Today was a lot of fun. I had my first real class today and loved listening to the history of London. It is such an incredible city and I love hearing about all the things that it has survived and conquered. The rest of the day was filled with napping and going to the Giraffe for lunch. Tonight we went to a local hang out with a bunch of kids from school and had a really good time. Now its to bed.

the second first day of school

Today was the first day of The History of London and I absolutely loved it!! Our teacher is so funny and we are going to be spending most of our time in London on field trips and such so I am so excited. The rest of the day was spent hanging out around Atlantic House and planning for the rest of our time here. Tonight is the sign up for these session's activities and then later tonight we are going to Imperial for a welcoming party for the newbies. I hope to get to bed relatively early tonight!

The Globe, The Tower of London, Harrods, and so much more

Once again this has been a crazy week and it has been hard to find time to update my blog. I know that there are so many people that just sit around and wait for whatever I am going to say next. :) Well to catch everyone up, Wednesday was a really crazy day. At school we went to Harrods on a field trip and our teacher bought us shakes at the chocolate bar. He is the sweetest thing ever and I am going to miss him so much as my teacher! After that, Krystal and I just hung out around the room until time for the play and then we all headed to the Globe to MacBeth. It was so so weird at first! :) We walked into the theater and we had to get under these huge black sheets with holes in it for our heads. We looked like really weird puppets without bodies. I had a really hard time at first but then I laughed so so hard and really liked it. We took so many pictures because we looked so funny! The play was really cool. I didn't enjoy all of the blood that was everywhere, including my face! The best thing about the play was the CUTE Scottish king. We giggled like Jr. High girls!
Thursday we didnt do a whole lot. Lion King was too expensive so we didn't end up going so me, Cass, Krystal, and Hans walked around Piccadilly circus looking for souvenirs for Cass and did not find very much at all. On our way home we went and got some Ben & Jerrys ice cream and I ate a whole pint by myself. It was so wonderful and delicous!
Friday was a great day. I finally finished with my marketing class. I took my final and it was so hard! I actually fell asleep during the test. How bad is that?! Later me, Cass, Krystal, and Kristen all went to the Tower of London. It was so amazing! So much history and beauty in the stones. The crown jewels are so amazing. I still can't believe that I got to see them! Me, Krystal, and Kristen came back and took a 3 hr nap. Later we got up and took Peter with us to Pancake House for second dinner! It was great. I got some weird flan looking "apple pie". It was kind of weird. After that Peter just hung out with us in our room and then we had to say goodbye to him because he left early Saturday morning. It is so sad to make friends with so many people and then have to say goodbye so soon.
Saturday me, Kristen, and Krystal went to Harrods, H&M, and some other stores shopping. We thought about buying a hamster from the pet store but we decided not to. Later that night we went to Princess Diana's favorite restaurant and had a really good time with our family. Cassie and I went to Piccadilly Circus and did some good souvenir shopping. I got some good stuff for my friends. Later we relaxed and watched Winning London and went to bed.
Today was one of the funnest days so far. Me, cass, Krystal, and Kristen all went to Oxford and had a great time laughing and shopping and taking pictures. We stayed for a really long time and then got delayed at the train station becasue someone had been hit by the train and was killed.
Tonight we went to the Texas Embassy and had a great dinner! Cassey is going home in the moring and we are going to miss her so so so much!

Deep Sea Fishing

Courtney, Keely, and Julia being very very silly.

Look I am holding up the world!!

Me, Courtney, and Keely!

So today we went to the NAtural History Museum to the Deep Sea Exhibit. It was ok, personally I was bored, but apparently everyone else liked it. :) There were such weird animals there and it was really dark and it hurt my eyes the whole time. After that we headed over to get Lion King tickets, but they were sold out, so we are going to have to wait until Thursday to go see. I can't wait!!! I am so so so so excited. Tonight we have just hung around the room watching some tv shows on the internet and listening to music and just being really silly! I am already ready for bed and am going to watch me a NCIS: Los Angelos episode! Night!

A relaxing day...

Yesterday was a chill day spent by working on my paper that was due today. It only took me a couple of hours so it wasn't too bad. It's crazy to think that I actually have to do school while I'm here right?! Well after some work I went to whole foods with Becky Jo, Lindsay, Julia, and Courtney and got a pretty good pizza. After that we went to H&M again, which I am totally and unhealthfully addicted to. I got a few things and then went to Rymans for aanother converter cuz I lost my first one. The rest of the after noon was spent relaxing in the room, working on my paper, and talking to Kristen and Courtney. Later that night we watched Finding Nemo and I go to hang out with Keeley, Julia, and courtney some more. We had so much fun and laughed so so hard! Im still waiting to hear exactly what we are doing today but I can't wait to go exploring. I am getting a little tired of my room!:)
