This morning I felt like a zombie but hey that's mornings for ya. Nothing new. We started off our school day with our French test. It was fine I suppose. Then I studied until Our Western Heritage. We learned about more art and also the start to the Athens-Sparta rivalry and also Alexander the Great. Chapel and lunch. We ate pasta with red meat sauce and corn. I was on cleaning duties again. Then I went back upstairs to our classroom and studied again for Life of Paul test. We took our test at about 1:30. It wasn't that bad either. Then I studied some more until my Literature test. There is only 7 of us taking that class. Everyone else was smart enough to not bother with that nonsense. When we were ready to take the test, we went online and it wasn't there. Brandon emailed our professor but it was like 7 am central time so she didn't respond for awhile. He let us leave for about an hour and check in later to see if it was up. That was good because my mind was exhausted by that point and I don't think I would have done very well. I took a shower and started to pack my Kelty for London. I felt better after the shower and started the test at about 4. The test allowed for 2 hours and it took me 1.5. It was a long test. bleh. But it was fine. whatevs. It was only long because of the writing parts. When we were done with the test, it was dinner time. We ate everything leftover from the week. So more pasta pretty much. I had to clean up dinner again, then we had to clean the whole facility, make our beds, and pack our bags. I didn't really have to clean anything since those are paid jobs. I did pack though and that is hard packing all your clothes for 10 days into a backpack. Plus all your electronics and toiletries. It is just crazy. I don't feel like I am taking a lot but my bag is full. I did make sure to leave room for souvenirs, because believe me, I'll be buying lots. I am so pumped for London. Yes. Just yes. English woooooo haha. It will be nice to hear all the accents and still be able to understand them. But mostly accents. After we packed we tried planning more free travel but again, wifi. It stinks. We decided to go to McDonalds at about 9. It was pretty deserted out there. Strange because I've only seen Verviers buzzing with people. We tried to use their wifi to plan more free travel but it wasn't very good. I think we learned some more about our options but didn't solidify anything yet. We came back in time for curfew at 11. I called Benjamin and caught up on life at home. Miss that boy. Now time for bed and the excitement of the U.K.. I seriously can not wait. Cold weather, clouds, rain, green hills, history, art, beauty, literature, the list goes on forever. I am ready. Lets gooooooooooo.

Last day in Verviers for 10 days
