I can't believe there are only 2 weeks left of this semester in London. It seems like my time here has gone by quite fast, but also very slowly. I know that I am ready to come home, though. This weekend showed me that. I have done everything in London that I wanted to, so that is how I know that it is time. This weekend started off terrible, and I will always remember certain memories about my Thanksgiving here, but I'm putting that behind me. I spent a lot of the weekend going around London, doing things I hadn't done yet. On Friday morning, I went to Abbey Road with Jess, Steph, and Rachel, and we took the most epic picture. It looks just like the Abbey Road Beatles cover, complete with a cigarette for Rachel who was supposed to be Paul McCartney. Then, Jess, Rachel, and I went to Chinatown and got dumplings, which were absolutely delicious. I will have to go back there before we leave for sure, and we decided to check out the British Museum, where we saw the Rosetta Stone and many artifacts from different countries around the world. Then, we got delicious butterbeer from Starbucks. It is on their secret menu, and we all became obsessed with it. That night, I watched Harry Potter with Rachel. I loved watching it because I recognized so many of the places in the movie since I have been to a lot of them, and I got to stare at Rupert Grint again. :) Saturday was another busy day! Jess, Courtney, and I went to a quick lunch at Chipotle, and then Jess and I went to the Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace. I was able to see all of the royal carriages, including the gold plated coronation carriage. I really enjoyed going there, and we also walked through St. James Park before coming back. Later that night, we went out again for dinner at Giraffe and then Winter Wonderland. It was so crowded there, though, that we didn't stay for long because we literally couldn't move. Today, was a very chill day. I went to Camden Market with Jess and Steph where I bought souvenirs for friends! I have had a very eventful weekend, but now, I think I will lay in bed and relax for a while. Talk to you soon!
