Mmm, you taste lovely!

Today's quote goes to four-year-old Tara, who kept playing some weird game where she made us play dead and then pretended to eat us. No idea, but hearing that line in a British child's mouth is hilarious.
Okay, I'm definitely needing a brain break from Shakespeare paper writing, so I'll catch up. How crazy is it that I'm coming home on Saturday?
Sunday was our last day in the Wandsworth Common ward. The sweet Primary president gave Cami and me a box of Celebrations (chocolate) to say thank you for helping in the primary/nursury (as well as some sweet thank you notes) and they asked us to bear our testimonies one more time in sacrament meeting. As we were leaving, a Ugandan lady from our ward invited us to dinner. She was so excited about it that we couldn't resist, even though we knew the week was going to be busy with studying and paper writing.

Me with Seth on our last day. He liked me.

My counterpart, Cherie, who is from Jamaica.

After dinner, we had a really nice testimony meeting that felt a little bit like girls camp. I cried though, so it had to be good. After the meeting, I set up shop for Shakespeare paper consultations, and since I'm pretty much a Shakespeare genius, it was fun.
Monday was a day of paper writing, but I did go to a play that night, probably my last unless I find some time stored up somewhere. I went with Katie and Stephen to see The 39 Steps, and it was delightful - funny, creative, lots of nods to Hitchcock. Awesome.
When I got home I had a good talk with David, Katie, and Becky about the conflict in Georgia, the importance of developing your own opinion about things, English teachers who were awesome, short stories, John Locke, Karl Marx, and more. Consequently, I didn't get a lot of sleep and slept in a little on Tuesday. Whoops.

One of my favorite signs in the tube - it's so true.

Chilling in Piccadilly Circus (The Times Square of London) with Stephen. He made Katie take another picture because he thought this one was too cheesy, but this one was funnier.

Tuesday was the last day of class, but after class it was back to the paper - hard core this time. I had three pages done by the time we needed to leave to go to Joyce's house (the Ugandan lady from our ward) for dinner. She was so sweet, and made some really good Ugandan food - rice and potatoes, peanut sauce, chicken, Ugandan Sprite, and cake with custard.

Here's Cami playing with Tara. It was adorable.

All of us in Joyce's backyard.

I love this little girl.

This morning we went to Westminster Abbey. I still can't believe that Lindsey and Krissie didn't go in there. I think that place is rockin. I love looking down and seeing Charles Darwin under my feet. This time I had a total nerd out moment when I saw William Wilberforce and William Pitt. Hurrah for being excited about things besides Poet's Corner! I love being nerdy about politicians now too.
On the way home, Erin and I stopped at H&M because I wanted a hat, but instead I got a bracelet and a really pretty skirt - my last splurge on myself - because I wasn't sure that the hat was ever going to look good on me. We walked across Kensington Gardens, ate at Gregg's, and came home, and I've pretty much been sitting here writing my Shakespeare paper ever since. Or trying to. Good times.
Okay. Back to work, possibly with Poli Sci if Shakespeare gets too dodgey. But I'm getting closer!
See you all soon. :S
