It's a steep Hill, don't talk!


1. Stripper Juice- A conversation in which a study abroad classmate describes why he does not go to strip clubs
2. Flashback, Flash forward
3. Public Displays of Affection is a trend
4. It took me to travel to London to really understand God's grace in the smallest things (trees,rivers, lakes) It's the ragamuffin in me
5. Speaking of Ragamuffin, I am now reading The Ragamuffin Gospel, I encourage everyone to read it
6. I was in two hemispheres at one time...so cool
7. No vending machines here
8. No free water,like where are the water fountains??...grrr ( I have never been so dehydrated in my life)
9. I am taking pictures of everything...sooo feel like a tourist but darn proud of it.
10. BBQ weather is 70 degrees, man people would not like Atlanta
11. War Horse is the best example of theater I have seen in a long time. it is coming to broadway soon so be on the lookout
12. About to see the Prime Meridian and the tour guide says "Its a steep hill, don't talk" What did we do? Talk and was definitely out of breath
13. Had my first American moment on London, people tried to cut in line when we reached the Prime Meridian...nope, it was not going to work
14. We stole a bad teenage boy's water gun, with a good reason, he was squirting water at every person who passed by how rude!
15. I have come to the conclusion that kids run the parents over here. I would dare not wander off in the park while my mom has a search party after me!
16. When I come home I am going to spend a week watching American tv, don't bother me. Man we only have 4 channels over here
17. I am going to be so sexy when I come back, I have walked all over London and I will be walking a whole lot more for the next three weeks who needs Weight Watchers when you visit London??

LONDON TIMES


Hello good people! I know it has been a while since I have done a post but a lot has been going on, one of them being I AM IN LONDON YAAAAAYYY!! I have been over here for a week now and I have gotten pretty adjusted to everything here. I love this city and I especially love their appreciation for the arts. It is so a part of their culture like ... I dunno. I really can't think of antyhing that is really vital to the American culture like the way theatre is apart of the London culture. It is kind of sad but at the same time leaves me inspired to want to bring it to that level. Call me crazy but there is a possibility and I am a very optimistic person. (So there is hope) When I stop being optimistic, then run for the hills ladies and gentlemen... RUN! Anyway, I will be uploaded pics here and there of my experience. Maybe one pic a day that describes my day or something that interests me about the city. Also I have decided to start a "Random London List". This list will comprise of things I saw while traveling, random thoughts I had, or random things that I or some of my classmates have said. So I hope you enjoy the list and if there is a question about any of the items on the random list, just post a comment and I will explain.
