Composed Upon Westminster Bridge, September 3, 1803

by William Wordsworth

Earth has not anything to show more fair:

Dull would he be of soul who could pass by

A sigh so touching in its majesty:

This City now doth, like a garment, wear

The beauty of the morning; silent, bare,

Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie

Open unto the fields, and to the sky;

All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.

Never did sun more beautifully steep

In his first splendour, valley, rock, or hill;

Ne'er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep!

The river glideth at his own sweet will:

Dear God! The very houses seem asleep;

And all that mighty heart is lying still!

New life goal: see the sunrise over the Thames.

Who Am I?

I made this video for my Psychology final project. The prompt asked after three months in London who am I now? Here's what I did:

Back In the Saddle Again

2009-04-16T13:53:00.000-07:00

First day back to the 801! It was so good to see my Mom, my Dad, Amanda and Masha! Oh and of course LOUIE! He even remembered me!

So there was no real question what I was going to do today was there?

So stoked! But haven't quite left this yet though...

Love from London

2009-04-16T10:14:00.000-07:00

Dear London,

Thank you for the best 97 days of my life. You have changed me forever and you shall always hold my heart. Thank you for the adventures you’ve given me, the friends I’ve made, the things you’ve shown me, the things you’ve taught. I miss you terribly but I’ll always have our memories.

Thanks for the best “four months time.” Can’t wait to see you again.

Love for London,

Steph

Paris, je t'aime

2009-04-06T10:10:00.000-07:00

Bonjour, Paris!

Here's a review of my fun four day trip to Paris!

The good times kept on rollin with Miss McKenzie Mae... literally!!!

We're talking VIP status- front of the line EVERY TIME.

Look how close we got to Mona.

BONJOUR MONA!

L'Orangerie! Oh, j'adore L'Orangerie et Monet!!!

Eiffel Tower Light Show!

Fun at Versailles!

The Champs Elysees with the Arc de Triomphe in the background.

Good times in Paris with good friends! A girl couldn't ask for more!

Highlights from Up North

2009-03-27T15:39:00.000-07:00

Last week we went on a 5 day trip through Northern England! Here are some highlights:

Probably my favorite part of the trip was the drive through the countryside. It was so beautiful. This picture below is one example. In case you were wondering, we DID NOT plan to match. It just happens when you live together I suppose...

Just kidding it was St Patrick's Day and these were authentic Irish sweatshirts so we had to wear them.

Another favorite was Fountains Abbey. A huge abandoned abbey, ordered to be dismantled by Henry VIII when he created the Church of England. It reminded me a lot of Stourhead which I loved so I liked Fountains Abbey too.

Hadrian's Wall

and more awesome countryside.

The Lake District. Oh. My. Gosh. This was the view from our hostel. AMAZING! The Lake District was easily the best part of the trip.

Best Crew Out!

And do you notice what was in the marina??? Is that a MASTERCRAFT X2??? Yeah my mind was blown.

On the way back to London we stopped in Preston. This is where the first LDS missionaries came to Britain. We spent the day touring Church sites and finished it off at the Preston Temple. Cool day.

Moral of the story: I will find my way back up north one day because I loved it so much. I only wish that x2 had been in the water because I would have convinced the owner to take me wakeboarding. No matter what.

UTAH MAN SIR!

2009-03-21T13:09:00.001-07:00

CONGRATS AMANDA!!!!!! ALTHOUGH YOU GOT INTO EVERY SCHOOL YOU APPLIED TO YOU PICKED THE BEST ONE! SO EXCITED FOR NEXT YEAR! GO UTES!

IRELAND!

2009-03-16T13:55:00.000-07:00

We had the weekend off so a group of us headed off to Dublin in time for

ST PATRICK'S DAY!

Well Tuesday is the actual St Patrick's Day but in Ireland, home of St Patrick himself, it's a weeklong celebration!

FRIDAY we took a tour through the Irish countryside to Wicklow.

SATURDAY we explored Dublin. Some highlights: The Spike, I mean Spire in the middle of City Centre.

The Famine Statues. Yeah, they were real.

Trinity College

There was an awesome carnival going on that we went to twice. Second time around we met Al Roker. Talk about random.

SUNDAY McKenzie, McKell, Alexa and I went out to a coastal town called Howth. We were all in the St Patrick's Day spirit and needless to say we stuck out.

