Neglect.

There has been some major neglect to the blog.
I apologize.
So.
Just to catch you up to speed:

We went on our first overnight trip to Stratford/Oxford.
Birthplace of Shakespeare.
Saw Taming of the Shrew.
Went to the college (Oxford is AMAZING).
Saw some cute men.
Went to Warwick Castle.
And stayed at the cutest B&B ever.








We celebrated our one month anniversary of living in London by attending an Oscar Wilde play.
Too great.
Time is flying by so fast here I can't even stand it.




Travel week came and went! (FYI: Travel Week = Spring Break)
Our destination was beautiful Switzerland.
If you ever need a vacation, I suggest going there.
AMAZING.
We spend a day in Zurich,
Then headed up to Interlaken, (a town at the base of the Alps),
Grindewald, (a town IN the Alps),
And then back to London Town.
I loved every day of it.
We stayed in the sketchiest hostels,
Got 3 hours a sleep a night,
And LOVED it.







Theatre Monday continued with Madness of King George.
So good.
Great play with great people.



Valentine's Day.
Usually my least favorite day alive.
I had A BLAST this Valentine's Day.
We spent it at the Tate Modern Art Gallery in the afternoon.
And then headed off to The Vow for our V-Day date.
That's right.
24 girls taking over the Vue Shepard's Bush theatre.
Channing and I had a great night.



Wales/Bath/Stonehenge was our second night getaway.
Rainy the entire week.
Seeing some hot springs since the 1700's were great.
Climbed some rocks.
And had a great getaway.






I promise I'll be a better blogger...
Next up:
Phantom of the Opera tomorrow.
Midterm week.
And in 5 days, this girl is PRAGUE BOUND.

Dover.

This week consisted of:
Walking the Whitehall: the administration area of the UK Government and British royalty. Buckingham Palace and 10 Downing Street are located here.




Trotting the Temple: considered "Legal London," this area is a justice and political center of the city. It also is home to the Temple Church, modeled after the Holy Sepulcher.



Dover Day: Saturday trip to Dover's white cliffs, Dover Castle, and good old Canterbury and the cathedral, where my main man Thomas Becket was martyred (European Studies 336 paper holla!).






Watchin' the Wicked: enough said.




Next up: Stratford and Oxford.
