Bomb Scares!

Yeah, it's scary. I can walk to all of those places from where I live. I was at Picadilly Circus, Trafaulger Square, Leicester Square, etc... just yesterday. Today I was off as well, but I stayed home to clean and do laundry because central London is a mess. I'm trying not to let the whole bomb mess screw up my plans, but it's not really worth it to try to go out today. Right now most of central London is closed anyway - none of the theatres are even proforming tonight. I'm sure things will be sorted out soon and London will be back to normal though.

Anyway, in other recent news... Last week I went on some amazing day trips. I can officially say that I spent a semester in England and went to Oxford University!

Yesterday I went alllll around London taking pictures with the original Monopoly places. We're going to make our own board game. We didn't get them all, but almost! here are a few of my favorite pictures from our adventure - you'll see Kailey, Christa, Andie, Genia and myself:

On our way home. I have perfected the art of sleeping on the tube. Yaay for being short! This is surprisingly comfortable. Notice how wet my pants are from puddle jumping :) Bubbles came out of my socks when I walked!:
