Hello again,

Wow I feel like I have not written to you in quite some time. Well Megan came to visit this week and I have now been to London twice. :)

Megan arrived last Saturday around 3:30pm and so I did a bit of shopping and browsing around beforehand. We then went to London last Sunday for Brunch with Jean and Adi, which was really nice. Brunch was excellent, though I do not think I will ever get used to the English breakfast... it is just too meaty. We then walked through Hyde Park which was massive and nicely manicured. I really liked the Serpentine, and we saw Adi's chairs which apparently you have to pay 1 pound to sit in, ridiculous. Adi then took Megan and I to see Buckingham Palace, which as you might imagine was gorgeous and had copious amounts of beautiful architecture. :) (All that gold) He left us at Piccadilly Circus, which is a huge multi-street intersection with a cute statue of a cupid type figure in the sort of middle which our guide this past Friday told us that it is the meeting spot of lovers. From here though, Megan and I made our way to the Pedestrian bridge which crosses the Thames and there we saw the London Eye, Big Ben and Parliament. We also saw where the Aquarium is and The art museum was displaying the Dali exhibit at the time, which would be cool to see. We then crossed another bridge and walked right next to Big Ben and Parliament, saw Westminster Abbey and then made our way back to Victoria Coaching Station (which is where we took the National Express Bus), via Starbucks of course.

Megan came with me to all my classes, she found Shakespeare and Ethics to be the most boring probably... but that doesn't surprise me because the way shakespeare is taught and the fact that we are studying Romeo and Juliet at the moment (it is understandable) and ethics, well that whole subject is a bit dry so...

Speaking of classes... I have do some reading today for American Postmodernism, We are watching R&J tomorrow and taking notes, Ethics I need to look at Blackboard and probably read/take notes, British History I need to determin what I am doing my 2000 word paper on and what subjects I am using for my inclass essay, then I need to research. Same goes for Modern Britian, I need to decide my second 2000 word essay topic and begin researching.

Well anyway, this past Thursday, Megan and I spent most of the day shopping... though I did show her around the Cathedral which she like me thought it was extremely gorgeous. :) But we did accomplish getting gifts for people and I actually found gifts that people would probably really like. (so when I get my allowance not this week but next week I can go ahead and buy stuff again)

Friday I went to London again, with my group for our required field trip. And I have to say that it was not as cool as when Megan and I went, and I'm not talking about London... because London in my opinion is a really cute city. But traveling in a group is really not possible. So I look forward to going back on my own. I want to go to some of the museums since they're free. :) And I would love to do a bit of shopping here and there. I did get a cute Guardman Bear and I named him Phillip. :P lol.

I baked a cake when I got back from London on Saturday and Megan had made me dinner which was super sweet of her... and on a side note when I have a kitchen, cooking is really relaxing and enjoyable. (so far, everyone ... which is mostly Megan.... loves my Cooking) But anyway back to Cake, It was a chocolate Cake with Vanilla Icing and I used blue piping icing to write HAPPY B-DAY MEGAN and draw crazy designs around it. :)

We didn't do much yesterday, got to sleep in, had cake, Megan packed, we walked around town, Megan picked up some last minute things and then we trudged with her suitcases down to the Bus Station... After I put her on the bus... I came back here and relaxed. :) (She should be flying out in less than two hours, I have hope she has a good and safe trip home and I'm glad she came to visit. :) Thanks Megan for visiting.)

Anyway, that's all for now, going to get dressed then probably head into town.... return library books then do some browsing. :) Later, must clean, read, laundry, etc...
