Hiya!
Greetings from Plymouth, England! It’s Caroline Oswalt and
Geraldine (my dragon) checking in.

| Geraldine! |
After nearly 3 months here I’m now reaching the final
hurdles of my semester abroad. It’s been so incredible to spend this time away
from UNCG but I’m ready come home to the nice weather in North Carolina.

Last Thursday was Thanksgiving, which was quite interesting
being that Plymouth is probably one of the least likely places to celebrate
this particular holiday. Luckily I am fortunate enough to live with some of the
greatest people there are who made my favorite holiday, which is meant to be
spent with family, tolerable. We made a
meal of chicken, mash potatoes, green beans, and homemade drop biscuits. The
meal with finished with apple pie and ice cream just like a true Oswalt family
Thanksgiving.

Leaving
my family was the hardest thing I’ve done in my life. I mean, in Greensboro I’m
a short drive back to my home in Matthews but here I’m thousands of miles away
and 5 hours ahead making it hard to find time to skype back at home. In just 3
weeks I’ll be reunited with my parents and sister when we travel around Europe
for the Christmas holiday.

Well, that’s about all. I have to get back to my editing
bay, I have 2 more short films due by the last day of term.
Cheers!
