I just learned last night that I can see Big Ben from my window...how awesome is that? Don't lie. You're jealous.

This week has been horrible for me, sleep deprivation speaking. I've discovered that Katie and Kayla usually get together on Thursdays in Kayla's room to watch Ellen and Tyra and due homework that's due Friday, and so if I stay up till usually 3a or so, I can catch them online, or now that Kayla has skype (sort of) call them. It's GREAT. It's just makes me really sleepy.

Almost every night this past week I've been getting to bed after 2:00am, and Thursday was like $4:30, Friday we had a Lost Marathon in Kevin's room (he's French, therefore his dvds play in the tvs properly) and that show is so addicting we watched episodes untill nearly 6am, and then again last night after we got back from Stonehenge until 4-ish. Sadly, we are all caught up now with all the episodes that have come out, at this point, in the states. So that means, we have to try and hang out with Kevin more anyways so he doesn't think we just use him for Lost. Which we do. But it's okay, cause he's French. He likes the attention.

If you caught it above, yes, I did mention that Saturday we went to Stonehenge. Due to the night before I either ended up sleeping through my alarm of forgetting to set it, because at 8:30 Becca was banging on my door so we could get on the bus at 9:00. Surprisingly I wasn't tired, and didn't sleep at ALL on the way there. Which slightly annoyed people. But not Michelle, cause she was awake too. It just would've helped if we'd sat next to each other instead of chatting across rows of sleeping bodies. I have some absolutely hilarious videos that I'll try and post of her crazy antics. Apparently early mornings leave her slap happy from being too tired, or she simply is the Energizer Bunny. Which is the theory I choose.

Stonehenge was actually right next to the highway, we were all suprised when we pulled up and it was right there next to us. It just always seemed like it was out in the middle of nowhere. Which it kinda is, but there also happens to be this highway that runs through this middle of nowhwere. Apparently the place used to be a giant forested area, but all the trees were removed somehow and this ancient (what they think it was) burial ground was erected. The wierd part is that the stones come from a specific area in Whales (thousands of miles away) so no one has any idea how they were transported here, and then set up. They do know that before the stones were used, they had used wood, and dug the ditch around stonehenge with deer antlers, because bits of these were found in the ground and carbon dated back to an earlier time than the stones themselves. Anyways, here a few pics of that. It was extremely foggy when we got there, so that helped set the mood alot.

After Stonehenge we were dropped off in Salisbury, and did some market shopping (they had a "poundland"! a british dollar store, haha!) and visited the Salisbury Cathedral (I believe theres one more, in France somewhere). They're doing some repairs on it which started in 1986, the year I was born, and will supposedly be finished in 2005, but it was really cool just to see how old everything was, and all of the detail on the outside of the building as well as the inside. The interesting thing about the inside, that I've never seen in any other church, is that they have tombs all over around the interior. Some of them were built slightly different, but most of them had the tomb with a statue/figure on top, and all of the figures had some sort of animal at their feet, a dog, a lion, birds, etc.

Today we were supposed to go Ice Skating but its raining today, which sucks since London has been so non-London wheater wise since we've been here. But apparently it's getting back to normal, so we're saving Ice Skating for next weekend. It'll be awesome, it's an actual ice skating rink near the river, and the Tower Bridge.

(interesting bit of info for you: London Bridge was actually not the official name of the bridge everyone naturally thinks of, so someone bought it, and ended up with the real London bridge which was much smaller and now resides in Arizona)
