Mmm mmm weekend

Weekends are never long enough! I slept in til 8:30 and went running around the park. After getting ready for the day me and Alyssa decided to meet up with the rest of our roommates who had already left for the day. We found our way to St. Paul's station, and from there walked to the Tate Modern Art Museum. To get there we walked across the Millenium Bridge-the same one that the dementors sabotage in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince! (We watched that last night and it was cool seeing it because we were just there!) I found out that...I don't really appreciate modern art haha. Some of it was cool but for the most part I didn't understand why it was in a museum.

We didn't spend too much time there, and walked to Borough Market to find some lunch. I want to eat everything in sight when we're there, it all looks so good! We walked down the sweets market first...oh boy! All the pastries and cupcakes and turkish delight and baclava were calling my name! I didn't end up getting anything there...well I DID try a cheese sample and jam and chorizo...but I didn't BUY anything! Me, Sarah, Alyssa and Kalyn ended up going to Wagamama's...they have yakisoba and ramen and that sort of thing! I'm so happy we went there! I got the yakisoba and had enough for leftovers too!

Since we didn't feel like going back to the centre quite yet, we walked down Portobello Road and just looked around at all the shops and stands and of course we ended up getting more food! Sarah bought a huge crepe with nutella and we all shared it...I could live off of those! After walking around for a long time we turned back and headed home, and spent the rest of the night not doing homework! haha We watched Harry Potter 6 and let our feet recover from all the walking!

Wow I write so much on here! I can't help it though! Okay really quick for today! I went to our Portuguese ward today, we introduced ourselves in sacrament meeting and I taught the little kids during second hour (in English thank goodness!) Their little accents are so adorable, and a little girl Maria really liked answering all the questions :) We walked home from church and I was happy to be indoors where it was warmer! I got to skype with my parents today so that was fun talking to them and hearing about them furniture shopping haha. Dinner was so good tonight! We had turkey and garlic mashed potatoes and squash and the best salad with strawberries and kiwis and candied cashews! And a HUGE chocolate cake! It was like the one Bruce eats on Matilda...Bruce! Bruce! Bruce!

Me and my roommates haven't been productive tonight...but we DID eat more cake and fruitella and watched engagement videos and followed wedding blogs and talked about bad dates. It's been an entertaining night haha

  1. Sounds like a fun night with your roommates. And fun that you got to teach the cute little kids! Jason said you were in a Portugese ward, how random. Sounds like the food is good too, which is good cause I've heard food in England is not so good. Is that not true? What do you guys do for dinner, is it provided? And look at you waking up early to go running! Do you have any roommates that are into fitness to go with you? I wish you were here so we could work out together! I've been doing some workout videos and what not :)
