Hello :)
So, I am out of external hard drive space, and my computer has just surpassed its 7th birthday, so things do not work like they normally do, so I will be returning to writing for a bit until I get a new computer or another external hard drive.
I find writing very beneficial. I tend to enjoy doing it late at night, that is when inspiration comes to me often. So often, in fact, that I keep a notebook, pen and my phone by my bed so I can write down what ever comes to my mind. The entire time I was abroad I kept a journal, that I will be able to cherish for the rest of my life. It was an addition to the vlogs, because there were somethings I didn't vlog so I wrote about those times instead.
Therefore, the next couple weeks, I will be posting between 5-7 entires a week. There are a lot of things that I have learned this year that I am just now realizing. Some of the entires will be shorter than others, but that is how life goes, some days are filled to the brim with excitement, others not so much.
Finally, I will be going on a cross country road trip in a few short weeks to get back to school, there will definitely be posts every day about that followed by one longish video montage/ documentary at the end.
So, those are the reasons for the lack of vlogs. :( I wish that I could be doing more of that this summer, but this will have to do instead.
If you haven't been told yet, you are beautiful and loved :)
Love,
Chrissy

I'm finally here!! (London Pt 1)
Now, it is time to have tea with the Queen. Can you actually do that? I wonder how much money someone would pay to sit down and have tea with the queen. Or Prince Harry, I'm fine with that as well! Really anyone Royal. HECK! I'll have tea with the corgis...
Anyway, I am approaching 24 hours without any sleep, so that is fun! I did get about an hour on the plane. The plane right was really smooth and easy, just really long. I was able to watch multiple movies including Despicable Me 2. One of my favorites.
Luckily there was no one sitting in the middle seat. That was nice, until the guy on the end decided to use it as a storage space. We were served dinner, tea, breakfast, and then more tea. For dinner, we had a choice of chicken Curry or pasta. I chose the pasta. It was a cheesey broccoli pasta which was okay for airplane food. We then had salad (DELICIOUS!) as well as bread (Kinda frozen) and AMAZING apple cheesecake, which I saved and ate with my tea. I tried to get some sleep after that, but it was so hard because it did not feel like it was that late, and it was uncomfortable. I got about an hour in the end. I was happy that most of the ride it was dark because I didn't really want to see us flying over the Atlantic.
Ireland looked beautiful (from what I could see) and I really would love to go live there for a while as well. By the time we got to Ireland, I could barely sit still and my face was almost pressed against the glass. I am thankful to here though.
The longest part was the line for crossing the border. They started off with 4 people, then there was 1 for a bit, then two, and finally they got back up to four. The man took all my papers, asked a couple questions and that was that. While in line, I talked to a very nice older couple who were going to the Canary Islands. They were pretty excited about that, but shared with me that they would have liked to be in London for a couple days. After border control, I headed through the, what seemed like countless, escalators to collect my bag. After that I found the guy that was HOLDING A SIGN WITH MY NAME ON IT!! Unfortunately, I was not able to get a picture, and am kicking myself for it, but as soon as we left the airport and got onto the road heading into central London, there were 3 DOUBLE DECKER BUSES in a row and that made it better. I cannot wait to spend these next couple days in London, but I am also excited to head to Brighton.
You're beautiful and loved!

Chrissy

I'm going to England!
Hello,
I am reviving this blog to share with you all that I will be leaving for England in 1 WEEK!! The past two months, from when I found out I got in, to now, has gone by so quickly and I can't believe that a week from now, I will be on a plane to England.
When I arrive, I will be spending a couple days in London for orientation. From there, I will take a train to Brighton, England, where I will be going to the University of Sussex for 6 months.

This is a picture of where I will be staying in reference to London. I will be a total of 4,189 miles away from home (I am 3,000 away from home when I am in Boston)
I will be updating this blog, as well as my youtube channel (youtube.com/betweenthespacestv) while I am there! I am so excited to leave, and arrive in what I will call home for the next 6 months. :) There is so much still to do before I leave, but that is for another blog post!
That's all for today :)
You are beautiful and loved :)
Love,
Chrissy
