Brighton (Day 45)
After getting back from all of that craziness in Stratford we got to spend the night in our own beds again before leaving on another trip, but this time it was only a day trip. We went to Brighton!
So fun right? Those chairs were everywhere and I really wanted to sit in one and have someone take my picture but for some unknown reason nobody else was as excited as I was about that plan. I'm not really sure what I pictured when our teachers told us we were going to Brighton but it sure wasn't this! As soon as we got there we heard about these incredible donuts "They are the best in all of Brighton" said the girl who spent a day here a while back and had only tried this place..but hey. We thought we would give it a whirl. So we walked all along the beach until we came to the one and only Beach Hut this tiny little shack of a place overlooking the beach. We got 6 for 3 pounds and each had one and they were actually really good..they don't compare to Pucks but who really could?
From donuts we walked back along the beach and walked along the pier. Man it was pretty. Who knew the UK had a beach!? Teasing. While we were on the pier we discovered the rides! Woot woot! Sadly enough nobody would go on the scary ride with me. One girl was down until she found out it was 5 pounds and then she bailed. Lame.
After piering we decided to go on an adventure to find all of the supposedly awesome vintage shops that were just up the road. We found them..but they weren't awesome. Most of them were these tiny little rooms with clothes in them that would only fit someone who was a 00. Awesome. So I didn't find anything super rad during our shopping but part way through I started to feel really shaky so I figured I needed to find something to eat-but there wasn't anything around us. My roommates and I broke off from the other 3 girls we had been walking around with and started to head back to the pier where we were supposed to meet the bus. I was feeling pretty weak by then so we found a grocery store and I bought some ritz crackers and a role. Way healthy right? But then I decided that I needed a milkshake too. I was on a role. I went from feelin shaky and weak to sooo sugar overloaded!
Day 46
On Saturday my roommates when to the Harry Potter exhibit that is here in London and I stayed behind to just spend the day! It was great. I really do love London and am so sad to be leaving it but I am so excited to get back home and have more than a few outfits and I can curl my hair! Oh the joys of life

Day 47
Sunday was my final Sunday here. It wasn't all that eventful. I got to see Abbey Tingey again-it was actually her last Sunday as well before she heads back to Utah for a few weeks and then heads out on her mission! Crazy. Anywho..church, food, sleeping, food, sleeping..that was my sunday!

Day 48
Yesterday morning we had our last Shakespeare class. Can you believe it?! We had our final in class which I found out I will definitely be docked for 2 questions I got wrong-blast. Then we went out for lunch and I got a panini..one that finally had pesto on it! And then we got ice cream-of course. Once we got back to the room we had to work on the take-home portion of that final and then once we got that done the rest of the day was ours!
My roommates decided that they were going to go to a park that we hadn't been too yet but I figured I needed a break for a while if I was going to be spending every minute with one for the next 11 days so I told them to go ahead without me and I would do my own thing. Pretty sure they think I am a freak because whenever I get the chance I let them go together to do something and I do my own thing but I just need my alone time! I get mean when I spend too much time with people and they bother me so really I was just doing them a favor..
Once they left I figured that since I hadn't gone running or done any real physical activity in the past 6 weeks that I needed to do something-so I went to Hyde Park and went for a "run". Yeah I think the running portion lasted 10 minutes. I hate running. I need insanity and STAT! The rest of the hour that I was out and about was me just strolling through the trees..and it would have been really peaceful except for the fact that I had forgotten to take my zyrtec pill that morning. Wow that was terrible. My nose was running and I ended up sneezing 36 times! Seriously I counted because it was so often! My eyes turned all red and they started to water. It was bad. People thought I was having a mental breakdown!
Day 49
Today was our last day in London! How sad is that? We had our third and final final this morning and we had to ACT! Um..what? Seriously almost had a heart attack but I managed to get the part with the least amount of anything involved..I just had to hand an oversized 'card' to one of the other girls. That was it! Phew! After class I went over to this noodle place for some lunch and managed to bring it all the way home before I ate it. Yeah..not good. Probably shouldn't just be going to asian restaurants willy nilly like that. After lunch I took my last shower in that teensy little thing they call a tub and went over to the boy's flat to do laundry. I'm pretty sure I washed every single article of clothing I brought with me because I am hoping that as I go throughout my last few days in Europe I wont need to do it again..cross your fingers! Later tonight we are going to go out for our last shake at one of the hamburger restaurants that we have grown fond of and then it will be my last night in bunkbed! Thank heavens! It's a little too rickety these days..the other night when Khrystalle was climbing into bed it made this terrible noise and I threw my hands up over me in the event that it collapsed..its that bad.
And then tomorrow..we are off to Whales! Heaven help us..theres me who is absolutely hopeless when it comes to directions and then there is Khrystalle who thinks she is good at them..debatable. We are quite the pair! Hopefully we will have good internet access so that I can keep updating but if not I will be in Whales until the 22nd and then Italy until July 1 when I come home to open my mission call! Stoked.
