Wow

I'm posting from the UK! I can't even believe it myself. I would upload pics but I'm not sure I could do it. Everyone here speaks British. It is crazy. Okay here's a list of a few British words we've picked up while here.

1. Posh (how people in southern england speak)
2. Vicor (not sure)
3. Byrd (lady)
4. Bloke (dude)
5. Batty boy or bummer ( not repeatable but i think you get the idea)
6. Pants (underwear-we made some big mistakes here the first day)

There are so many others that i will let you know when i get as soon as i get back. I'm coming to school on wednesday but I have no idea how I will be considering I will have just flown accross the Atlantic. I went to Durham Cathedral today where we stood where they filmed some Harry Potter scenes. So there's many a picture of me in my gryfindor scarf, feeling like Ron. We are going to Scotland on Monday and I should hope to see some redheads there. Pray that we have a safve flight home and that I sleep on it. Also I apologize if any of us sound really annoying we when get home 'cuase this accent thing picks up easy when the people can't understand American. so posh!

Soaring high


So it's finally finished. I had my Eagle Court of Honor today and many of you guys came and supported. I really appreciated that, more than words can express. It was far more emotional than I had anticipated but of course there I was sitting on a stool in front of twenty crying people and I had not one tear in my eye nor anything really to say. So typical! Next time I really feel like crying I going to bring packets of water the squirt in my eyes so that way I can join the normal people who get, what do you call it, oh yeah, emotional. I am so very proud of our forensics team mainly becuase we won 1st in sweepstakes this weekend at the Cookeville Invitational. I am very happy that we have such an awesome team that is not only talented but also good looking. I found the funnies thing since sliced bread. Broccoli on a knife! Try it, you'll laugh out loud. I'm leaving for England in less than two weeks and I am somewhat terrified. Pray for me and our team as we prepare to cross the pond and talk to scary British kids.
