HOLA!

Hi everyone! I have been writing on here, but it's not showing up! I hope this one does. Our internet has been really weird lately, and it freezes whatever we are doing on the internet. This week went by really fast. Classes were fun. We learned how to make tea, went to Greenwich, and went out a few times. Today, we all went to Camdon Town. It's a pretty good size market with a lot of little shops. I really wanted these hunter wellies, but they didn't have them in my size! :( The guy told me to come back next week because that's when they're getting more. We also had an American lunch today! It was so good, and they had normal mustard! I'm getting ready to go out with some friends, and then tomorrow is homework day. Love everyone.

Mexican Casserole....disaster

Today I had class from one until five thirty. My theatre class was a lot of fun. We were reading our scripts with our groups, and mine was goofing around talking in hillbilly accents, and we didn't know how teacher was behind us, and he goes "what the bloody hell is that awful accent!?" hahah it was so funny. We tried to teach him how to talk like that, but it didn't sounds very good haha. I then went to the grocery because it was my night to make a homemade dinner for everyone. I decided to make mexican casserole because that's my favorite meal. I went to three different markets to get the ingredients, and then headed back to make it. We all ate a lot of it, and then sat down to talk. About half hour after, we all started to not feel well. Five of us threw up; I was so upset! I am starting to feel a little better, but gosh, I didn't know I was that bad of a cook! That's all for today. Tomorrow we go to Greenwich. I am sure I will get some great pictures! Love!

War Horse

Today we had class at 9:00. We were taught the proper way to make english tea and what to put in it. Then, we got something to eat and went to the British Museum. There were a lot of really cool Egyptian artifacts there that were just so amazing. We also saw the Rosetta Stone and a lot of mummys. After that, I came back to the flat and relaxed before getting ready for the play we had to go to tonight called War Horse. We were a little late, but it wasn't a big deal. The play was about a boy who saves a horse when it's young, and trains and nurishes it until its adulthood. Then the horse "Joey" is sent off to war because he is a strong horse. I won't ruin the story for you, but yes I did cry haha. I really enjoyed going! I finished all my laundry today and can finally relax. Love you all!

Hyde Park

Today was a nice relaxing day. Me and Amanda went to Hyde Park around 2:30 and walked around until about 4:30ish. It was so beautiful there! The trees were not in bloom of course, but the grass is so green and vibrant. It's not like back home! There were also a lot of dogs there! They were so cute! I wish I could send my dogs over so the could run around there haha. After that, we just made a pizza and went to our friends flat to do homework. We have quite a bit, but it's all about english history, and I enjoy all of that stuff! This week will be another busy one with plenty of pictures. Have a nice week!