Howth was beautiful and we ate lunch with our feet over the harbor and seals catching our crumbs.

All in all a great trip and I loved Dublin. Today London welcomed me back though with sunshine and 60 degree weather. I LOVE LONDON! Oh and props once again to McKell for the awesome pics.

Getting to the CENTRE of Things

2009-03-16T13:35:00.000-07:00

Hampton Court was so much fun. It's the largest palace in Europe with over 1,100 rooms but we hurried through the palace to get OUTSIDE as fast as we could. Do you blame us?

Living the Life.

Our next stop was Wimbledon and although this was my second time going I was so excited because we were going to go on the tour to see CENTER COURT (or I suppose it's Centre Court here). So we start the tour and our tour guide says we're off to Court Number 1 as we walk away from the door to Centre Court...

CENTRE COURT IS CLOSED UNTIL MAY BECAUSE THEY'RE BUILDING A ROOF OVER IT. Seriously? SERIOUSLY? Bummers.... at least the rest of the tour was cool. Guess I'll just have to come back for the actual tournament to see Centre Court (hint hint Dad).

I Knew It Would Happen Eventually

2009-03-16T12:48:00.000-07:00

A little too much NUTELLA

Up Close and Personal

2009-03-09T02:13:00.000-07:00

This weekend we went to Fashion Weekend. It's been Fashion Week here in London and when that is all over they have Fashion Weekend. We went and saw all of these vendors booths selling cheap designer stuff and then got to go to a catwalk show. And sat FRONT ROW! Coolest thing ever!

For photos of the show check this out. McKell is an awesome photographer!

On Saturday I went to a DG Founder's Day brunch here in London. It was awesome to go and see other DGs who were studying abroad as well as alum who live in London. It was cool to go not only to meet new DGs but to remind myself that being a part of a sorority means being a part of something bigger than yourself.

Other than that, nothing new to report. Just living the life in London.

Setting My Watch

2009-03-05T10:01:00.000-08:00

Need to know exactly what time it is? I gotcha covered thanks to our day trip to Greenwich yesterday. What's up Prime Meridian!

Yeah, I stood in two hemispheres at once... no big deal. Spot the Sperries.

At Greenwich we got after it and went to the Royal Observatory, the Queen's House, Old Royal Naval College, and the National Maritime Museum. Haven't forgotten the DGs though!

Last night Ana and I went and got standing tickets for Twelfth Night which was amazing! We were a little nervous when we found out we would be standing in the very back of the very top tier but we loved it! One of my favorites so far!

Weekend Update

2009-02-28T15:38:00.000-08:00

This week we went to Stratford-Upon-Avon (holla Shakespeare) and got to see basically the life and times of Shakespeare. Here's Ana and I with our carrier owls we send back and forth messages to each other with.

We saw The Tempest on Wednesday night in Stratford and it was AMAZING. We even got to meet the very attractive Ferdinand after the show when Dr Chrystler tracked him down for us. (Yes McKell, he's WAY hotter than Ariel)

We stayed the night in Stratford-Upon-Avon at a youth hostel and took off to Blenheim Palace the next day. This is the place that Churchill was actually born and it was beautiful!

There was even a butterfly house and Triwizard Tournament-worthy maze. Can you spot Ana?

Yesterday we explored Chelsea and played guitar in Hyde Park because it was a sunny and beautiful day! That night McKenzie went with me to film a little bit of the city. Talk about living the dream.

FOOOOOOOOOD

2009-02-28T15:05:00.000-08:00

Food brings me joy. Today was especially joyful!

Breakfast: Fried egg and bacon sandwich from Cafe Diana. Cheap and delicious.

Lunch: FAJITAS at Camden Market. Mexican food! At CAMDEN MARKET!

Dinner: Indian food from just down the road. London at its best.

Who knew London could taste soooo good?

Fun With Mum

2009-02-24T16:16:00.000-08:00

It was so much fun to hang out with MY MOM this weekend! I loved every minute of it and I was so glad she could come over. She even walked me into blisters so you know it was a good trip. Here's a pic of the crew on the Millenium Bridge with St Paul's in the distance. (Wasn't it nice of my mom to bring the good weather with her too?)

We all went to our favorite Borough Market where we sampled delicious food all afternoon.

Giraffe later that night. Best Mexican food in London.

Big Ben at night. This was right after we got yelled at by guards at St James for trespassing, no big deal.

On Monday my mom and I went on a day trip outside of London and the weirdest thing happened- they all liked us so much they named the town after us.

I had an absolute blast with you Mom and I'm so glad you came over!

Mum In London

2009-02-20T14:27:00.000-08:00

My mom is here!!!!! Talk about surreal to come downstairs at the Centre this morning and see MY MOM at the bottom of the stairs! I’m the luckiest girl! Well my mom the trooper came laden with gifts for us all, filling up an entire bag other than her personal suitcase just for us. Despite the fact that she had just flown half way across the world we hit the ground running. Today was one of my most jam-packed days here, but what do you expect when Chari comes to town?!

We first went to Covent Gardens where I showed her the 7 Dials. We even stopped at the Volcom store just for you Amanda. We made sure to stop in every antique bookstore along Charing Cross Road too.

We then went to lunch at a pub in Soho as requested by Mom. We got a meat pie and toad in the hole out of our systems so we don’t have to get them ever again.

Next stop: one of my favorites, Trafalgar Square.

From there we went to the Wallace Collection. This is a house filled to the brim with the Wallace Family’s collection of old masters including Rembrant, Reubens, and Van Dyck. Oh and The Swing, one of my favorite paintings!

Finally we walked from Piccadilly through both Green and Hyde Park, up to High Street Kensington until we pooped out and took the Tube home.

We got pad thai at an amazing restaurant called Tuk Tuk and picked up a Nutella waffle on our way home. AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS. But then again, what isn’t good covered in Nutella?

A great end to a great day. Can’t wait for tomorrow!

"Excuse Me, Where's the Hovercraft?"

2009-02-19T02:18:00.001-08:00

On Monday we didn't have class so McKenzie, McKell, Alexa and I decided to go on a day trip of our own to the Isle of Wight, an island on the very southern tip of England. It was so much fun!

We took a two hour train ride to Portsmouth and then took a HOVERCRAFT to the island. So there we were, getting of the train asking people where the hovercraft port was. Sci Fi convention anyone? It was such a giggle and we loved every minute of it!

Once on the island we hoped on a bus and rode around the island. It had a total beach-town vibe which was so refreshing coming from the city. We took off our shoes and walked along the beach in our short sleeved shirts.

Afterwards we went to one of the most beautiful churches I've ever been to on the top of a hill in a town called Godshill.

It was one of the best days I've had here and it was so fun to go with McKell, Mckenzie, and Alexa.

Operation V-Day

2009-02-17T15:14:00.001-08:00

So Valentines was last week and it turned out that none of us had dates (it's against BYU policy after all) so we decided to throw a party. A couple of weeks ago we were at the White Cliffs of Dover and were inspired by the whole WWII thing, picked up a 1940s dance cd we found, and just kind of ran with that- "Operation V-Day" get it?

Everyone got vintage dresses and got so into it! We pushed aside all of the tables in the servery (aka the dining room), put up decorations, and threw a dance party! We also put up some sheets for McKell to take pictures of everyone. It was such a fun night- one of the best Valentines Days ever!

Amanda Moona

2009-02-17T13:51:00.000-08:00

Check out the coolest sister ever who made it into the newspaper. She's awesome at the bassoon and is the Sterling Scholar for Olympus in Music. Way to go Amanda and good luck in State! I know you'll kill it!

2009-02-09T03:25:00.000-08:00

Miss you woman.

Love from London

2009-02-08T15:18:00.001-08:00

It has been a fun weekend- we had something to do! Thursday we went to Jersey Boys and then to Ed's Diner. A cheeseburger, fries, and shake hit the spot. Friday we went to the Hyde Park Stake Young Single Adults dance. FUN! We made friends. Saturday we went out to Nando's for Abby's awesome 18th, I mean 19th birthday and had a video scavenger hunt around town.

Today it took Connie, Abby and I 2 1/2 hours to get to Church. I wish I was joking. Here's a picture of my Young Womens.

Tonight after our weekly Fireside we celebrate Abby's birthday a little more and gave her our presents.

I'm falling in love with London more and more. I'll be walking along Bayswater, totally taking it for granted, then I realize, wait... I'm in London, with my friends, and have the city at my feet! THIS IS SO COOL!

