Stonehenge!

Hey Everyone!  I know it has been over a week since I have posted anything.  The week was pretty uneventful.  Just full of educational stuff... class.  Haha!  Well, yesterday we finally did something requiring us to take pictures!  We took an hour long car ride to the grassy lands surrounding Stonehenge!!!  Here are some of the pictures we took!  It was a lot bigger than I expected it to be.  My friends and I had a great time!  Hope you enjoy the pictures!

London Trip!

My friends and I went into London today to watch the Six Nations game.  However, we never actually got to watch it!  We were too busy sightseeing and being interviewed for French TV!  We had a long night last night because we were up until 5 am.  We got about 4 hours of sleep before getting up to catch the train into London.  We took a taxi from Waterloo Station to a restaurant on the other side of the Thames River called The Little Bay.  My best friend back home, Katlin, sent me an article about a restaurant that was eliminating charging a price for the food.  Instead, the manager was allowing the customers to pick the price of the food they consumed.  Very cool concept!  When we arrived at the restaurant, we were approached by a french woman who asked if she might interview us for a news piece she was doing on the restaurant and its pricing concept.  So, we agreed to take a few humiliating minutes to give her a good story!  After that we went into the restaurant and had started to look over the menu.  Once we ordered our food the camera crew wanted shots of us actually consuming it.  The food, by the way, was OUTSTANDING!  We finally finished our meal and got to pick our price!  Then we walked to Houses of Parliament and did some sightseeing in that area.  We walked just a few short blocks from Houses of Parliament to the Buckingham Palace!  We took loads of pictures and walked through the park.  We then went to watch some guards in front of a house and we met a man who was from the area who gave us the headsup on a great 400 year old pub and shared loads of information about the royal family!

I finally just returned home and thought I would share some of the amazing pictures from today!  I hope you are enjoying looking at them and reading my blog!  I'm trying so very hard to keep you interested!  Enjoy!

Pictures of Guildford

Hey everyone!

Here are some pictures from my first trip into London.  We have me in a phone booth, near Big Ben, in front of the Tower of London, and Waterloo Train Station!  I hope you enjoy!  I finally have a card reader for my computer so I will be able to upload photos more often!  I will be spending this weekend in London to cheer for England in the Six Nations game!  My friends and I are trying to make arrangements to stay in a hostel over night so we can spend more time in London!  Look for the pictures come Monday!

I miss everyone!

Snow Day #2!

So, yesterday was my first official snow day, and how lucky am I to be able to get a second one!  As I was walking around in the snow yesterday with my friends, I realized how truly lucky I am to have this opportunity to be here.  At first, I wanted to throw in the towel and go home.  I hated it here.  Although, I think more than anything I was just scared of being out of my safe zone.  Now, I am making friends and having the time of my life.  

My friends and I are going to walk to the grocery store today following that we will probably eat at the campus pub, Chancellor's.  Then maybe spend a couple hours playing in the snow.  Being from Florida, we are trying to take advantage of the winter wonderland out there!  I thank these friends for making it more enjoyable.  I also thank my family for being jerks and pushing my buttons until I stay!  Thanks guys!

Well, the snow is melting, and I'm not missing out on this!  See you guys later, hopefully with more pictures!

Snow Day!!!!

I had my first official SNOW DAY today!  Classes were cancelled for Monday and Tuesday.  So this week I will only be attending 1 class and that is Friday afternoon.  What am I going to do with all this time off?  Well, tomorrow we are planning to have a snow ball fight and go tubing down a huge hill on campus!  We walked into town today.  Everything was closed and shut down except for Subway.  Damn corporations are just money hungry!  Well, I'll tell you what! They are smart for being open, every student in town was in that Subway!  

Anyway, here are some pictures of me and the girls enjoying the snow!  The most snow that England has seen in 18 years might I add!
