Photos and more!
Name this movie:
"Excuse me, but could you tell me what country we're in?"
"Why, you're in Great Britain!"
"Oh no! Now we'll never get to England."
"You are in England, my furry friend."
(I think I saw the pond this took place in yesterday).
Last night the four of us were coming back from getting Chinese food, when a white limo full of kids around 13 years drove by,and a boy (who still had a high-pitched voice) yelled out the window, "HEY SEXY, DO YOU LIKE MY CAR???"
As Morgan (the girl) would say, "Oh that's special."
I promised alot of photos, so HERE they are! Be warned there's tons. Sorry if this kills anyone's dial up internet connection!
The British's kitkat bars (amazing!) had that message for me on it. Oh, and by the way, Diane, I found Lion bars in the vending
machine at school! I plan on procuring one this week. Yay.
These next photos are from the bus tour, so sorry if they may seem a little blurry. Bear in mind I have SO MANY but obviously
cannot post all of them at once.
The Sherlock Holmes Museum, with a british policeman waiting for Holmes to return. Hmmmm...where is he?
Surely not at Baskin Robbins, the "AMERICAN" ice cream shop....or did we miss him walking away, perchance?
THERE HE GOES! I bet he got rainbow sherbet.
Or maybe he's off to visit HG Wells' house to lament the new Tom Cruise movie.
The British Central Market.
Yeah, I think it is owned by THAT Garfunkel...although I may be mistaken, I didn't contemplate it long because of what is next door to it...
I SO WANT TO SEE THE JERRY SPRINGER OPERA!
Black and white photos always are more profound. this one came out nicely.
Looks like the queen approves of my burberry jacket. Okay, Mom, maybe you were right about me buying it.
Just for that, I know you'd like this one. (The whole Stubbs exhibit. No, I am not going ot it because I've already SEEN it in Ft Worth!)
I like the street chalk art.
As my tour guide called it, the London Skyline is an innuendo.
I thought this was good since it got three major landmarks crammed into one frame.
The view of St Paul's from across the river.
The Globe theatre
That's for my sister, Bonnie.
I thought that gate was pretty.
My delish fish n chips lunch.
headstone from a graveyard on church st.
a small part of hampstead heath. no idea whose house that is.
elizabeth, me, cassie, lindsey, and two faculty on the heath.
a "clue" in the mary poppins game!
IS THAT NOT AWESOME/SCARY OR WHAT?
I met Mary Poppins. You didn't. as my more l337 literate friends would say, "pwn3d!"
As for today, we had classes begin. This involved all of the "A" classes meeting in the "courtyard" between the dorms, and thenour teachers leading us to class. My A class was my Life in London: Living in the EU (it's a political science class).
I think it'll be pretty fun. We're going to take alot of field trips and such, and I just have to write journal entries and two short papers, so it won't be difficult at all, which is nice. Alot of the kids taking it are polysci majors, so I'm goingto feel pretty stupid since I don't understand alot of the political and economic rhetoric. Ah well. Tomorrow we're goingon a field trip to Greenwich....I guess that's another city in England.
Ummm at lunch I was eating by myself at first but then a nice girl named Tara sat down, and then Paul and Lindsey and Elizabeth and Cassie all showed up so that was fun in the end, and the food was still decent!
My music business class is SO crowded; I think there's about 40 people in it. We started off with a quiz, however, of all the countriesin Europe and world leaders, and everyone failed miserable. I don't think the quiz counts, but we do have a test on it Monday. thursday we're taking a field trip to Liverpool....yes, it is a Beatles tour! Exciting!
So now I'm in this cafe that gives you wireless if you buy something. I probably should get off and let Elizabeth check her email and such... I hope everyone is doing well, and I'll try and call home today or tomorrow.
Much love.
