Alia!

Ilana and Jess left me on Friday & Saturday, respectively, and now I'm the only Vandy girl left in our apartments. My flat has emptied from 8 girls to 3 and another one of my flatmates leaves this Wednesday

But... ALIA COMES TOMORROW :) I know you sometimes read my blog, so s/o :) I'm so excited! We're going to run around London for 10 days and then head to Paris on June 6th! 

A few good snippets of us...

Windsor

Emily and I went to Windsor last Thursday and it's so close to London! The train ride was maybe 20 minutes but took longer since we had to transfer trains. We walked around the castle, stayed to watch the changing of the guard for 10 minutes and walked to Eton and around town. 

I'm pretty sure they stood in this formation for about 10 minutes... and then a band of them came strutting through and lined up beside these un-musical guys

 oh hey, the Queen lives there

 view from a ledge, can see Eton in the background

 St. George's Chapel

The flag means the Queen's in! 

 outside of the walls of the palace, soooo many foreign high school students

UCL IS OVER

Today I finished my last 3 hour final exam at 1 PM AND I'M OFFICIALLY DONE WITH UCL FOREVER!!!! I could not be more excited :) now I have a month in London till my parents get here June 13th and we head to Greece! LET THE ADVENTURES BEGIN :) ....and the med school apps

Running around London

Last night we went out to the Book Club for Laura's 21st birthday...it was interesting to say the least:)

It was super nice out today so I went wandering around London by myself since everyone else was studying or pretending to study

 Hyde park

Wellington Arch on the way to Buckingham

 Green Park Gate

  in St. James's Park

 heh.. it looks like it has no neck

 Horse Guard building! & London Eye in the background

 this guard wasn't messing around

 Big Ben & Westminster

 National Gallery & Trafalgar Square. After this I ran around Chinatown for a while looking at all the food I'm gonna eat when I get home in about a month:) 

 On my way home I randomly ran into this statue of Reagan....

 ...and the Maryland flag?!?! I was SO confused until..

 I saw this & realized it was the US embassy. The armed guards outside made a lot more sense, haha. It's actually pretty close to where I currently live so in case I'm ever chased in a Robert Langdon-esque style, I know where to go

Animals in war memorial next to Hyde Park

horse & dog leading the way

Overall I was out for a little over 3 hours & it's so much better to see a city while walking! Randomly ran into all these fun things & saw memorials/buildings/stores that aren't on all the big streets or the big tourist attractions:)

My life on Instagram

(Mostly) Instagram pictures from the past month and a half:)
