Mkay...
I've been resting up since my exhausting trip to the moors. The next day, I just basically slept all day. Also, I did a lot of resting on Monday.
Yesterday was a bit more eventful, though. I went to Leicester Square to get tickets for Oliver. I finally found some that were reasonably priced. Then I went to Buckingham Palace and watched the changing of the guard. That was pretty exciting for a few minutes, but it did get a tad redundant after a while. We are lucky enough to be here during the 8 weeks (the only 8 weeks) out of the year that Buckingham Palace is open for tours, so I stood in line for about an hour for a ticket and went it. I cannot describe how beautiful it was. Unfortunately, I can't show you because the queen doesn't want us to have pictures of her house. Buckingham Palace looks huge, but in reality, it's even huger because most of it is underground. No joke. I walked around like a hillbilly, staring up at the ceiling and even gasping sometimes. As I walked up the staircase, I pretended that I was going there for a party (lol) in a fancy dress and shoes. Anyway, it was more special than all the other random palaces and castles they drag you to over here because in those, they're like "This is where Henry VIII did this blah blah blah." But here, at Buckingham Palace, they were like "This is where the queen holds her ball every year." It just seems more special because it's still in use, and someone we've actually seen on tv uses it instead of some abstract historical figure.
So anyway, afterwards I met Bobby for dinner and I went to Oliver, and he went to Phantom. Oliver was really good even though they changed the story around a lot.
Today Bobby and I went to the Globe tour, and we bought tickets for As You Like It for £5. Then we went to St. Paul's and back to campus for dinner.
I've got a really eventful weekend coming up. Tomorrow the class is going to Bath. Friday a group of us is going to Paris for the day. Saturday Bobby and I (and maybe some more) are going to Canterbury and Dover. I'll let you know how it goes.
Love.

The Best Trip Ever
I've just had the most wonderful experience of my life this weekend. I've done things I never thought I would do--seen things I never thought I would see. I'm a different person now because of the experiences I've had this weekend. Let me start with the boring stuff...
We went to Stonehenge. It was okay, but there's not really anything to say about it--we saw it, we walked around it, then we left. It was cold and rainy. Here's a picture of me with it.
Then we went to Salisbury Cathedral. I'm not even going to post any pictures of that. It's beautiful, and it's kind of cool because they have one of the four original copies of the Magna Carta, but other than that, it was no big deal, really.
Professor Rutledge, Bobby, Ben, Rebecca, Shradha, Miranda, and I left the group and got a train to Haworth instead of returning to London. For those of you who don't know, Haworth is the home of the Brontes, and it's literally the ends of the earth. We had to get a train to Leeds, then a train from there to Keighley, then get a taxi to a hostel in Haworth to even get close to the Bronte house. Then we had to walk up cobblestoned hills to see the parsonage where they grew up and lived. They've turned the parsonage into a wonderful museum dedicated to the Brontes; they have the actual couch Emily died on! Needless to say, I was speechless and emotional when I was there. They also had some costumes from the most recent Wuthering Heights adaptation, including the Heathcliff outfit that Tom Hardy wore. They had Charlotte's dresses and gloves, locks of her hair, her shoes....everything really. Here I am in front of it.
Now this is where it gets exciting. Our destination was Top Withens, the supposed inspiration for Wuthering Heights. However, they told us it would take more time than we had to walk there, so we opted to stop at Bronte falls and return, so we could catch our train. We somehow got on the wrong footpath to the falls (let me take this opportunity to say that you cannot drive to the falls. Thankfully, they have not developed this area, and the moors are just as lonely and isolated as when Jane Eyre and Catherine Linton wandered on them. When trying to define the moors, I said, "They are the complete and total absense of everything"). This wrong footpath led us to places I never thought I'd go. Through sheep farm after sheep farm, crawling through fencing, climbing over ladders, traipsing through sheep poop, mud, bogs, creeks. It was the most pastoral I've ever been, and ever want to be for that matter. I wasn't miserable though, and in fact, I later asked Bobby if I had been whiny or acted like a diva and he said no, but he had been waiting on when I would start. The trek to the moors made Hazard look like a metropolis, and I got closer to sheep than anyone besides a shepherd should. I had a sheep bah in my face! The hills were beasts, but through some miracle, I kept up with everyone. Here's me (pretending to be) lost on the moors.
When we realized the error of our ways, we climbed up to the footpath we were supposed to be on and soon after that, found Bronte Falls. It was beautiful, and I just couldn't believe I was actually there. Where they used to go as children and make up stories. It really is just like the books make it sound--a lonely, scary place but with a certain romantic quality that attracts people. It's always in the back of your mind that if something were to happen to you (like, I don't know, being attacked by sheep) no one would be able to get to you to help you, and even though I was with a group of 7, I somehow felt so alone. I lay in the grass next to the falls, and I was so happy. I didn't need any outside sources to be happy, just me and my surroundings. I really loved it there, and I want to go back. Here are some pictures of the falls.
This is me on what they call Bronte Bridge. Obviously their only claim to fame is the Brontes...

