so we just got back from london : ) we had a pretty good time! first we went to the british library where we saw some cool stuff... nothing that really excited me... i felt kinda bad. i mean theres all this amazing stuff like the first bible printed in england and the actual magna carta and handels messiah and millions of other things of the same importance... and all i wanted to do was get a chocolate muffin and a caffe mocha in the cafe!!!!!! im such a terrible person! so anyways then me and lisa and sarah went to harrods!!!! it was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i was in heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!! seven floors of shopping!!!!!! it smelled so good... like a place with purses and shoes and clothes! : ) valentino, maxmara, dolce & gabana, fendi, gucci, louis vuitton, chanel, burberry, ralph lauren. oh it was wonderful!!!!! we spent two hours there instead of eating lunch! lol my new aspiration is to get a job there!!!!!!!!!! seriously! you just have to have retail experience! and you get a discount!!!!!!! so anyways then we were twenty minutes late meeting our group at trafalgar square... and they left us. but we were smart and decided to find our way to the cabinet war rooms where our group was going to next. so we started walking in the direction we thought it was and then about half way down the road we saw our group! so we sneaked our way into the back of the group without most people noticing. we are SO good! so yeah then we went through the war rooms which i liked better than the library bc i really like history alot, especially world war two. so then we left there and went back to harrods!!! and saw it all lit up at night, it was GORGEOUS!!!!! so we were in there for like two more hours : ) so at harrods i bought a mug thats green and gold just like the bags there and a box of the CUTEST christmas cards ever!! and a childrens book called katie in london(or something like that). its so cute! it talks about all the famous places in london and i figured i could use it when i teach : ) its adorable! so then we left there and were planning on eating at the hard rock cafe but it was going to be a two hour wait. we ended up taking the thing that flashes when your table is ready and going down to the bar and then deciding like five minutes later that we didnt want to wait that long. so we left lol. and we went to kings cross and took pictures at the harry potter platform 9 & 3/4. then we came back to oxford, i was SO tired! and now im just in the lab talking to carino and my mom and matt w. and everyone in the lab here in oxford is in a chat room together, its great! but i really need to go to bed... i have to go to church tomorrow and i just want to sleep in! i havent had a day to do nothing in FOREVER!!!!!!! and i really need it! guess i will have to wait three weeks til i go home! oh well. love you all!!!!!!! ~jen
