Woahhh!

I can't believe I've already been here for 5 days!  I feel like it's about about 50.  Where to start...?

Hmm, okay. For starters, my flat is in probably the best location to live in London!  It's 2 blocks from Westminster Abbey, Parliment and Big Ben!  My walk to the Westminster tube station to class everyday is GORGEOUS!  No matter how many times I walk past Big Ben I always have to look up.  My flat is in a great, safe location and I couldn't have asked for anything better!

My screen saver for the past 2 months..

...my view walking to class!

On my first full day in London, the whole isa group took a 2 and a half hour tour around this beautiful city!  We took an old double decker and theres only one other like it in the city.  They're for special occasions and cost a lot of money.  Its super cute and vintage!  Our tour guide told us our bus was the EXACT one Kate Middleton to be wed to Prince William and she said that me and my roommaite, Caity, were sitting in the same seat she sat in!!! Omg I seriously screamed when she told me.  I still have royal wedding fever.. 

But the tour was great and out tour guide was so imformative!  We drove all aound London and saw so many amazing things like Diagon Alley from Harry Potter, The Tower of London, and the London Bridge!  I totally wouldn't mind taking another tour.

Diagon Alley!

Tower of London

The next day Caity and I roamed the city ourselves.  We shopped around Oxford Street and went to Buckingham Palace.  Omg that place is HUGE.  Oxford Street is the largest shopping strip in the world!!  It's a really really bad thing that I live 10 minites from it.. 

It's a shame I couldn't find Harry..

Yesterday (Tuesday) we got up early (again...) and finialized our class schedules.  I lucked out and have a 4 day weekend!  How could my week seriously get any better?!  I'm so thankful that I have such a long weekend while I'm living in London!

After that I finally dragged Caity to Abbey Road!!  I had so much fun there, it was amazing!  Of course I walked across it like 8 times and I signed the wall twice.  My mom even got a picture of me when she was watching it live online! (abbeyroad.com/thecrossing)  I've always wanted to go to Abbey Road and it was a dream come true to finally go!  I'm going there at least once a week while I'm here. :)

Yesterday we also went to Harrods and had High Tea!  It was so yummy!  We had tea, finger sandiches, biscuits, and a lot of dessert!  I'm srating to like english tea, especially after have cold tea with an ungodly amount of sugur in it down in the south..  Here, they put milk in their tea!  I love it! After tea we spent four hours just walking around and getting lost at Harrods.  It was incredible!  I've decided before I leave, I'm purchasing some Louboutins from Harrods.

Abbey Road!

Today was more of a relaxing day.  We slept until 1 p.m. and didnt leave the flat until approx. 3.  We've been on a mission since the day we got here to buy a hair dryer but we've been so busy roaming London that we haven't run into a store that has one!  So we went to Primark today to try to find one.. it was a trap!  Primark is like Forever 21 on steroids, literally.  We were in the store for about and hour and a half.  I was very happy with my purchases and so was my wallet!  The most expensive pair of shoes I found were only 20 pounds!!  We didn't walk out of that store empty handed, but we failed to buy a hair dryer.  So once again, that is on the agenda for tomorrow.

Tomorrow all of the study abroud students at Westminster have a boat party/ disco on the river Thames! 

I love London so much, I don't think I'm ever going to leave.

P.S. for all of my relatives and friends without a Facebook here's my link to my shutterfly to look at my pictures!
