Day 6
We took a day trip to the Isle of Wight today.
When we first got there, all I wanted to do was go back to London. It was cold, misty, and the ferry let us off at this mile long pier that we had to cross to get to town. We walked around Ryde for a little bit, then decided we were going to go down the coast to find a few things that were on the map. We went to the train, which is an old, super slow...

Day 5
Went up to North London to see Abbey Road today. Then we went to Camden Town and walked around for like 2 hours. The shops there are overwhelming. I bought some dresses, a necklace, and a Liverpool jersey for my brother. Just walking around the whole area was pretty neat though. After that we went to Oxford Circus and shopped around at Topshop. We bought tickets at tkts to see Stomp on Friday. SO...

Day 4- BEST DAY EVER
Ok so we actually got up on time today, and went to Buckingham Palace to see the changing of the guard, which was awesome. Then we went to see 10 Downing Street, and Big Ben / Parliament / Westminster Palace. After, we walked over to Trafalgar Square and the National Gallery and saw a Van Gogh panting that Meg wanted to see and a Michaelangelo painting that I wanted to see, then we ate at Pret A...

Day 3
We were supposed to get up at 10:00. We got up at 11:50.
Whoops.
Went and explored the “Tower” of London, which should be renamed “Shitload of Towers, Actually More Like A Castle” of London, and walked across Tower Bridge. We saw St. Paul’s Cathedral, and shopped at Mark’s and Spencer’s (I got Swedish bubbly chocolate and it was INCREDIBLE), and after...

Day 2
Did the London hipster thing today. Walked around East End and perused markets for around 4 hours only to buy one dress and some food. I ate sushi and dumplings and drank watermelon water, it was awesome. Saw Christ Church too. Now we’re getting ready to tourist it up in central London tomorrow.

Grabbing a quick nap, then maybe going to see Oxford vs Cambridge in rowing later.

LEAVING FOR THE AIRPORT IN EXACTLY 24 HOURS
I went and exchanged some $ for £ today. But that’s about all I’ve gotten done.
My to-do list is ridiculous.
And I still have class for 4 and a half hours today.

3 days until London.
And I’ve been putting off packing all week. I had a dream last night that it was time to leave for London and I hadn’t packed anything yet, so I couldn’t go. I think I just incepted myself. Way to go subconscious.
Why do I get so lonely, when there really ain’t nothin wrong?

Spring, GTFO
Daylight Savings has kidnapped 2 AM and replaced it with 3 AM, and I do not appreciate it at all. Soon it’s going to bring the bugs and the sweaty people back.
I want Winter back. :(

Apocalypse
Pretty sure that’s what’s going on outside right now. I walked 15 blocks in this mess, and I think its safe to say that the end of the world is nigh. I had to close my umbrella and let myself get soaked because when it wasn’t whipping me around like a kite, it was inverting and turning into a rain pool.
I was also counting the skeletal remains of broken umbrellas as I went, and...
