The End?

Well my dear reader, it is time for my reign to come to an end. Hey now don't be sad, we all knew this was coming. Look on the bright side, usually when the reign of a king ends it’s because they died. And on the brighter side, both King Charles' were murdered... So I think I'm doing alright. Oh come on look at you! You're still lying back with your feet propped up! Have you been like this for the past three months? Don't you have a job? When I told you to get comfortable in my first post I didn't mean stay that way permanently. It's time to return to reality, my friend. And I guess I'll have to do the same, how unfortunate. Well at least I was able to escape it for a little while. I'll have to go back to actual school, find a big boy job, and scariest of all I need to figure out who to vote for... Yikes!

I want to thank you my dear reader for reading this blog and putting up with my rambling on (and those first few posts which weren't as good). Every comment and email I received about all my posts has been greatly appreciated. I really enjoyed writing this blog and sharing my adventure with you. Who knows, maybe I'll revive this blog when I embark upon my next adventure. Next adventure you ask? Of course! I don't know what it'll be or when it'll happen but that's part of the excitement. All I know is that there will be one, of this I am certain. 

And now I'm going to brag on myself a little bit because it's my blog and I can do that! If you remember from my Art post you might recall that one of the classes I took in London was an art history and drawing class. Every other week we had class with a local London artist, Andy Pankhurst, who would teach us about the practical side of art. I made a huge improvement from the first class and now my dear reader I will share my beautiful drawing with you (how lucky)! Each one is paired with the art I drew from in the gallery, enjoy! (don't worry, it's only the good ones)

And of course, a couple last minute pics for your enjoyment. 

My mates and I went to a England vs The Netherlands soccer game (that's right, I said soccer!)

We got distracted while trying to take a group photo because England was close to scoring... they didn't and they lost.

I saw the changing of the guard with a few thousand of my closest friends. It was cool but really LONG!

An American hero once said, "life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look around for a while, you could miss it." I'm glad I've been able to do that for the past three months, and now, back to the real world. I sure am going to miss this place, its been quite the adventure indeed. 

Long Live the King
