I often think the small difference between here and home are quite interesting. Like yes, they do use the posh. Regularly. And I now remember (usually) to go to the other side of the car. Looking the correct way when I cross the road, however, is taking longer than I planned...
This all came to mind when a song came on my iTunes, actually. A&E by Goldfrapp makes so so much more sense living in the UK. A&E over here means the ER! It's accident and emergency. Suddenly the ong actually makes sense...
Just a short jotting down of thoughts before going to school today to make a yellow brick road. yes, quite seriously...a yellow brick road. Oh, youth work.

I wonder why the wonderfalls on me
The title is from the show I'm currently hooked on-- Wonderfalls. It's so fun, but was cancelled after one season. It seems all the good ones are!
So, going back a few weeks. Rome was awesome. I really liked all the kids...and the touristy sights! Rome is gorgeous. I highly recommend getting there in your life. I have a few of the kids in some of my GCSE classes, so its nice to see them every week.
London was alright. I enjoyed everything I did--meeting up with some friends, going to a random charity dance, seeing Les Mis, going to the Tate Modern. It was nice to see everything.
Now that I've been back, things have actually gotten a good bit busier! I have volunteered myself to help out with the school production of Grease. I'm excited, but also slightly worried for the production itself. We'll see how it all turns out. They have a 6th former- meaning junior or senior in high school--in charge of all the choreography. Even she didn't expect to be in charge of everything! Apparently, I may be enlisted to help her out. Haha. I'm also definitely going to be working with the Sandy and Danny to help them sound legit American. But it gives me something to do that's a lot of fun!
This weekend was also a ton of fun-- I went to a Ceilidh, or an Irish barn dance. It's like square dancing, but it was so so much fun! One of the 6th formers, Becci, invited me and I also went to church with her this morning. She's really sweet and we had a good time. We might do a joint birthday party in March, cause her birthday is only 2 days before mine--another ceilidh!
Also--VERY exciting news! I have a new roommate lined up! Ben. The church had to vote on if it was alright for a boy to live with me, but they voted yes. I'm really excited to not be living alone for much longer. Pray that it all works out quickly.
Another thing to pray for--a couple in the church run a shoebox drive for children in Romania which is in full swing right now. These kids have severe disabilities in most cases and Santa coming with shoeboxes gives them hope and happiness.
