You Can't Stop the Beat

Ok...two days, one blog post. Easy enough since not a whole lot was accomplished.

Yesterday the entire group went down to the Tower of London. I went there two summers ago when I was here with my family and its kinda a "been there, seen that" kind of experience (for me at least) but it was still fun to hang out with my friends. I did notice how much of a tourist attraction it is and how little history is actually there. It's sad really...


Outside of the White Tower.

Just guarding the Tower of London.

Pretty much everyone stayed in the center after dinner last night because we had a paper due today and a quiz to take in class, plus a book that we all had to finish. Needless to say everyone had some work to do. About tenish a group of us decided to see a movie since students go for 3.50 on Monday nights (I love being a student in this city). We picked Star Trek which was oddly entertaining even though I know nothing about Star Trek. It was definitely a good study break.

Today was class as usual but then Rachel, Jordan, and I went back to the National Gallery to finish up looking at all of the paintings we missed the first time (its a really big place). After dinner we went to Hairspray with Jenny, Rachel (the other Rachel), and Brittany which was a super fun show...much better than the movie. It was a really fun night...complete with singing on the way home and making people in the tube stop probably think we were drunk haha.

Outside of the theater for Hairspray!

Since today is my mom's birthday I want to make a little shout out to her. I was looking for pictures and I realized that I don't have very many with her because she is always behind the scenes. She does so much for me and our family...I don't know what I would do without her. I love her so much and I hope she knows how much I appreciate her. Love you mom!

My beautiful flowers after they had time to bloom.

I love you, too! Thank you. Also, I'm glad you found a surf shop, even if there were no surfer dudes.