19 is, like, nothing

2009-02-04T13:40:00.000-08:00

Today on our weekly day trip we went to the White Cliffs of Dover! We went on a tour of the intricate secret wartime tunnel network used mostly during World War II and I loved it! World War II is one of my favorite times in history and Dover was key in one of my favorite parts of the war, the Evacuation of Dunkirk (thanks to Mr. Felt, my high school history teacher).

Here's the story of the evacuation: Well, in May, 1940 the Allied forces were in a hasty retreat from the German Army and soon found themselves stranded on the French coastline, just 20 miles away from Dover. Vice Admiral Bertrand Russell called for Operation Dynamo and ordered an evacuation to save the men stranded on the beaches of Dunkirk, France. Not only navy ships, but civilians as well went back and forth across the channel and saved over 338,000 men. Pretty cool, huh.

Afterwards we were left to explore Dover Castle.

Then onto Canterbury (like The Tales) where we went to Canterbury Cathedral which was one of my favorites cathedrals I've been to so far.

Here's one of the Cathedral's many claims of fame: In 1170 Thomas Becket was praying in the Canterbury Cathedral when four knights indirectly sent by King Henry II to kill him (it's complicated) started having an argument with him. Apparently it got heated and Becket was 'accidentally' killed on the floor of the Cathedral. Ana and I elaborately acted the scene out.

The thing about being here in Britain is that things are really old. And when I say really old I mean REALLY OLD. I mean, this Cathedral started in 1070. 1070!!!! I can't even wrap my head around that. I've only been around 19 years. That is no time at all really when I'm walking around a building that has been around for over 900 years. Blows my mind...

You Know What Happens When You Feed Birds...

2009-02-03T11:24:00.000-08:00

You get fat birds! Well we would have paid two pence a bag and fed the birds on the steps of St Paul today but it was so snowy there weren't a ton of pigeons out. So we went inside.

We climbed the steps to the Whispering Gallery at the top of the dome and it was so cool that we spent a good half hour up there. How it works is you whisper into the wall and people on the other side of the dome can hear you perfectly! It was a fun game for sure. I had to sneak this picture in before I was reprimanded- the guards could have just whispered into the wall and gotten mad at me without ever having to get up so I had to be quick.

Here's something I learned today: Sir Christopher Wren was not only an architect but an astronomer as well and designed St Paul's to be exactly 365 feet tall because that is how many days it takes the Earth to orbit the Sun. There's your fun fact for the day.

Forecast: 4-6"

2009-02-02T12:58:00.000-08:00

Snow in LONDON!!! And it's the most in 18 YEARS! (I was writing in the picture above last night) Buses aren't running, the Tube is backed up, London is shut down. So you know what that means... FUN IN HYDE PARK! Shout out to McKell and Alyssa for the photos.

Past Couple of Days

2009-01-31T05:44:00.000-08:00

Regent Park. BEST PLAYGROUND EVER. Props to Mckell for the pictures. Afterwards a nice long chat in a cafe with the twins.

Burrough Market. It was so good last Saturday that we had to come back again this Saturday. I confessed my love for the man handing out Cranberry samples, it is just that good.

Fun times in London.

Yeah, You're Jealous

2009-01-28T13:44:00.000-08:00

OH MY GOSH. So you know Pride & Prejudice, the scene when Mr. Darcy first proposes to Elizabeth, THAT'S WHERE I WENT TODAY. It's called Stourhead, and was arguably the most beautiful place ever. EVER! Probably my favorite place we've been so far. After Stourhead we went and gave props to Jane Austen at Winchester Cathedral on our way to Portchester Castle, where we climbed to the tallest tower and looked out over the ocean. Hold your breaff, here's a load of pictures (not really in order due to the fact that Blogger hates me):

Jack Da Rippa

2009-01-27T16:15:00.000-08:00

Tonight we went on a Jack the Ripper tour following some of the places that Jack murdered his victims. McKenzie held on to Alexa and I tighter than anyone else has ever held on to someone for something not that scary. Needless to say when the tour ended we hurried as fast as we could back to the Centre for our nightly Nutella treats. Don't mess with McKenzie and her Nutella.

