Homeward Bound
London has been an amazing experience. I have made so many new friends and developed so many friendships. I have seen the sights and lived the city life. However, now it is time to pack up and head home to the Old North State and see family and friends. Yes it is sad to leave what we have had here behind, but it is wonderful to look the future what else is in store. It is now Sunday at 1:30, and I we fly out at 11 am tomorrow morning. Will be back soon.

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday!
Hey Everyone! Have not had time this week, trying to live it up my last week in London.
Monday
Today was a great day. Kinsey and I spent the day hitting some spots in London that we have not had time to do yet. We went to the V&A where there are many cool objects detailing history throughout time. We found some interesting items. As we were walking through we found a bust of a man and I said "Hey Kinsey, i think I recognize this man." It turned out that the plaque stated "Unknown Man". Guess I did not know who he was. Then after the V&A we went to Harrods. Unbelievable. The money was ridiculous. However, Kinsey and I managed to get our last real Gelato. I got Lemon and Lime, my all time favorite. Just a little bit of reminding before we go back.
Tuesday
Today was the last day of classes. We had two exams and a class discussion. It was great. After class we went out to celebrate Cinco De Mayo at the Texas Embassy, which serves Mexican food, and then headed to our flats to just relax the rest of the night.
Wednesday
Today was fun. I woke up without an alarm for the first time in a long time and it was great. After this I went to art class with the girls from Flat D. Since I had invested a lot of time in their projects and helping them think up ideas, I felt it was necessary to see the final products. Then Jordan, Kinsey, and I went to steak night at Warwick Castle Pub. It was so much fun. The girls said they ate like "real men". :) Again tonight we went to hang out in the flats.
Thursday
This morning started with a trip to the London Eye. Chelsey, Megan, Kinsey, Natalie, and I went. We had fun finding all the places that we were used to going throughout our trip. We then walked along from the London Eye to Big Ben and then down to Trafalgar Square. We stopped by to climb on top of the lions and get pictures. Then we went to China Town one last time to get some good food. Then comes the best part. We went to the locking of the keys ceremony at the Tower of London at 10pm. It was awesome. We got to see all the guards and it was soooo cool. Will describe this better later when you ask me because words cannot describe.
It is almost time to come home. It is Bitter Sweet. Miss everyone.

Wednesday to Sunday!
Wednesday
On Wednesday, I WORKED AND WORKED AND WORKED! Natalie and I had a joint sociology paper due on Thursday, and I sat in the flat and did some work on our paper, formatting and sourcing. Other than that, we went to our las play of the year called "Tusk, Tusk", which was written by a 20 year old playwright and was awesome.
Thursday
This morning we went to the HMS Belfast with out GST class. It wass really cool to see a battleship that was no loner in operation but still allowed to fly the flags of the British Royal Navy. The inside of the boat had many wax figures which looked very very very real and scary a points. After this I went back to the flats for lunch and then headed to school for sociology presentations. Natalie and I did pretty well. I think it went well. We will see when we get grades back. Being exhausted from two hours of presentations, I went back to the flats and hung out for the rest of the night.
Friday
Today I woke up and headed to Notting Hill with Megan, Kinsey, and Amanda. We went to Churchill Arms for lunch which was the best Thai food I have ever had. We then went to the Book WHarehouse, which was a discount bookstore. I bought a good book about the life of George and Laura Bush. Can't wait to get into it! We then went to Portabella Market. Lots of antiques and shops and Fresh food stands. Great day overall.
Saturday
Today was FABULOUS! We went to Kew Gardens. I got some of the best pictures of flowers that i have gotten here in London. Kinsey, Natalie, Elizabeth, Courtney, Amanda, Heather, and Amelia all went with me. We found a carnival and some people rode the swings. Inside the garden we saw multiple cool things, the best being the peacock which I got in full fan form on video. Will share after this blog. Other than that a great day.
Sunday
Today was great. Courtney, Amelia and I went to two different markets and just had fun hanging out. Tonight a group of us went back to HTB and worshipped. It was great to once again worship our Lord and know how awesome He truly is. Can't wait to relax and study a little tomorrow for final exams on Tuesday. Tomorrow marks a week left. CRAZY!
