Yesterday Veronica and I went to the British Museum. It's probably one of the most amazing museums i have ever been in. Definitely one of my favorites in the top with the Tate Modern. It's snowing pollen outside. 12 hour Allegra D is amazing ( Read more... )

Aurora, Chris, Shavon, Veronica and myself spent the day in Brighton with beautiful 70 degree weather, laying on the beach eating Tesco sandwiches for 2 quid. Nothing beat the relaxation we enjoyed today because exams start this coming week and we deserve to sit around and be lazy for a day or two ( Read more... )
