Last day in Romsey

First of all, a huge thankyou to everyone whos given me such a send-off :D
These last weeks have been hilarious, and I will cherish the memories of cinema trips, trashing PS2s and sticking magazines to bedroom walls, not to mention being high on sugar along the way.
The gifts you have given me were a lovely surprise, and I will cherish them. I got a food package from my parents! wooo!

My last few days in Romtown/Romzle/Rommers have been great, and I spent today walking through it and saying goodbye to everything, from the silent graves of the cemetery, to the cynical wit of the graffiti under the railway bridge and the silent peace of the Abbey. I even said goodbye to the ducks. One thing I won't miss are the infamous Romsey Pot-Holes!

I will miss you guys and hope you will keep in touch. I hope to have internet at my new place, so I will keep in touch via email and facebook, and msn too. If you want my new address, please text me for it, because I'm not too sure Elaine wants her address on the internet!

My host is called Elaine, she is a lovely lady who comes from the West Indies/Jamaica, and she is so friendly. She also likes sewing! So Angeline will have a friend XD. I will be living in the borough of Lewisham and Kerry, my borough leader is really nice ( if you read Conspiracy of the Insignificant, which is making its way round Reloaded atm, she has written about her gap year experiences in it).
XLP have been very welcoming and I have had lots of phonecalls from them to sort out details and to ask if I have any questions.

I can't wait for the "freshers week" which starts tomorrow, and I also get to meet Elaine. At freshers week there will be games, lots of food (yay) and teaching on budgeting, the social issues of London, some theology, and plenty of time to get to know the leaders and other students. I've already talked to a few on facebook, they seem a lovely bunch.

My wordly belongings have been condensed to 5 suitcases and a pallete full of fabric and Angeline, and we all ship off tomorrow morning. Keep in touch!
