Fakesgiving!

I nearly forgot about our Thanksgiving feast! Or should I say Fakesgiving, since the holiday isn't really legit in this country.... Anyway we had a wonderful feast! We had a big group, of about 12 I believe! John (of London), Tom (of DC), Zack, Bouquette, and Jale (of Zurich), Marie and Jerry (of Paris), Daniel (of Dalton), and of course us Londoners (I'm going to include myself in that group haha). It was great fun! There was probably 50 pounds of stuffing, 2 turkeys, mushy peas (actually quite good!) and other wonderful concoctions. I baked 2 pies all by myself, homemade crusts and all! I was very nervous. I've never made a pie all on my own before. They turned out well, though :) There were of course enough left overs so I could take some back to school with me. I think they fed me for about 2 days haha! Anyway, I think a good time was had by all. I know I did. Just wanted to share my Turkey day experience with you. Thanks for reading - again... ;)

Lots of Stuff

Hello everyone. I know, I know... Where have I been?! It's been forever since I last wrote. Life has been cRaZY for a while. Near the end of term and all the work I haven't done is suddenly in my lap. I'm not doing too badly, though. I'm even turning a paper in one day early! That's a first! haha

Lets me see if I can begin to account for all I've done since I wrote last. Shopping in Picadilly Circus, getting stuck in climate change protests, lots of paper writing, shopping on Portobello Road and having my first Churro, going to the Winter Wonderland German Christmas Fair in Hyde Park - So much fun! Hot chocolate, hot dogs, finding 10 pounds on the ground! Good times :)

The other evening I had my first London (well Clapham Junction, but hey it's still London..lol) club experience. My friend Clarissa and I decided since it was the last one of the term, why not! So, Monday evening we went to The Grand, and of course the theme was Christmas. Lots of fun! Free Santa hats and a sit-in Santa Clause for pictures! Fun stuff!

This term I joined a choir (well 3 actually...) and over the last couple weeks we had several performances. Campus church services and such, with lots of little after parties. We did pretty well :) My college, Digby Stuart College, had a little Christmas dinner and then of course an after party at the Belfry Bar on campus! I will miss the Belfry....

Yesterday it snowed big fat flakes here in London! I was lovely. It didn't stick, but I don't care. I love snow :)

Today it will be paper writing, and tonight I have a farewell dinner with my two closest friends here in London, Sam and Clarissa. Then we are off to a Christmas party on Sam's floor. Tomorrow, I will turn in my paper -early! :D- and then I help Clarissa to the airport so she can go home to Ohio :( ... I am excited to perhaps be able to see one of my English friends from school last year while he is home for Christmas break! Other than that, I will be doing my final London activities in the next few days.

Hope this has not bored you to tears haha. Just wanted to catch you up to speed a bit. Thanks for reading :)
