I am so sad to have seen this last week rush by. Unfortunately, this means that my time left in London is now down to about three days. However, I do think I efficiently used my time this week to complete nearly everything I had set out to do in the one month I was here. On Monday, I was still somewhat groggy from my weekend in Paris. After class that morning, I went to the National Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery. I thoroughly enjoyed both of those free museums. After that, I ventured onto the MNM store in Leicester Square.
Tuesday I went to monument just off London Bridge, and climbed all three hundred and eleven steps to the top. Monument commemorates the Great London Fire of 1666. Once at the top of the structure, I enjoyed a panoramic view of the city and River Thames. Tuesday night Janaye and I went to the Lyceum Theatre to see the Lion King, and it was spectacular. The costumes, choreography, and overall theatrics were wonderful, and I am so glad I got to see a show while I was here!
Wednesday for class we worked out, and I began to feel sick that morning. Wednesday night I tried to recuperate, but failed. Thursday morning I woke up feeling about as bad as Wednesday, and headed to the Victoria and Albert Museum for a class field trip! It was so neat to look at costumes worn by Mick Jagger and Sir Elton John! After the museum, Terrence and I had lunch at Piccadilly Circus and then ventured over to the O2 arena. Thursday night a large group from CCSA went to the Walkabout Australian Bar for karaoke night. Dr. Lewis showed us how to cut a rug!! She can move! Overall it was a really fun night.
My plans for Friday include taking my final exam for this class in the morning, running over to the free “dirt” exhibition, and then going to a toga party at Barambah tomorrow night. Saturday I am planning on touring Buckingham Palace and possibly looking into finding last minute tickets to see “Mouse Trap” that afternoon. Sunday I plan on relaxing and making sure all of my belongings are as they should be and where they should be, and might try to make service at Westminster Abbey that morning. Sunday evening I believe a small group of us are going to have a sleepover together for our last night in London! I am so sad to see this trip end, but am also so blessed to have been handed this opportunity. I will never forget the friends I have made while studying abroad, and will always cherish this experience! Thank you all for everything!!
