Since U Been Gone

Since U Been Gone:

-Kelly Clarkson disappeared from the social scene.

-...I Can breathe (…for the first time).

PROBLEM (30+ girls living on top of each other and one gets what she “thinks” is pneumonia…300 kleenex boxes later we realize its not pneumonia. Just the worst cold ever.) Yay.

-My computer died. See ya later generator! I’ll miss you :(

-NEW COMPUTER! I hate/love you.  I still love PC’s … but... now I have a mac. 

I know I’m macbook guy now that you always see in class doing the 4 fingered swipe down the mouse pad to sweep their millions of windows up, back and forth, back and forth, hypnotizing you into thinking you really need to be able to do that. No you don’t. It’s just annoying and extremely time consuming since when you have nothing to do you end up swiping like crazy as if that is going to spark some sort of project for you to do besides take notes in class.  No that doesn’t happen to me…

-Went to Paris? C’est Le Vie.

Best part of Chartres Cathedral besides the name. 

The Space Pod. Yes my back is against the wall in this. It was a fun time. 

Things you can do in this space.

Sit.

-Pass out every night from the most event packed days ever.

-Jump on the mattress expecting a mattress naturally, oh wait no instead you’ve just slammed your body down onto what Etap Hotels like to perceive as a mattress, a slab of steel.

-Watch the only TV channel in Enlgish, which we’re still not sure what that was.

Things you can’t do in that space.

-Everything else. 

Champs Elysees

Outside the Orangerie

Best. Pizza. Ever. Ambien

-Saw Zac Effron. Worshipped.

Real. Life. 

-Went to Dead peoples houses:

• Shakespeare
• Bronte Sisters
• Jane Austen

• Wordsworth
• Keats
• Rudyard Kipling

Hoorah for Rudyard. 

• Beatrix Potter
• John Lennon
• Virginia Woolfe

-Went to Les Miserable.  Almost wept. SO GOOD!

-Started using weep, weeping, wept, in my vocabulary (thank you Andrea)

-Stood in front of Stone Henge and forever put awful screen saver default images to shame.

-BEDES WORLD. Because why would you not want to go there...? Haven't heard of The Venerable Bede? Look him up. 

(Obviously we had a REALLY good time in the museum from the amount of pictures I have in there to the amount from the playground outside...)

Huge pig. 

Birds Nest with Professor Penny Bird. YES!

I am currently shooting by on this amazing zipline at rocket speed...wait no I'm not. Not really known for the impressive equipment here at Bede's World....

-Went to the Lake District. BEAUTIFUL.

Me, Morgan, Mackenzie 

The Moors (near the Bronte Sisters home)

Me and Mackenzie

 If this isn't THE CREEPIEST thing you've ever seen, don't know what is.  Oh did I mention she was mouthing "help me... Let me out... I can't get out!'? yeah.  Also, did I mention I am EMOTIONALLY SCARRED??

-Went to Wales. Did some Wale Watching. 

(Me and Jenna)
Big Pit Coal Mines. Yes they thought about what to name this for a significant amount of time. So cool! Got to go down in the mines with mining gear. Lookin good :)

WALES WORLD
An entire museum on the history of Wales-outside! It actually was really cool, they brought in buildings from all over from different time periods in Wales, all the way back to the Anglo-Saxon times!...but obviously we spent most of our time doing productive things...

Yep. Had to. 

These "leaves" could LITERALLY cut through wood. And I tried to pick one.  Worthless.

thurprise

Grace and Andrew prepping my apple that I later speared with an umbrella.  SO SWEET! Probably the crowned jewel of my athletic career. 

Pig Trough

Stumbled upon a Mini Cooper advertisement...

Cow

MY FUTURE CHILD! The most on point mullet I have ever seen. SO CUTE!

 Hertfordshire! 

Benbow Farm, where Wilford Woodruff baptized an entire congregation of the United Bretheren. Well all but one.  

Our fearless leaders on top of Malvern Beacon.

Representin' the Taz pose everywhere I go.

Gadfield Elm! The first Mormon cathedral. So cool, we had a little service inside.
I had to play the organ that was SO old but don't worry, we practiced on the Center's organ....and by practice I mean played Phantom of the Opera all night long in a quartet...needless to say it went really well.

Gadfield Elm Chapel. Hertfordshire.