Obviously their only claim to fame is the Brontes...After we walked back, through a much easier way than the one we came on, we took the steam engine to Keighley and from there back to London. It was a long, difficult trip, but totally worth every second. Here's me hanging my head out of the steam train.
Anyway, it was a great weekend. Probably the best I could ever hope to have. Today, I'm just hanging around campus and catching up on some homework and studying.
Love as always.

Out of Town
In a matter of moments, I will be leaving London for Stonehenge and Salisbury. I'm leaving Salisbury for Haworth, home of the Brontes. I'll think about you all when I'm wandering around on the moors like Jane Eyre, and I promise to tell you everything about it when I get back tomorrow night. Of course, there will be pictures involved.
Love.
Love.

Today
Today was fun.
I feel as though I start off every post that way, but each day usually is fun.
I woke up and went to class, found out I got a 98 on my first paper, and watched Pride and Prejudice (with the class). Then I went by my self to Covent Garden for some shopping and walking around. I went to Marks and Spencer and H&M then down to the Piazza and the Apple Market. I browsed around before going to Trafalgar Square where I just sat and looked around and thought. Alone time is very valuable these days since I'm almost always with someone. I've grown accustomed to being alone with my thoughts quite often after living alone for a year. It was nice to have some quiet time.
I had to come back to campus for our Stonehenge orientation. This weekend, we are going to Stonehenge and Salisbury. It's just a day trip, and some people were talking about going the the moors. Of course I really really want to go (I've dreamt about going there for so long!) but I just don't know if I want to. I think I'd rather go there alone. It's a personal thing for me; something that will mean a lot, and I don't want it lessened because of the people I'm with. Plus I don't know how much it will cost, so I'll make a decision when I know that.
After orientation, Bobby and I went to Kensington Gardens and strolled around in the most beautiful park in the world. It's my new favorite place in London for sure. We saw the Peter Pan statue and some Princess Diana Memorial things--plus lots of trees and birds and dogs.
I've promised you pictures, and here they are:
Kenwood House. The only thing about it relevant to Jane Austen is that they shot the 90's version of Mansfield Park here. Also, it's in Notting Hill, the movie with Hugh Grant.
The theatre where we saw Billy Elliot, the best musical ever. If you notice, most of my pictures are of theatres because most of what I do here is go to plays. Nika, I know you're reading, and I want you to know that you're partly responsible for this. lol
Me and Bobby about to see Billy Elliot!

The really cool Peter Pan statue
That's all for now. Thanks for reading!

The Day
Last night was the best night of my life (okay sort of). Bobby, Caley, and I went to see Billy Elliot, and it was AMAZING! Words can not possibly begin to describe. I laughed; I cried. It definitely deserved all the Tonys it got, and Elton John has outdone himself with the music. I recommend everyone see it if they are in a position to do so.
Today was good if not exciting.
We went to Kenwood House, which is really just a big, fancy house that our professor tried to make relevant to Jane Austen. It was pretty fun even though not really important to anything. I made some new friends, so that alone was worth the bus ride up there. We came back, and Katie and I did laundry. It was nice bonding with her. Later we went to the Tower of London, but we were too late. We're going to go back earlier in the day some other time. I'm not really sure I want to go since I've been there before, and I need to save my money.
Kaitlin (my friend from my last London trip) is coming to London, and I want to be able to hang out with her without worrying about money. I'm so excited about her coming! We're going to see Waiting for Godot, As You Like It at the Globe, go bookshopping, eat at Wagamama, and go to Oxford!
Speaking of Wagamama, Katie and I ate there for dinner. She's going to see Chicago tonight, and we were already in town, so I just hung around and ate with her. Who could pass up Wagamama???? No one.
Tomorrow, I feel like going shopping (even though I said I wanted to save money). I probably won't buy anything, I just love the shops here. Then Thursday, I'm meeting Jeanie for lunch. I'm so excited to see her!
Pictures tomorrow (probably)!
Love.

