Almost Two Months! Wow!

Hello everyone!

Update on London: It was excellent! Parliament was so awesome…. We got to sit in the House of Commons and the House of Lords (They were debating House of Lords Reform… very historic J )… it was so much fun! Then we went to the Tempest at night with Patrick Stewart… it was by far one of the best plays I have every gone to see! They are so good! They live eat and breathe Shakespeare and it shows… it was a really funny play and you really understood the story. It was just so great!
Then we had a fire drill at our hostel at 4:45 am that night… not so much fun… but the next day went so much better when we went to the British Museum the next day. It was really really cool! The Great hall is beautiful and you are overwhelmed by all that they have there! The Rosetta Stone was definitely a highlight! All in all it was a really good trip into London.

Now I’m just getting ready to take an exam for my third course tomorrow. We have had an intense two weeks on Biblical archeology and we have the exam tomorrow… honestly though I don’t feel like it’s an exam… its more like a large test J I’m sure it will be good. Plus tomorrow is St. Patty’s Day, so we will probably go to the pub in the evening to celebrate being done one more course.

In general things are going well. I’m really tired and I’m missing all of you at home. Thanks so much for your notes and letters! I really love reading about what’s going on with you too! We have a busy next couple of weeks, finishing a photography course and starting our final course in landscape poetry. Spring is still in high gear… the magnolia’s are blooming and the daffodils are out! It is so nice to just be out in all the sun! Mom says that you are also enjoying a time of warmer weather… looks like it’s the beginning of the end J

Anyway, hope you all have a good day/weekend! Cannot wait to talk to you soon!

Hey Jules...enough about the weather okay? The ice is blooming and the snow is blowing over here. Can you maybe blow really hard in our direction and send some of that spring over here? Miss you!
