I guess the main news since i've been back is that we had a snow storm...the biggest one London has seen for 20 years!!!   They couldn't handle it!  I think at the max we got 8 maybe 9 inches of snow and the whole city shut down.  the buses didn't run, the people who work for the underground couldn't get to work on the buses, so it all spireled downward and it was one big snow day - for a whole city!

Luckily i was working on monday or else i wouldn't have been able to go anywhere.  It was fun working anyway because we got "snow-time" after lunch which was great!  Yeah, I've seen more snow than this before, but it was so much fun because for quite a few of the girls it was the first time they had seen or been in snow!  It was so exciting!  We were all just like little kids throwing snow, eating snow, just playing in the snow. 

Everything pretty much opened up again on tuesday, but i think schools still were closed first night of snow
first night of snow
.  I didn't really feel like going out since it was really messy out and it was my first day off since i got back from dublin.  so i caught up on rest and worked on some projects that i needed to work on.  I ended up going to Camden town for a little bit with Cintia in the afternoon, and i got some posters for my room, but that was about how exciting my day was. 

I decided it was about time i visited the tower of london yesterday.  It ended up being a beautiful day with the sun shining and it was perfect because for most of the day i was outside.  I enjoyed the tower and i learned alot about it.  There were alot of prisoners held there as well as kings and queens who lived there.  I got to see the crowned jewels too!  It took me the majority of the day to get through everything and then i headed back, stopping at camden town again(i love it there!) to get some lunch.  I got some curry and a new pair of gloves and then headed back here.  Last night we had Cintia, Katelyn, and Georgie's welcome ceromony so we had lots to do last night.  Everything went well and we even had lots of food to try from cintia :) 

So here i am at the end of another two days off - starting work at 2 today.  I slept through breakfast so i can't wait for lunch. 

peace love snowballs
