Last one from the UK...

Okay, so I know it has been a long time, but I have a lot to tell you. Since my last post, I went to the Southwest Coast of England to St. Ives, Cornwall to the beach with some friends. The weather was absolutely amazing! See the picture...I spent a lot of time on the beach with some wonderful people, and I made some new friends in the process. The food there was great, and the scenery was just as good! Shortly after my return from the coast, Sarah and I spent a couple of days in London. We went to the Victoria and Albert museum, the Science museum, the British Museum, Camden Market, China Town, and Leicster Square (said Les-ter). I have so many pictures from that you will have to check out my facebook album for it. Then, the Homerton May ball got into full swing. For all of you who do not know what a May ball is, it is the last hoorah for all of the students in Cambridge. Every college has one, and they are extravagant. Black tie, themes (ours was Bond), and the event goes from 6pm to 6am...we even take a survivor's photo in the morning. It was a blast. They had a casino inside, bond movies playing all night, live bands (Noah and the Whale played!), a carousel, and a ton of food and drink. See next photo...I stayed the whole night, and had a choir rehearsal at 10am the next morning. Interesting day on very little sleep. However, as soon as I caught up on my sleep, Suicide Sunday happened. Suicide Sunday is the day that everyone in the university is done with exams, so a lot of the colleges host garden parties with pimms, bbq's, and just a lot of sun. I got burnt, but I had an absolutely wonderful time. Oi...I have one more May Ball to attend on Wednesday night, and the dress code is white tie (Wikipedia it). The choir records this weekend, and I will provide information for all of you as to how to find the recording after it is finished...I know it will be on itunes, but not sure what is going to be called yet. I leave a week from today to return to the States, and will be back in KC for a couple of days before I return to Arkansas for the month of July to spend time with the family and help at Praiseworks. I will then go back to KC for the end of July on to try and find a job and study for the GRE so that I can get into grad school. Okay, so that's it for now, but I hope that all of you are doing well, and know that I miss you tremendously. This year has provided me with the most amazing opportunities to study with the brightest people on the planet, sing in an amazing choir in one of the historic chapels in Cambridge, I have travelled Europed and toured it with the choir, I am to record and be on an album with the choir, I have gone to balls, dinners, and formals with Lords and Ladies, Vicars, Bishops, Presidents of the Colleges, and even the Vice-chancellor of the university. All in all, I think that this has been a year well spent. I have made friends here that will last a lifetime, and I can't wait to come back to visit them all. Tiddly-pip and what what...Cheerio!
