welcome august - how'd you get here so FAST?!

well we've been doing our very best to pack every second with as many cool things as possible, and I'd say we're pretty good at it!
saturday we were up early, went to primark - went crazy, again - went to portabello road, then went to greenwich where we went through the maritime museum and the planitarium. and, most importantly, stood on the prime meridian! and straddled it. and did the hokey pokey on top. and tiptoed down the line. etc. etc. etc. I feel very satisfied with my time at zero longitude.
we rode the boat back = very wobbely. left me a little sick...
we went to the rainforsest cafe for dinner, delicious (except for the surprise seafood in my dish which i thought from the description was going to be some kind of a vegitable - thanks sarah...)and remarkably expensive.
gelato mio for dessert. the most delicious thing on earth. by far.
watched persuassion for class back at the center.

sunday:
church! I love my ward.
then sarah and I went straight to the national portait gallery and did the life of christ tour that was an audio guide that took us to, and told us about lots of scenes of christs life - all the best artists. all the good stuff. Waht a great way to spend a sunday! after it was over we caught a couple reubens and Monets before we left...
last day on kitchen duty!!
best dessert hands down that we've had at the center - sarah and I stole a second and split. best sin ever!
fireside by singles ward here! 10 people came and shared their conversion stories. so great! they are awesome examples. and it makes me so0oOOo0 excited to serve my mission!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Monday:
really feelin sick today. went to class - took a test in austen on 100% baby :)
slept through tates class :( its the advil pm that lindsay fed me last night... made me real woosy
took a nap. i'm ashamed of myself.
went to hamstead heath! big park with a great view of the whole city. we all broght blankets and homeowrk and attempted to study. WE HAVE SO MUCH DUE THIS WEEK!! especially me, cause for some reason I thought it wouldn't be a big deal to leave eraly... so i have to do all my finals sometime too.... ack!
home late for dinner.
went to FHE at the hyde park chapel. we watched muppets in mannhatan... brought back happy childhood days, but kind of felt like I was wasting my precious time.
...which I'm now spending blogging? can't justify it. must do homeowork. or sleep - I don't want to feel gross and sick again tomorrow.

cause I'm sure we're going to PACK it all in tomorrow too :)



ps I LOVE LONDON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