What you missed before Edinburgh
Lots of exciting things happened before we went to Edinburgh, too, but I didn't get a chance to tell you because of all of the Internet problems. I told you we went to Charles Dickens's house. Here are some pictures from that.
This is the actual writing desk on which he wrote his last words. If you know how I feel about Charles Dickens (and how could you not, really, if you know me at all?), then you know how special this was to me.

If you know how I feel about Charles Dickens (and how could you not, really, if you know me at all?), then you know how special this was to me. The next day, our whole class went to Chawton to where Jane Austen lived and to Winchester, where she died. That trip was really amazing, too. We saw her cottage, some dresses that were actually hers, the table where she wrote, and a quilt that she and her mother and sister had made. She had an amazing garden with beautiful flowers and walking paths (I'm pretty sure the museum people put them in, though). Then we got to see the house where she died (but we didn't get to go in) and her burial place in Winchester Cathedral.

Her bedroom (a recreation, but it's supposedly pretty accurate). This is an actual dress that belonged to her.

Back in London
Okay, so the stars have aligned, and the Internet is working again on our campus--at least for now. I just got back from a nice weekend in Edinburgh, Scotland. The weather was rainy and cold, but I got to wear my green trench! Also, I bought these adorable pink and white striped cashmere fingerless gloves. Our lodging there was much better than ours in London. When we arrived on Friday afternoon (after a 4 or so hour train ride that nearly killed me I believe) we have a very long, sort of boring coach tour of the city. Then we were free to eat dinner and go to sleep. The next day, we went to the castle and to the museum, where they have a real Viking skeleton. That was exciting to me though I don't really understand why. The next day we went to Sir Walter Scott's house, which is right on the Tweed River. It was one of the most peaceful places I've ever been, but my camera was dead, so I'll have to steal pics from a classmate to show you. Edinburgh is a beautiful city, and what I saw of the rest of Scotland was really pretty, too. Here are some pictures of it.

Boo Internet
So Internet is down on campus, so I haven't been able to keep you all updated. I paid a pound for an hour of Internet access at a fast food chicken place down the street, so I'm kind of rused. Yesterday we went to the Charles Dickens house, otherwise known as my favorite place in the world. I will elaborate and post pictures asap. Tomorrow, our whole class is going to Chawton where Jane Austen lived and we're sightseeing around there all kinds of important places in her life. Then on Friday we are going to Scotland for the weekend, so I won't be able to blog again for a while. I'll let you all know how it goes when we get back. I took some really awesome pictures yesterday, so I can't wait for you all to see them.
Love.

More Pictures
Hi friends!
On our way to the theatre.
Today is our first class day, but class doesn't start until 1:30, so I'm in the computer lab with intentions of sharing some pictures with you. Here they are:
The building where I'm staying.
On our way to the theatre.This is the theatre where we saw Waiting for Godot.
This is the poster for the play! I want to go on and on about how awesome it was, but I'll spare you.
Alright, that's all. Bye for now.

Another Day
I'm sitting here reflecting at the end of another day here. It was a really great day. I still haven't seen Caley. I was kind of getting worried, but no one else seems to be, and she's not in the same dorm as Bobby or me, so it's reasonable that we wouldn't see her unless we had specific plans to meet up.
We went with a group to St. Paul's. Bobby and I were planning on going there anyway, and the group came along. The cathedral is beautiful, and the service was very spiritual. Our group however, thought it would be socially acceptable to get up and leave in the middle of it because they were tired of it. Not to mention they were making snide remarks through the whole thing. Bobby and I were irritated and talked about it when we left. We came to the conclusion that we shouldn't be mad or irritated, we should feel sorry for them because they don't know what it's like to love God and have the pleasure of worshipping...especially in a place where people have been worshipping for centuries. I took communion there, and I reflected on how many people have remembered Jesus and the holy sacrament of communion right there where I stood. That's an amazing feeling.
Next it was time for the moment we've been waiting for--Waiting for Godot (with Ian McKellan and Patrick Stewart)!!! It was everything we thought it would be. Seeing such amazing actors perform together is a rare experience. Neither tried to steal the show or be the star; they just continued making each other look good, and they succeeded. It was THE most amazing non musical show I've ever seen. The set was gorgeous and the theatre was very ornate. I'm so glad we got to go.
We came home after that because we're both pretty tired. We at some sandwiches in the room and now we're down here in the computer lab. I'm guessing it won't be long before I crash. Tomorrow, I'll probably just hang around here since we have class. I'm hoping to be one of the smartest, most insightful people in my class. I don't think that will be hard since most of the people aren't English majors. Plus, you all know I'm known for my intelligent insight LOL!
Pics tomorrow.

