This is my first week in London.

Okay not really. It's not my first week here, it's my last week here. With studying, and finals, and packing, and missing friends, it is already starting to become overwhelming and stressful.   I've been trying to study this morning, which means that my mind is everywhere else! I've done a lot of thinking. I have done so much in the past three months and have gotten to see so many amazing things.  But somewhere over those three months, it seems as if living in London has lost its "specialness."  It no longer amazes me to be walking down the street and suddenly see Big Ben or St. Paul peek over a building!
I suppose that's completely normal when you live in a place for three months. But I don't want it to be normal. Even though this is the last week here, I'm going to look at everything like it is the first time I've ever seen it. Despite having finals and getting ready to go home, I want to appreciate everything little thing.  I don't want to take any second of the next week for granted, from walking past the Queen's mansion to getting on the tube to go my favorite park. I know I'm going to miss every detail about London, so I'm going to take advantage of it while I can!
Yes, this is going to feel like my first week in London again.
