonfires, burn effigies, and explode fireworks. So, this post celebrates things that blow and things that light me up (Thanks Kelli!)
Things that blow:
1) Getting lost in the ghetto on your way to the Guy Fawkes Day party so that you only catch the last burning embers of what WAS a 30-foot replica of Parliament.
2) The exchange rate. I think it's around 1.80 right now, but it means my money just trickles away...
3) The circle line. Worst. Subway. Line. Ever. Sometimes it changes and becomes a different line, sometimes it just never comes, sometimes it stops. Sometimes it does all three.
4) Having to do homework in London.
5) Missing friends and family!
Things that Light me Up!!!
1) Getting unexpected postcards and mail! I promise this is not a hint, it just made my day!
2) 40 awesome students at the Centre and awesome faculty and family.
3) Living in London for three and a half months and getting the opportunity to see all these shows and museums and places I've always dreamed of!
4) My rockin' awesome super-de-duper welcoming ward.
5) My roommate totally just straightened my hair last night, so I look great.
Hope that life is lighting you up, and it doesn't blow! Happy belated Guy Fawkes Day (It was Saturday!)

You forgot to mention the wind... it blows too.
P.S. Boys who are clueless and even those with clues and just boys in general.
