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

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

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,

Peter Pan in Hyde Park

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

Before Part B

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

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!
