Today was so much fun! We spent majority of the time at St. Paul's Cathedral . We had to pay 8.50 pounds so most of the group didn't go, only myself and two others went in...oh well, their loss. We walked around, sketched and lets be honest..stood in awe for a good 4 hours. We were able to go up to the top of the dome and get a bird's eye view of London which was really cool! There were about 500 steps to the top but it was well worth it! The view was amazing! Then after we grabbed some dinner, we were walking to Leinchester Square and saw that the Shrek 3 premiere was about to start!! Next thing I knew, I was snapping pictures of Cameron Diaz, Justin Timberlake, Antonio Banderaz, and Mike Myers! It was so great! I was hoping maybe for some random reason, David Beckham would decide to show up for it :) seeing how he is the only other person I'd like to see now!! Maybe I'll spot him tomorrow for a 21st birthday surprise!! haha Tomorrow we will be going out doing something for my birthday..possibly bowling? It has been hard getting my pictures up the last few days since we don't have Internet at our hostel and we get home pretty late, but I will have them all up really soon!

Happy Birthday Mom..and CJ :) I would love for you, Dad and Mandy to be here sharing these experiences with me! This morning most of the group woke up and went to church so the few of us who didn't go met up and grabbed some delicious English breakfast to start off the day. We then headed off to the Natural History Museum, and Oxford Street to do a little shopping :) Oxford street is like an outdoor mall filled with people, restaurants and shops to check out. It was quite different then home though, except for the McDonald's, KFC and Starbucks that seem to be on every corner...Our living situation is going better than I though. We are staying in a hostel with 6 girls to a room with one bathroom. It took us a few days to get in the swing of things but we are pretty good at working out the shower situation, mirror, etc. Our computer screen's work great as mirrors! haha we do what we can :)
