So a couple of kids and I decided we were going to head to London for a overnight trip. We booked a room at St. Christophers Inn, which is the hostel I stayed in on my first trip to London, oo the memories! It felt soo nice to be back in London, like I was home. We went to the Tate muesum..OMG AWESOME! There was great modern art, and this kid I live with Pat is an art major so he was teaching us all kind of stuff! And we would ask us what we thought of a sculpture, and I think I was pretty good at it. We then went to see the Globe Theater and crossed the Millenium Bridge. I like to walk ahead of the others sometimes beacause I like to think, so I am walking and see a bunch of security standing in the middle. Being the cocky ass I am I for sure think they are here for me. But as I got closer I noticed that I actually new it was. It was Luna and Neville from Harry Potter! Now, Kath, Rachel, Dana, Julie, Mom and Dad know how FRIGGEN awesome this is! I actually talked to to Luna who's name is Ivanka, we talked about school and she asked why I chose here to study and I forgot I was talking to an actor. But it was nice, I got a picture of her but not with her, I didn;t want to be rude or a crazy fan. But I did ask her to wait for my roomie Kelly who is OBSESSED with everything Potter, And she did and I introduced them and she got her picture!
After that we went to Camden street which is a GREAT flea market where I could shop...sorry Dad! But I promise I didn;t break the bank, I got a nice sweater and little dress!
So remeber the guy Mike I wrote about? Well he has a girlfriend so no worries. We had a good talk session and we've decided that we are eachothers new BFF's! So it is nice to have a guy friend instead of a million girls. I am finally feeling a little better, but here they don;t believe in western medication. Which I hate cause I would rather just be drugged up and feeling better. But after a week of suffering I think I am getting better! Maryann, a girl from Germany took good care of me, made me tea and did steam treatments.

1,2,3 Tequila!!!
This morning at 9am I was awaken by a big knowck on the door, I procedded to yell "GO AWAY!" Thinking it was a flat mate and then again I heard a knock, I opened my door and in front of me was a security gaurd, telling me I had an hour to move out into a different room and to go talk to accomodation services. I started panicking and went to Lois (she is in charge of exchange students) I walked into her office and she said hello and then I burst into tears relaying the story and to calm me she offered me tea and all I could say was "That would be nice" she then talked to another woman who told me it was a mistake and I don;t have to move, needless to say I was overwhelmed and already told myself I was goioing out tonight!
So Last night we all went to the pub, and when I say all I mean all 20 of us flatmates, boys and girls!!! The girls decided to go all out and where dresses and highheels. I ended up borrowing a really saucy dress from my friend Aubrey, pink and very short and wore my zebra heels. We all decided to pre-game before we left so we could save money, wine is my new weakness, cheap and gets the job done! I was the first to get to the bouncer and I handed him my Jersey licenese and he stared at it for five mins and looks up and goes "your prettier in person" I didn;t know whether to be offended or not, but he let me in and I made a bee line right to the bar and got a Shmirnoff Ice. All in all I had ALOT of wine, three shots,a shmirnoff, and a beer. I don;t know how I made it home...oh yeah I walked! I can now say I have walked barefoot through the streets of Worcester..Dana would be so proud.
The bar had a great dance floor, and we all took over and made a big circle. It was like being at a Crowley party! (I learned from the best!!!) They even played a Billy Joel Song!! But I think the big hit was my thriller dance (THANKS RARA!!!) I have a flatmate named Mike from Norway who I think has a crush on me...he bought me a drink and was dancing the whole night with me, so I will keep you updated..though I will say he is very nice but not my type, so I think I would like to just be friends.
Today we all decided to go have a picnic by the river, it was sunny and about 70 degrees. We sat and talked for hours and just relaxed from the past week, my liver was thanking me hahha.
On Sunday we had a day trip planned through the school to the Malvern Hills, which are very much like the mountains of Colorado...and we hiked them!!! There were seven peaks we had to go up and down, it was beautiful but exhausting!!! At each peak you could see a 360 degree view of England and some of Whales and Scotland When we got home we all went right to bed, and then I awoke with a cold! I have strep...as ushal Jennifer Rose Fytelson is sick. But I went to the doctor and got medicine. It was free for me to see the doctor due to the healthcare in England (America should def look into this) and only 7 pounds for my meds. I was happy!

I'll make you like me!!!
So I made it through the 6 hour plane ride, on 9/11, alone, next to a drunk. I got to the airport and got through security pretty easy, but after I got through I realized my gate was about two miles away on the other side of the airport. So I had to carry my purse, computer bag, AND luggage all the way to the end. By the time I reached my gate I was shaking when I sat down, due to clearly being out of shape! I sat there for about 10 mins before I was bored, so I decided to call Uncle Ray and say bye, he calmed me about my flying anxiety and then I had to board the plane.
As I sat on the plane I made friends with my two seat mates, a married couple from England, the woman was nice the man liked to drink. But they were nice enough to sit with, until the man asked me to go buy him his 6th drink, due to the fact that he didn’t want the stewardess to think he was drinking to much, ironic. While I was up getting his drink, evidently he got up as well to use the bathroom, I also had to use it and pushed the vacant door open, and there was my seat mate! I backed out with a shocking look on my face and the nice stewardess pulled me to the back of the plane where they were getting breakfast ready and handed me a shot of whiskey and said “it’s on me, I think you need it.” After that shot I hung out in the back of the plane for about an hour and helped them serve breakfast.
We FINALLY landed, I ran off the plane and through customs, and ran into a girl who actually was going to Worcester too!! Her name is Kelly and she is really sweet! When we met up with the school there was our school greeter and two other boys waiting, American boys. I thought I was leaving them at home. When I arrived at school it was 8am and we checked in and got our rooms. I LIVE IN A FLAT!!! How awesome is that!? Across the hall from me is a nice Italian guy named Alex, and a German guy named Denny…SOOOOO HOOTTT!!! But taken. Needless to say all the girls are heart broken. We all joke that we are in a relationship with him...he just doesn’t know yet. There is also a German girl named Heidi, who I wasn’t a fan of at first started talking to me A LOT so we have been getting to know each others, she is actually really nice. There is also a girl from Australia named Prenna, she is soo funny! We have all explored the city which is supposedly a 10 min walk for like 30 min walk all with hills! The American boys tried to teach the others beer pong..but most of the girls gave up and we all bonded in our room to Britney Spears!
The girls have also begun a quote book! Since Denny has broke our hearts we have come up with the “Flush” system , when we see a cute guy we yell flush, very simple! The first quote in the book was by me and this may be the only thing that the group remembers of me, I was telling them of how I am shy (which they did not believe) and I was like (jokingly) “I’ll make you like me!”
So today I played SOCCER!!! I haven’t played in a while and I played with all boys, Italian, German, British, Norway, you name it they were probably there!!! I think I did pretty well, held my own out there. Got the poo kicked out of me though…I got kicked in the arm, kleeted in the calf, and did a great header!!! HHAAAAA I LOVE IT HERE SOOO MUCH!
