So today was my last day here in London.. I'm depressed about it. But, I'm going to reminisce here in the form of bullet points. It has been an era, and it's really been one of the best times of my life. I've seen a lot, ate a lot.. did other things. You know. This post is pretty anticlimactic. Mostly because I'm bummed to leave, and thinking about everything I did makes me a little sad and I haven't even left yet.
Also, this list is not comprehensive.. if I listed everything you'd probably hate me, or quit reading after thi-

I'm not going back to Minnesota immediately.. I'll be in NYC for four days and then I'll be heading home.
London, it's been a wonderful four months. I'll miss you.
