Summer wrapped up really quickly for me. After spending some time at the cabin (I got my first sunburn of the summer... bummer), I came back for about one more week of lifeguarding. Unless something goes horribly wrong, I'm done working at the Y (forever??). It was good for the first few years but the last few... not so much. It's good to be done.
On Monday the 16th, I took the practical exam for my EMT course and PASSED! That's great and all that, but I still had to take the written test. Well, I got that scheduled for Friday the 20th (yes, two days before I leave for four months. Good planning, eh?). I found out today that I PASSED that one too! So now I'm certified as an EMT. Exciting, eh?
Well, that's not nearly the most exciting thing that's going on. Yesterday, my mom and I left the USA for some travelling in London and Ireland! We landed in the London-Heathrow this morning at 7:45 GMT (so 1:45 CT), then took the rest of the day to explore a bit of London. As chance would have it, we were able to grab some tickets for a tour of the state rooms of Buckingham Palace. Definitely an awesome thing to see.
Apart from the palace, we spent the day doing some walking around. We went to this massive "department" store, Harrods, where you could find literally anything you could imagine. It was HUGE -- I'd say it is the closest thing you'd find to the Mall of America. Afterwards, we took our time getting home, enjoying a nice evening in Hyde Park.
A nice walk in Hyde Park.
And for tomorrow? We'll just wait and see what happens!
