A Run in Richmond Park...

An open plain laid before me with blades of grass of varying hues.
The road before me was made of lightly packed dirt.
As I began running, I took in what was around me.
In a nearby tree I could see a group neon green birds surveying the land.
The wind began blowing, humming its soft song slowly into my ears.
As I continued running, deer's roamed freely about; some were busy grazing the open fields, others were at play.
I came upon a body of water as blue as the morning sky.
Swans, ducks and geese swam eagerly about the pond.
As I got closer, a path opened up with a row of trees leading the way.
Curiosity beckoned me to press on.
I continued to run and came upon a field filled with dogs frolicking about.
In the distance you could hear a woodpecker working his craft meticulous and methodically.
The sun was slowly beginning to set and I began running faster.
A hill was on the horizon and my feet were beginning to become tired, but I pressed on.
Upon reaching the top of the hill, in the faraway distance the city of London laid before me.
I stopped for a few moments to take in its beauty and watched as the sun slowly set.
I turned back around and ran back in the direction from which I came, only leaving behind London and my own footsteps...

A Band of Brothers

"THE CLOCK IS TICKING, DAN, THE CLOCK!" I hear being screamed by my suite mates at all hours of the day and night.
Let us just say we are tight niche of friends, brothers really.
We are always getting on each other's cases about everything.
We spend an enormous amount of time hanging out in the suite, with everything from video games to cooking.
When it comes to video games we get really competitive, often times screaming at the TV when the game doesn't go our way.
Cooking is always an interesting event in our suite.
Heck the other day, we spent over two hours just gobbling down bacon and pancakes!
Yesterday we spent the entire day watching football on NFL Red Zone.
Earlier in the week we had all placed bets on who we thought was going to win each game.
At the end of the semester whomever has the most wins will win the money and a portion of the money will go towards an end of semester party.
Let us just say there were many victory cheers as there were walks of shame!
Later in the semester we are also planning to go to various concerts, sports events and other related venues.
Overall, it has been a really fun semester thus far and I cannot wait to see what comes out of it!
