Crunchies, rocky, cape rose, and Koala Cookies

So I'm in England!
The flight over was oh-so-lucky first class fantastic! I was so exhausted from not having slept for 48 hours...I slept the whole way. Once we landed, I got the Gatwick Express to London Victoria, then from there to Canterbury. There was a short taxi ride to the campus, and my taxi driver was this incredible lovely guy to didn't grumble when lifting my ridiculously heavy stuff into the trunk. And then the glorious reunion I've been dreaming about for the past few weeks happened! I ran into Sam's arms and we spent the next 5 hours laughing and cuddleling. Yes, it was nauseating to anyone withing a 5 mile radius, but like we cared.
Sam and I ate lunch in the cafeteria. The campus is incredibly beautiful, and has a point that overlooks all of Canterbury. I'll be sure to post pictures. I've been sleeping so much because of jet lag and exhaustion, but I'll be settled into the schedule of things before too long.
My plans for today include:
  • clean the dorm room and pack everything (mostly Sam's stuff) because we leave tomorrow
  • eat stuff (I need the energy)
  • try to Skype family/friends back home
  • finally go hoop!!!
Although I'm very sleepy, I'm really trying to force myself to not sleep until nighttime and get up in the morning.
Sam's gifts for me are incredible. He got my a gorgeous jewelry box filled with 3 dichroic glass necklaces and a matching set of earrings. They are absolutely breathtaking and I looove them. He also got me a beautiful sterling silver chain for my amber necklace that he had gotten for me from Turkey for my birthday.
I'm incandescently happy and can't wait to share more of my adventures.
