Well, I'll be leaving jolly ol' England tomorrow. I've had a lot of fun here. I traveled all over this island and saw a whole lot of really amazing things and I'm ready to go home now. I'm actually really excited to be heading home tomorrow. I've missed my apartment, my roommate, my dog, my family, my BlackBerry, and my bed for far too long now. These are a few of my favorite things to be sure.
Today was my last day in England and it really wasn't the most friendly weather-wise. It was cold and drizzly all day which made it very unpleasant to do any of the sort of tourist-type things I would have liked to have done. I got a bit of sightseeing in nonetheless so I'm satisfied. Overall, It's been a really great time and I will definitely be coming back across the ocean again very soon.
At any rate, I showed the 9-year-old son of the family that I am staying with how to start a blog so that he may publish his art. Let me tell you, he was absolutely ecstatic. Then I helped him figure out how to upload some videos he'd made to YouTube so that he can show all of his friends. He thought that was the coolest thing ever. He was so excited. Kids are uncannily intelligent and so very quick to learn.
I also happened upon an old classic on YouTube which really took me back and made me smile. That's right: Star Wars Gansta Rap!
Well, I won't bore you by droning on about my day. Nothing too terribly exciting happened today. I'll ensure that doesn't happen tomorrow ;) But, I'll leave you with this video of Steve Jobs giving a commencement address for the Stanford graduating class of 2005. Jobs speaks of the importance of trusting your intuition to make those decisions in life where conventional wisdom tells you to follow the popular, well-beaten path through life even though your heart tells you something different. I find that it's quite inspirational and I hope you will too.
