Bye Bye Bath... Hello Hilton!

Before backtracking to tell you all about my final week in Bath, I just want to inform you that I was suppose to be home on Saturday. However, due to Britain's inexperience with snow (10cm of snow to be exact), I am stuck at the Hilton in the Heathrow Airport because of canceled flights, closed airports, etc. However, I hopefully will be on a plane tomorrow at 14:40ish (give or take five hours with delays) flying home. 

On Friday (which now seems ages ago), ASE put on their last event for us - the final tea. The event was beautifully put on and the tea was wonderful. We had endless pots of tea, loads of sandwiches, delicious scones, and fantastic cakes. After the large quantities of food, Jonathan (our programme director) gave a speech thanking us for a great first semester as a director. He then finished the event with a slideshow of the semester, including the Halloween picture of our Ghosts and Ghothic class. I seriously cannot wait to get that photo. Afterwards, everyone spent time mingling, taking pictures, and saying goodbye.

My education class and Andrew Butterworth!


The room is empty....

Afterward the tea, Erin and I went back to the flat for one last time, to finish package and headed to grab our coach into Heathrow. We spent the night at the Hilton before waking up early the night morning to catch our flight... which never happened. Instead, we spent ten long tedious hours at the airport waiting to see if our flight would leave... which it never did. So, at 9pm, after learning our flight would not leave, we headed back to the Hilton to see if we could get a room. However, they were all booked for that night, but if we stayed, the nice man at the front desk said we might be able to early check in for the next day (which we did have reservations for). So, down on the floor of the Hilton lobby we went. Finally at 3:30am, we were able to do a very early check in for our room. It was so nice to collapsed upon a bed.
