So today we had class at the centre and we actually got to have it in the classroom instead of the servery because the other group wasn't using it! It was so much better in there! It was super cramped in the servery and hard to see Tim, Phil, and Hilary while they taught. After class we ate some lunch quick and headed over to the Sherlock Holmes museum and the Beatles store. We didn't actually go into the Sherlock Holmes museum though because it was a bit expensive and the queue to get in was massive! So we just walked around the gift shop and took pictures in there. It was actually pretty cool. Then we walked a few doors down to the Beatles store. A lot of the merchandise was pretty expensive though so I didn't get anything yet. I might go back for a mug though because they were only £7 and I love mugs. We happened to be near the University of Westminster so we passed quite a few attractive college guys while we walked around. Haha, we got quite distracted by them sometimes. Also, on the way to the tube station got mistaken for English girls and asked how to get to the Beatles museum. Luckily we had just come from there so we knew exactly how to get there. It made me feel awesome because that means I don't look like a tourist, right? Then we went down to the Tate Modern. It's this modern art museum in like an old factory or something. It's kind of strange. All of the art was really weird. I have a hard time with modern art in the first place but this stuff was extra crazy! Seriously, I walked out of there trying to figure out who chose the pieces for the galleries. A lot of the art in it I felt like I could have done myself and I'm definitely not an artist. So it was very strange. Then we walked over the Millennium Bridge (from Harry Potter) and took the tube to South Kensington. We found a cupcake place called The Hummingbird Bakery and got cupcakes! They were delicious! And the little shop was adorable! I hope I get a chance to go back :) Then we came home and when we got to our door there was a key in it. So we walked in and asked if someone left their key in the lock by accident and Kenzie said it was stuck. She had already tried for a good ten minutes to get it out and it wouldn't budge so I tried for a while. It was definitely stuck in there! So I had the brilliant idea of going to ask our very attractive British RA upstairs about it to see if he could get it out. Haha, we are always finding excuses to ask him questions :) So he came down and it took him probably a good five minutes to get it out. He told us not to use the lock though because he doesn't want anyone else to get their key stuck. So at the moment, the door to our flat doesn't close all the way so people can get in without their keys. Hopefully it will be fixed tomorrow and we have locks on our individual bedroom doors so we'll be fine! After that we all made some dinner and tried to eat but we kept laughing at everything so eating was kind of hard. Haha, we all are super sleep deprived and exhausted from trying to sight-see during the day and doing homework at night. Haha, it was so funny :) I'm really getting to know the girls here and I love every one of them! I was a little bit worried about sharing a room because I've had such awful experiences with that in the past but everything has been fine. We really do have a lot of fun together :)
This was the tiniest violin I had ever seen!
These are little music boxes you hand crank to play the music! So cute!
I want a Beatles lunch box :)
Stockings!
We thought this house looked really pretty so we took a picture!
St. Paul's Cathedral
Tate Modern
Millennium Bridge!
That's where One Direction filmed part of their music video for One Thing! (the part with the couch)
This exhibit was this huge pitch black room with one tiny bejewelled skull in the middle
Really?? Skewered crows on the wall??
These are horoscopes that I found funny
According to mine I'm going to die next week for no apparent reason
I thought this looked like poop. I'm still not sure what it was supposed to be.
A piece of cotton hanging from the ceiling. Seriously, people?
I don't understand how this could ever be viewed as art...
When I saw this I said it had to be a volcano with the middle missing and... I was wrong. It's supposed to be a tree! Really??
I'm sorry but a hexagon on the wall cannot be considered art.
This is the view from where one direction stood in their music video :)
There was a bride taking pictures on the Millennium Bridge. Why?
The Globe
The "Magical Man!" according to these cute little Madelines.
Some pretty flowers we walked by on our way to the tube
Brittany!
Yummy cupcakes :)
