For the girls in Flat 7

Cheers to the girls in Flat 7!

This one is for each of you, as we pack and figure how the hell we are going to get all our stuff back let’s remember the laughter we shared. In a few short weeks we shared a bond that will be unique for the rest of our lives. The memories will be forever…

Wendy and your tequila shots, then eating 10 lemon wedges; literally eating them. Thanks for always laughing when I dance in the room- you know it keeps me going. Thanks for letting me vent even when you got annoyed with me and then for the times when you were on the same page… like Paris!!! AHHHH  I’m gonna miss being a flat mate with you!!

F.O.B aka Jackie D and your shopping, whenever we didn’t know where you were we assumed you were at Primark or Topshop and then sure enough you came home with one, or both, of those bags. Thanks for checking on of my bags in for me and for getting my travel card when we went to Paris. It’s been great getting to know you and your silly ways.

Blake and your signing, your nudist ways and always apologizing. The time I spent with you was fun so don’t apologize. We will re-unit soon enough and ride our bikes on the beach! But please don’t make me walk up a spiral staircase in a tube station that is never ending again! =) Every time I see twirls (if that ever is in CA) know that I will always think of you!

Kaitlyn and your shots of vodka when we first got here and always falling or tripping thanks for keeping the mood light around here. I will miss your laugh too it is very unique.

Then there is Jackie Fanara… I have nothing to say about you!! Haha J/K I won’t miss being woken up in the middle of the night by your loud voice/laughter or phone calls! LOL But I will miss your laughter and being able to tell it the way it is around you!! ;) I’m sorry we never went to the park together or the ice bar but the memories I created with you will never be forgotten!!

Let’s not forget Nancy- Although all our time was cut short with you, we missed you terribly! I missed talking about the elephant with you! Walking around London and doing all the cool things! Please please please let me know when you get back from Hong Kong and we will need to get together. Barcelona was my favorite time with you and I have the best memories with you from there =) !!

Let’s all raise our glasses tonight at dinner and member these 10 weeks forever!!

Its been a long time; Shouldn't have left you...

Sorry it’s been a while and now I will be home soon, but let me fill you in…. Memorial weekend for you guys back home is not memorial weekend here obviously but we did have that Monday off and so we went to Paris. I honestly was not too impressed with the city. The French Open was that weekend as well so it was super busy and dirty, the French are completely obviously about their hatred for Americans even when we tried to speak French. So anyway the only good parts of the weekend were seeing the Eiffel Tour at night- very pretty and a very neat experience and then Disneyland! I think we enjoyed Disneyland so much more because of how the weekend was going, because to be honest it is a lot smaller than Disneyland in Anaheim but it was fun to go on the different versions of the same rides.  The return route to London was a very very long one. We missed our ferry so we had to take a later one which just made it a longer day but we eventually got home and all in all enjoyed seeing Paris.

The following days were my last days at my internship and I was really sad to leave, the girl there were soooooo cool and they were sad I was leaving; their biggest complaint was that they were going to miss my chicy-ness and no one was like me. Haha chicy (cheek-e) is like sarcasism, witty, funny all in one. I guess I am chicy. Then Thursday, my last day, we ate lots of junk food and didn’t do too much work just enjoyed each other’s company and said our good bye's at the end of the day. I was really sad to leave but a lot of the girls visit L.A on holiday so I will get to see them soon! Also, the company has a project in L.A that they will be needing help with and Mark, the owner said; he would love to give me work!!  So I am excited for that.

Friday was our last day of class nothing exciting about that just the fact that it was the last day.

Yesterday, Saturday, we went shopping and just had a relaxing day. I started to pack all my stuff that I have bought here for everyone and myself and I think I am going to need to get another suitcase. Not even joking… I don’t know how I ended up with so much!! LOL I already came with 3… Maybe I can bust out some mad packing skills and squeeze it all in the 3 I have. We will see what happens. Today is just another relaxing day….

