The Worst Break Up - Ever 

Welcome to my new blog! I wanted to keep my last one purely travel related because, well, I'm sentimental like that. But here is the one that I'll use for everyday use since I got such a positive response from my London blogging. Anyway. Now on to the important stuff.

Have you ever had a really bad break up? Like not wanting to function in real life, can't do anything that doesn't remind you of that ex special someone, heart wrenching, want to curl up in a ball and look at pictures of the two of you together all day long? Well, right now London and I are going through one of those break ups. Something tells me that London probably hasn't even noticed that I'm gone except for the decrease in number of pedestrians almost getting hit by cars. But boy, have I noticed that I'm gone. After six weeks of studying abroad in that glorious country I am already making plans for how I'll work internationally so that I can permanently be overseas. Don't get me wrong, it's nice to be at home and I am quite excited about heading back to college but let's be real, London > Roswell/Auburn. No contest. It's taking every ounce of self control not to flip through my pictures over and over and over and over. And it really doesn't help that London's parting gift to me was a nice little case of bronchitis so everywhere I go I get to tote around a sweet inhaler. Please, men, I know that the hacking cough and interval hits on the inhaler are attractively overwhelming, but try to keep your hands to yourself.
To add insult to injury, tonight was the opening ceremonies for the 2012 Olympic Games. And where are they being held this year? London, of course. I thought my poor little heart was going to explode when the camera panned over all the places that I've been the past six weeks. That actually might have been the steroid I've been taking that made my heart feel like that, but I'm going to stick with it being the excitement/pride/longing evoked by viewing London's major landmarks.
Despite my heartbreak, the ceremonies were about the coolest thing I have ever seen. It makes me happy to be human when I see all the nations coming together like that. Alright, that's enough emotional chatter for one night. Here's some pictures of the Olympic stadium:

Thanks for keeping up with me and my writing! Hopefully I'll have more readers than just my mother but if that's the case well then, hey mom.
Cheers and goodnight!
