The Last Couple Days/ Westminster Abbey

Greetings! The last couple days have been very good. Thursday was another day of class. I had my Winston Churchill class from 2:30-4:30 and it was really good. I've enjoyed all my classes thus far. The teachers are pretty laid back and don't try to load us down so we can't do things on our own. They know that we want to explore and travel and all that fun stuff. After class, all the girls in the flat just hung out and ate dinner. We walked over to the other flats to hang out with some friends. It was a lot of fun. The girls are very nice, and I'm enjoying getting to know them.

Friday was the first day I felt well rested. I slept good Thursday night and was able to sleep in as well. It was wonderful. Hopefully, the same will happen again tonight. Friday morning we all got ready and went shopping at Oxford Circus. It was an interesting experience. I love shopping, but today was not my favorite experience. I was completely overwhelmed by how many people were around and how large the stores were. I know that sounds crazy that I'm partly complaining that the stores were big, but its just the fact that I'm not used to those size stores or that many people. Its probably not something I want to get used to either. We left there and came back to the flat to fix dinner. We had some friends over to the flat and we hung out then went around to some places out in Fulham. It was a lot of fun.

Its Saturday morning and I have officially been in London for a week. It has been quite a week! There are so many adjustments to make here, but I'm enjoying it regardless. We got up bright and early to go to Westminster Abbey. Let me just say that it was breath taking. The church was absolutely beautiful. There wasn't a detail missing anywhere. The outside, the inside, EVERYTHING was amazing. We weren't allowed to take pictures inside which was disappointing, but partially expected b/c that's how most historic places are. I just wanted to take pictures so bad b/c the inside was so amazing. I could have looked around for days and days in there and not even been able to take in half of what we saw. It was very cold inside as well. That part I didn't enjoy; however, it was quite a sunny day in London. I can already tell we aren't going to have many of those, which is sad. We do appreciate them when we do have them though. The tour of Westminster lasted about 2 hours or so and once we left we grab some lunch at a pub near the tube station. As I was saying before, everything is so different here. The adjustments aren't going to stop coming at me. For instance, today we ordered our food and then we paid before our food got there. Also, food places here don't wait until every body's food is ready to bring it out. They bring it out at different times. Its all very aggravating. The lunch was good though. Fish sandwich and chips (fries). I hope to post some pictures from Westminster and hope you all enjoy them as much as I did.
Thanks for the prayers! You all are very missed!