I'm A Lumberjack and That's Ok

2009-01-27T09:34:00.001-08:00

It was so warm today that we decided to have a picnic

at Trafalgar Square before going to the

Annie Leibovitz exhibit at the National Portrait Gallery.

(Which was awesome!)

Water & Rocks

2009-01-21T12:40:00.000-08:00

Bath. Loved it. Touched it. Drank it. No joke.

Stonehenge. Rocks. Too many pictures. Here is a selection:

Not Too Bad So Far, Thanks Barack

2009-01-20T09:48:00.001-08:00

Today we got in free to the very pricy Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum because we are American. (I couldn't believe it! FREE!) The British love Obama; absolutely love him. So with a valid American identification we got to look at wax statues of other famous Americans… in England. Still doesn’t make sense. Oh well, I’m not complaining. So far you could say I’m a fan of Obama’s presidency.

It’s interesting to watch my country’s history unfold from another continent. I feel that sometimes the British view, especially in the newspapers, can get a little skewed but I have been most surprised how important the United States is to the UK. I mean, the US makes front-page news EVERYDAY. American celebrity gossip IS British celebrity gossip. The US economy completely affects the UK’s. Barack Obama presidency in no way affects only the United States. It seems as though the entire world (well I can only say London for sure) is holding its breath to see just what Obama can do because his presidency affects SO MANY PEOPLE.

Well, we’ll see won’t we?

Lost in a Little British Town

2009-01-20T07:56:00.001-08:00

We didn't have class yesterday because it was Martin Luther King Day so we went out to Wimbledon. Every tourist spot in London is either on a map or has very clear signs pointing exactly where to go. I thought Wimbledon would. It didn't. But that was okay!

We took the Tube out to 'the Wimbledon stop' and walked in only a few circles, asked only a few people, and had to turn around only once until we finally found the stadium.

As we were walking I decided that there is no where I would rather be than lost in a little British town. It was a great day.

Oh and I got a meat pie at a pub Mom, just for you. (It was awesome.)

Treat Night

2009-01-18T16:45:00.000-08:00

At the end of a very long Sunday everyone brought a fun British treat to try.After this picture was taken we all fell into a sugar coma. British sweets are too good.

A Series of Fairly Embarrassing Pictures

2009-01-17T09:37:00.000-08:00

From the past week:

Chinatown, doing as the Asians do.Graffiti, doing as the white posers do.Natural History Museum, doing as the whales do.

Today:

I found my new London Love: COVENT GARDENS. We shall definitely be returning. And not just because of the delicious cupcakes pictured below.

But they are definitely a factor.
Here is a terribly embarrassing picture of Ana, Molly, and I enjoying said delicious cupcakes.
After Covent Gardens we went to Evensong at Westminster Abby. This was not only my second time to Westminster this week (actually twice in two days), it was also my second Evensong this week. In one week I've been to more Catholic Church than most Catholics go to in a year.

Where I'm Transferring

2009-01-14T14:31:00.000-08:00

Cambridge is exactly what I pictured "college" to look like: old, distinguished buildings and smart looking kids. Ana, Molly, and I got to see Cambridge from the student perspective as we would linger by locked doors until a student came by to swipe their cards and we would hurry in the doors after them. Sneaky, sneaky. Here's a picture of a cool library that we snuck into.

We spent a few hours at Cambridge where we walked around town, went to the Fitzwilliam Art Museum, and grabbed some dinner. As a group we all went to see Evensong at Kings Chapel which was super cool and the first Catholic service I've ever been to.

Today we also made some other stops on our way to Cambridge including an American World War II Cemetery.

Recently... IN LONDON!

2009-01-13T09:38:00.001-08:00

Abby, Connie and I were assigned to the Mitcham Ward about an hour and a half away. It is the farthest ward in our group but it took us a little longer than usual to get there because we missed our stop and had to backtrack. This is us lost:

We eventually found it and had a great time. We are all assigned to Young Womens which should be so much fun. Here's some other stuff that I've been up to the past couple of days.

Hanging out at Trafalgar Square with Molly, Ana, and Sarah.

Lloyds of London, for Dad.

Molly and I with St. Paul's in the background, just after visiting the Tate Modern.

It Only Cost a Few Galleons

2009-01-11T13:10:00.001-08:00

They finally let me in!

Hogwarts here I come!

Hey... I'm in London, and I Still Can't Believe It!

2009-01-10T12:27:00.000-08:00

So London is awesome. I just get more and more stoked on it every day. Here's some stuff I've been up to:

Molly and I took a little walk over to Buckingham Palace while everyone else was in class. (We didn't skip or anything, we just didn't have that particular class) We are so cool in our poses.

Outside of the Natural History Museum. Way better on the outside than the inside, unfortunately.

On a bridge over the River Thames on our way to the Tate Modern Museum with the crew.

Big Ben at night... apparently.

The Beginning

2009-01-08T11:02:00.003-08:00

Today was my first real day in London! I'm so completely stoked to be here!!!!

Today I woke up and my roommate (well one of thirteen)

Molly and I explored Hyde Park, and just kept walking until we ended up at Harrods! Let's just say it was a while before we walked out.

Our only real purchase today was some delicious macaroons from Ladurees in Harrods. We took them back to the park where we ate them on a bench,

looking at this:

Peter Pan in Hyde Park

Later this afternoon we walked along Portabello road, but don't worry Dad, no purchases yet.

Before Part B

2009-01-08T10:51:00.000-08:00

It was fun to see everyone before I left for London and have a party of sorts.

I'm going to miss you guys!

This Fall

2008-12-15T22:33:00.000-08:00

This past semester has been my favorite so far in college, hands down! I've loved almost every minute of it. I have had so much fun with DG, my classes have actually been interesting, and I've gotten in quite a bit of skiing!

Well here are some of my favorite parts (in no particular order):

- Marathon math nights with Jane and Paul.

- Caitlin running and tripping over the Rockband chord while we were playing, flying headfirst across the room.

- Getting an awesome Little Sis!

- Rooming with Brecken & Missy and all of our strange sleeping patterns. Here's just one example:

So one night I woke up around 4 in the morning to hear someone in my room having a true coughing fit. All of a sudden I hear in a gasping voice, "I neeeed waterrrr." So I grab one of my bottles and throw it over to Brecken. Right as I threw it I realized it was Missy coughing. Brecken: "WHAT WAS THAT?!" Me: "It's for Missy... sorry gosh," and I roll over and fall back asleep. While I'm drifting off I hear Breck telling Missy: "You know what you need- some sugar free cough drops." (So your teeth don't rot) Something only Brecken would say. I loved living with these guys- best room in the house!

- Gossip Girl in the basement of the Deeg and having to pause it because we are all screaming so loud and fighting over who's hotter, Nate or Chuck. (Lauren: "I will sell my body to Chuck!")

- Jane working on upping her numbers.

- Harry Potter foursquare at the Sig. Moaning Myrtle was the lowest square and you had to moan every time you got the ball.

- Taking the boat out by myself!

- Papa with the Club House Crew

-Tape beards with Annie and Mash because we are just that cool.

- The longest week of my life all starting with my car getting stolen, three midterms, one paper, Halloween, and planning formal. It was a long week.

- Lauren and I losing our minds in the Deeg living room- "eee a-oooyeddd eeryoneeee!!!!"

- Utah football games. Especially the TCU game and the BYU game.

- The post-partdum soccer league.

- Snowbird with Jake, Masha and Rich. A good end to a bad day.

- Endless hours of RockBand with Mash.

- Jim & Pam. Notice the Keds.

- Visiting Erin at U of A: the Feej and the Deeg, Oxygen Tank, poop popsicles, Ya Ya and other fun stuff.

- DG's at the Drive-In: of course it rained.

- Lauren's middle part and flannel pajamas.

- Sig Techno Party. Tall t's and doo rags... that's what's up!

- Ski class with Masha.

- "Take it with a grain of salt, uh huh, yeah."

- Fleece Navidad!

- The DGs pulling of Casino Night essentially the day of and having it be a huge success!

- Winning Songfest two years in a row!

- Masha's surprise 20th birthday party.

- Leaves in the chapter room

- An awesome night of musical chairs and blind sunglasses

- Grilling hot diggity dogs with Breck for Rush

- Bid Day

- Late night chats with Brecken talking about important things.

- The OC with Amanda and all of the drama that we make fun of.

- Doing anything and everything with Mash- all of the awesome adventures of Mammy & Fannie.

Quite the hefty post, especially to start off a new blog but it has just been such an awesome semester. Now on to London and to all of the fun adventures to be had there!
