Welcome to my Bog!

My name is Lauren, and I am a junior at Gettysburg College. I am currently on a European journey in England, which I know will turn out to be one of the greatest adventures of my life! I'm excited to share my experiences with you, so you can get a sense of what I'm going through in England.
Oh and the name of my blog is inspired by my Bostonian roots, which has caused me to use the word wicked in excess.

A Great weekend in Bath:

     This weekend Sam came to visit Bath! It was so much fun! We walked around and went to the Christmas market, and did some British things, like going to pubs... I felt bad because I have to say, I was tired all weekend because of the traveling I've done recently and I just haven't had a lot of time to rest but I was so excited that Sam came to visit!
     Another cool part of the weekend was that we had an ASE house-crawl, where each night we went to someone's house and had a themed party. Thursday was Christmas and Pirates themed, Friday was Fratty themed, and Saturday we crawled to two houses. It was so fun getting together as an entire group and just hanging out. Because some of us live about 30 minutes away, it's not always convenient to get together. But it was so worth it because we had a great time!
     My house was themed Harry Potter (obviously) and it was AMAZING! We decorated everything in house colors and dressed like it was Christmas at Hogwarts. Ironically enough, the house across from us was American themed so it was like we went from England to America! We also made butterbeer, the yummiest drink ever. We used ice cream, butterscotch candy and cream soda topped off with caramel liqueur. I will have to make this recipe again once I get home. Across the street we drank apple pie shots with whipped cream and cinnamon!
      With that being said, I'm so sad that I only have one week left. It's flown by and I'm not sure I'm ready to return to the U.S. Of course there are things I'm looking forward to like seeing my friends and going back to school and Christmas and driving. But I've learned so much here and it's going to be hard readapting to American life.
Here are some awesome pictures from the weekend!
My favorite view of Bath.