Ill post pictures later today! 

Up, Down and trying to get back Up

Today was fun until 8pm. I found myself all over London, I FOUND A CHIPOTLE!! Lunch tomorrow, I went to the Tate Modern which is a really cool modern art museum and then I made way back home after long day on my feet. I registered at 8pm London time for Fall quarter and of course it has been a hassle. I need a class that is only offered in the Fall and the teacher won’t give me a permission number to add the class (because I am taking a prereq for the class at the same time) until he gets back from his conference so I had to scramble and find a third class.. ugh this was the downer of that day. I am so frustrated I just want to be down with Cal Poly get married and move on with life. I just keep seeing the $$ signs add up on dang loans and I am over it! SCREW SCHOOL! Ha I know I know got to make Mom and Dad proud but seriously school has never been my thing. So now I am trying to drown the other flat mates out with the loud music in my ear phones as I chat on AIM with a friend and Aris. Can’t wait to get back home but also am going to miss it here. Prolly more than I think. Well its 9pm now I haven’t eaten dinner yet and I need to get something in my belly.  See you all soon I’ll be home in 21days!!

Well I got a hold of EuroStar today, they said my card would be credited back in 5 business days. I am crossing my fingers everything goes smoothly after that. Today was a BEAUTIFUL day. The sun was out, it was close to 70 degrees and it was no pretty outside. I strolled thru the park, did some shopping it was wonderful. It is suppose to be like this for the rest of the week so I am looking forward to that.
Nothing to exciting has been happening or has happened since my EuroStar disaster. But will blog again soon when I have more to share 

F*@! Eurostar

So! We tried to journey to Paris today on the Eurostar and didn’t make it very far. Stopped in Ashford (not like you know where that is, but it’s not far from London). There was a fire in the Euro tunnel and we got stopped for 2 hours. Since our trip was a day trip Wendy and I decided to terminate and head back to London! We were told the train wouldn’t get the next news update till 10am and it was 9am so we walked to the other platform to catch a train back and as we are sitting in the coffee shop looking at the window at the Eurostar train we just departed from across the track we see it take off!!! >: o It was like a since out a movie as our jaws dropped.

Anyway, we were told Eurostar might refund us since it was something out of our control, but we can’t get a hold of Eurostar!! So Wendy and I decided Pizza, Malibu, Pineapple Juice and getting me a Louis Vuitton would be a better day/night for us! SO here we are pizza in our face dancing and sipping on some gin… I mean juice… I mean Malibu!! =)

Barcelona Baby

So this past weekend a few girls and I went to Barcelona, Spain. It was quite an adventure to get there….. Short story- we missed our flight because we didn’t know that because we have non UK passports we needed a stamp on our boarding pass, so they didn’t let us board.

Note: We had an 8am flight so we got up at 4am to leave and catch the bus to the airport

We were escorted back through security and had to purchase another ticket because the company we were flying with does cheap flights and they are not refundable. Then to add on top of everything the only other flight to Barcelona was from a different airport and at 6pm so we bought the ticket, got a ticket for a coach to take us to the other airport and then continued our journey to the second airport. We decided just to go straight there regardless that the flight left at 6pm at it was only 9am. We got there about noon and spent the next 6 hours in the airport. It was a long day but we eventually made it and arrived in Barcelona at midnight local time.
The city is beautiful and ended up being a very enjoyable weekend. Pictures are up on facebook for you to check out. It’s not all of them but you can get an idea. It was so nice to feel the sun on my skin. The food was nothing to rave about though; I’m finding that to be a common thing here in Europe. HA!
That’s all for today, I haven’t been feeling to swell today so I am going to go rest some more.

I will be home in 38days!!

So far I need on my places to eat as soon as I get home:
Islands (duh)
Chipotle
Red Robin
Wahoo’s
Some good fried rice

I forgot one

What someone will do for a good picture.
