Weekend

Heyyyy.
So last night was the boat party... it was really reallly fun. We had this little cruise ship type thing and there was an upstairs and a downstairs and and on the upstairs level there was a little deck for if you wanted to go outside. There were also a bar upstairs with a dance floor. Drinks were soooo expensive though, but of course I still bought them and some for other people. I hate being old enough to buy drinks here because I just love being friendly and feel the need to buy everyone drinks... I am gonna need to get a hold of that asap. Anywho the boat left around 730pm and went down the river till 11pm I think... It was so pretty seeing the London Eye and all the buildings lit up! After the boat docked, a couple of us decided to go to "TigerTiger" which is a really popular club in the city. It was a pretty good time, minus I lost the phone that I had just gotten that day....but I am hoping it turns up!
Today Meg and I signed up for the Tower of London trip so we woke up around 11am and met another group at noon to take the tube to The Tower. It was really cool seeing this because it showed exactly what it was like for them back in the day and its huge!! Unfortunately my camera died right when we got there but I'm going to just make copies of Megs. There were little museums inside the center of the Tower that showed all then actual crowns that the kings and queens wore and there gowns.  Also at the Tower we got to go up to the Bloody Tower which is where they kept all their prisioners! In the courtyard area there are 6 ravens that flock around and never leave. The British believe that if these ravens were to leave the Tower, England will fall! To ensure the ravens don't leave, the Brits clipped one of their wings... I thought that was really interesting.  We were probably there for 2 or 3 hours and probably could have stayed longer because it was so big but it was raining and part of it was outside so we decided to take the tube home and chill for the rest of the day. OHH one of the RA's told us that Robert Pattinson likes to go to the this pub literally a half a block from where I live.... I also walk by this pub to go EVERYWHERE so now everytime Meg and Lauren are creeps and look through all the winds to check out to see if he is there! haha. We are also thinking that he must live near by if he likes that pub.... well that is all for now!!
