We've just booked a flight to Dublin(, Ireland, obviously!) for next Thursday, the 3rd. We don't really have plans or anything... we're just going up on Thursday afternoon and going back to London on Sunday to meet our class for a field study, and getting back to the castle by bus. The hostel is booked as well. We're trying to do this as cheaply ( Read more... )

I'll post my pictures from the Museum of Childhood at another time, if anyone is interested, but there are a lot of them and I should be asleep right now! So I will just post my pictures from Sunday's trip to Stonehenge and the Cathedral in Salisbury instead.

IT WAS FREEZING OUT! AND VERY WINDY!

Everyone tells me that McD's is ( Read more... )

We've been going nonstop, with the classes and the eating and the trying to sleep on occasion, so I haven't been posting, and sadly, I haven't really been taking many pictures either ( Read more... )

I'm still not packed. I'm leaving tonight. I'll get to the UK Friday morning, and then we'll go to the castle.

This is after I make a few friends and have something to talk about, you know ( Read more... )
