A Week Went By...

Wow, before I even know it, a week has gone by since I last wrote. It's been one crazy week, with filled with many different adventures, adventures that I could talk for days, or at least hours, about. But I won't. So here's the abridged version:

Wednesday, March 18
- Went to class, then Maria and I went to lunch at O'Neills
- Took a train to London in the early afternoon
- Went to the Tower of London, which was much cooler than I thought it would be! And the crowned jewels are pretty spectacular, too...
- Maria and I attempted to go to King's Cross Platform 9 3/4 (from Harry Potter) but we couldn't figure out how to get to the platform without having to buy a ticket, which was sad
- Left for Paris at 8:30 pm... via bus. Again.

Thursday, March 19
- Arrived in Paris at 6 am
- Went to Notre Dame and then St. Chapelle
- Went to our hotel (the same hotel I stayed in last time I went to Paris) and took a catnap
- Musee O'rsay - saw some Monet!
- We ate at a scrumptioius French cafe/restaurant for dinner, and had mousse chocolate for dessert - Mmm!
- Mickey D'd it for some interenet to check e-mail, then went to bed early

Friday, March 20
~ DISNEYLAND PARIS (where Maria and I met up with my Jess - it was fab.u.lous!

Saturday, March 21
- More Paris, this time with Jess included... Notre Dame, the Louvre, Champs Elysees, Arc D'Triumphe, Eiffel Tower...
- Left at 11pm for London

Sunday, March 22
- Arrived in London at 6am
- Wondered around Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens for a few hours, it was a beautiful day for that! While there, we saw the Princess Di Memoraial.
- Went to Westminster Abby (which was closed) and the Houses of Parliament
- Went to Buckingham Palace, and wandered through a park to get there, which was really cool
- Saw the Rosetta Stone at the British Musuem
- Took the train back to Winch at 3 pm, and just hung out in Winch

Monday, March 23
- Class
- Went to the city centre with Maria - a trip that included Shake-Away for some nutella (!) shakes, Sainsburys, and some chocolate shoppes...
- Walked with Maria to the bus stop that would take her to Heathrow - it started raining, the first time it rained while Maria was here. Cray-zee. We said good-bye in the rain, it was epic.
- Went back to Uni and worked on essays and other things, such as spring break plans

Tuesday, March 24
- Classes
- Spring Break Planning
- Cell Group, which went really well. I'm enjoying being back in a bible study; I can tell it has been missing in my life.

Today
- Class
- Finished packing all my stuff - students on campus are required to completely move out of their rooms over spring break. Hannah and I lugged all our belongings to Charlotte's, who was generous enough to let us keep our stuff there over break - for free.
- More spring break planning and preparing

And tomorrow... tomorrow I leave for Easter Break. First Stop: Barcelona! Bring on the adventure, I'm ready!
