First Trip - Short Post

Hello everyone,

Quick update here. I've just finished my first paper for the semester. I've written about the relationship between news and foreign policy, and how the media can affect policy. It was just a short paper and really just an extended book review but with everything else that's been going on it's been hard to focus on it so it seemed a lot more difficult than it should have been.

Tomorrow morning I leave for Edinburgh, Scotland. I booked this trip mostly to clear my head, but also because I've always heard great things about Edinburgh and have wanted to go. I'm going alone, but that just gives me the ability to do whatever I want to. I walked around London for a few days last summer on my own and had a good time so I'm hoping it will be the same.

Also, in late October I'll be flying to London to see my mom for a weekend. We're going to Paris for a day trip and then visiting the surrounding area of London so I'm really looking forward to that trip. Other than that, things are getting better. I finally have my financial aid figured out, and classes are interesting. I'm also making friends with some people in my classes which is helpful. Sarah and I are talking again as well, in a sort of trial friendship thing that's hard to explain.

I am looking forward to Christmas break more than I ever have before though, and can't wait to be home in Kansas for a while to see all my friends and family.
