Cockroaches & Reese's Pieces

Hey there loving family, friends and people who have accidently stumbled upon my blog. It’s the 27^th Sept, Friday evening in the deep south of America and I’m in my “Mom’s” little southern home listening to the dogs howling outside and enjoy some American TV for the first time since I got here. These two weeks are busy, relaxing, exciting, calming, relatively stressful and exhilarating all at the same time. I’m absolutely loving having Mum and Tim here and I’m reviling in it before I’m dragged back to University and back to my lectures where I spend many classes longing to be back in the days where my biggest concern would  be who’d be able to produce the most life like penguin through the medium of finger painting. Exams are approaching, next Thursday the 4^th October to be precise but I’ve been revising regularly and paying attention in class so hopefully I’ll do ok. Wish me luck! The exams are sandwiched between two seriously exciting events. Tomorrow I’m heading off on a road trip with my parents to Charleston, South Carolina for two days. The home town of the fantastic 1920s and less than a week later I’ll be setting off on a 12 hour road trip to New York. Updates here: well, Mum has become addicted to diet coke and Reeces Pieces and this morning there was the world’s biggest and scariest cockroach in the bathroom. I just knew it was plotting to kill me so I sought revenge by getting Tim to trap it in a cup. That was as brave as he got. It’s still in the cup.  All is good though in Laura Land, despite the roaches. Catch y’all later!
