A fun little walk
I just got back from walking to the Westminster area with Keely and Kristen. We had so much fun! We stopped at Buckingham Palace and Big Ben and Parliament and just took a ton of pictures. It was quite a trek getting there let me tell you. I am so glad that I wore my tennis because I would have been complaining after a little while! :) I just absolutely love it here. I am still in awe of all of the buildings and places that I get to see whenever I want. That is so amazing to me that I can just walk over to see Big Ben one night. Wow! I am going to miss it so much here!
So after I blogged on Monday night, me and Keely went to Hyde Park and walked/jogged/ran. It was so much fun. I did realize that I was way out of shape though. I definately need to work on that! I just love the park. It is so beautiful. Everyone goes there at night and just sits in the grass or walks through the park. There are a lot of trees and flowers and monuments to see. It never gets old! Tuesday I went to morning class and then grabbed Starbucks with Kristen and then went to afternoon class at the Tate Britain. Let's just say that me and my classmates had a little but of a problem getting there. :) We were over 30 mins late because we took the wrong tube! WOOPS~! THe museum was cool but it was not my favorite. I really love the Impressionist art and there wasn't any there. It was actually kind of boring listening about the same thing for 2 hours! That night I went to Hyde Park with Kristen and walked around. We went and played in tthe Princess Diana fountain. THe water was freezing which felt so good because it has been massive hot here for a couple of weeks! The rest of the night I chilled in my room and talked with friends. Oh! I also booked my trip to Greece!! I am leaving Wednesday the 8th and not coming back till Sunday the 11th!! It's just me and three of my besties here. I am so excited and so ready to lay out on a beach! Let me tell you, London is not very kind to the pale people. I think it just makes us paler!! Today we went to the National Gallery for class and listened to our teacher talk for 2 and a half hours. I think I learned how to sleep with my eyes open! At least I got to see some Impressionism after class was over-Renoir, Monet, Manet, CAlleboite, and Degas! I just loved it! After the museum, me and Kristen met with Krystal and Erin and went to eat at the Texas Embassy! That's my third time. O boy do I love Mexican food! Tonight is going to be a catch up on sleep night. I always seem to go to bed so late, but not tonight!

Wow has it been a long time soince I blogged..
Thursday was a not so great day. I had our final paper due on Friday and I worked ALL day long on it except during class. For class we went to the Museum of London: Docklands. It was so cool! I just loved seeing all of the stuff and I really loved being over in that area. THe rest of the night was spent procrastinating and finally finishing my paper around 4 AM when the sun was up and the birds were chirping. Let me just tell you, that is not a good feeling. Friday was finals and turned in my paper. I hope I did good. Friday afternoon I went to Thorpe Park with Courtney and Kate. We had such a fun time; I miss roller costers so so bad!!! Friday night me and Courtney went to Pizza Hut and just hung out and then watched Shawn of the Dead with Hans, Krystal, and Kristen. Saturday I woke up early to say gooodbye to Courtney, which was so so sad. I miss her and want her to come back. Later I went to the Giraffe with Hans, Krystal, Kristen, and Max. When we got back we hung out outside until Hans and Max had to leave. This was even sadder. I dont like to say goodbye to people. It was so so sad. When I got back upstairs at 11:30 I went to bed and slept until 4, which was wonderful! I got up and went to dinner with Kristen and then hung out in her room with her until Krystal woke up around 11. I spent the rest of the night hanging out and watching some Alias, which really makes me happy. I know it sounds like a lot of laying around in the room, but I was so tired that I needed some catch up time. Sunday was the last day of catch up time and I slept until 1. THe rest of the afternoon I hung out and watched some more Alias..:) That night, me and Krystal and Kristen went to Planet Hollywood. We had such a fun time. We laughed all night long at different songs we kept requesting from the DJ and the waiter that kept watching us. After that we went to go Suv shopping. (Dont worry mom, I didnt spend anymore money!) So now we are back to today! This morning I started my new class, British Art and Architecture. I am going to absolutely love this class! We only spend like 3 days in class out of like 15. We get to go to so many museums! I am so so excited!!!! This afternoon I went to get lunch with Dawson and then came back to do laundry . I also had to take my box to ship home to the post office. O boy was that ever an adventure!!! It was such a hassle. I first of all had to carry this 30 pound box to the post office, then stand in line to be told I had to go buy tape, then I had to sit in the middle of the floor and tape of this box and put 27 stamps on it, then spent way too much money to send something just to my house! Now I am hanging out in my room planning out what to do for the next three weeks! I cant believe its almost finished. I am going to miss it here so so so much!

W.I.C.K.E.D.
Wicked is by far the greatest play ever. I had heard such great things about it, but it was even better than I thought. I did not even fall asleep once! (Which is saying a whole lot.) I bought way way too much at the Suv store but thats ok. I definately think it was worth it! The "Defying Gravity" part was by far my favorite! It is so amazing! I think that I'm going to watch it on YOUTUBE again right now. Actually I should prob start working on my paper thats due Friday since I was supposed to work on it today but ended up just laying around. I am definately going to be dreaming about Wicked tonight!