Pics!
Hello friends. I'm up early yet another day, but I think I like it. I get more done. Plus London looks really pretty from my window in the early morning; I have a beautiful view of the skyline. Unlike NYC, London does sleep, and it's like I get to see it wake up. It looks kind of like a writer waking from his sleep to hurredly write something down, so he doesn't forget, but he's kind of old, so he can't move as quickly as he used to. And all the lights coming on are the ideas crashing around in his head.
Today we're going to St. Paul's and to see Waiting for Godot. I will not be walking as much as yesterday because my feet still hurt like the blazes! lol
You all know what I did yesterday, so I don't need to repeat. As I promised, here are some pictures from it.

Good day
Today was fun. It is nearly over, as it is 9:08 pm here in London, and I am SO tired. After our coach tour of the city, Bobby and I decided to not come back to the dorms but to explore a bit around the city. It had a really great time. We leisurely strolled around the Thames, stopping to rest and take pictures (and laugh, of course) along the way. We walked everywhere, only getting on the tube to get back home. So added up, we walked about 7 hours. We're thinking we might be skinny when we get back to the states. That would be so great, wouldn't it?
It seems as though our friend Caley did get left behind at St. Paul's, and I haven't talked to her after that, so I hope she made it home okay. I felt guilty, but there was really nothing we could have done; she was late for the coach, and we didn't notice that she wasn't on it. We'll find out when I see her again if she's mad about our possible negligence.
I am enjoying London immensely. I love just sitting on a bench next to the water and feeling the wind and light rain on my face (take notice I said LIGHT rain its heavier counterpart I enjoy considerably less). One of the best things that happened today was this: we were driving through Trafalgar Square at the tail end of the coach tour, and our tour guide was mentioning that something was going on there and that something was always going on there. He continued to list all kinds of ethnic celebrations and religious observances blatantly excluding Christianity. When we got off the coach, we heard singing, and we were walking through Trafalgar Square to get to Piccadilly Circus, and right in the middle of the square was a huge Christian worship going on. People handing out crosses and brochures for a church and a band singing The Wondrous Cross. I was overwhelmed because I hadn't expected something that familiar to me and so happy that in the midst of all of London's diversity, Christianity still has its place. London's Christians are still evangelizing to the masses.
As I said today was fun. Tomorrow will be even more fun because we are going to worship at St. Paul's and going to see Ian McKellan and Patrick Stewart in Waiting for Godot!!!! I'm so excited! We've been planning this play for months, and it's finally happening. Classes start Monday...we'll see how that goes.
I'll do everything in my power to post pictures tomorrow.

Day 2
Hello friends,
It is 6:50 am here in London, but I'm doing well because I was up at 4am. Probably because I went to sleep at 9:30. Straight up fell over from exhaustion. Yesterday, my friend Caley and I went to Pizza Express for dinner. This is a well known pizza chain with fancy pizza, not really like Papa John's or anything. Every pizza had like some weird topping or something. THEN I saw it. Cheese and pepperoni. To my chagrin, they had named this "the American." I did decide to order it, though. I said, "as much as it pains me to say this, I want the American and a Coke." He laughed, but not in a condescending way.
I'm very happy to be in the land of the best candy bars in the world. I ate an Aero bar last night, and I realized I had forgotten how much I loved them.
I have a friend named Jeanie who grew up on Lyttle Blvd with me, and she and her husband and daughter currently live in London near Notting Hill. I'm looking forward to meeting up with her and catching up. Maybe speaking with her will give me a little touch of home.
Later today, we're going on a coach tour of the city. I guess I'll let Bobby have the window seat since he's never seen it before.....lol

I'm Here!
As the title states, I'm here. In London. Finally. And besides the little twitch in my heart that occurs everytime my little cat daughter creeps across my mind, I'm perfectly fine. I'm very sleepy because the flight was exhausting, and I didn't get any sleep. This is a very short post; I just wanted to keep you all updated.
There are no pictures to speak of yet, but soon. I promise.
Love.
