Hangin with One Direction at Platform 9 and 3/4

Yesterday...

was crazy!

We went everywhere.

I mean that truly and sincerely.

Pretty much just

watch

this video.

"One Thing" by One Direction

Why you may ask?

1. It's One Direction so why not?

2. We went everywhere in this video...

and I find that something to be pumped about.

Yesterday was another free day.

(they're golden)

Best believe we took advantage of it.

Here's just a little snippet of places we went:

- Lots of parks

-Ghandi statue

- Nando's

- The British Library

- St. Pancras Station

- Kings Cross Station

-Platfrom 9 & 3/4...need I say more?

(don't worry i will say more)

- Saint James

- Saint James Park

- Buckingham Palace

- Trafalgar Square

- Big Ben

I get stoked when we have free days.

We only had three hours of class

and then we were

released into the

wild.

We did a "walk" required for our London walks class

that took us straight to the British Library.

Probably my favorite part of the walk

was finding a

hidden

church

along the way.

You sneeeaky church.

The British Library was

preeeeeety incredible.

We had a list of things we had to see while there.

Just to name a few...

- The King's Bookshelf

(Beauty and the Beast status)

- The Magna Carta

- Original Beatles lyrics

(written on birthday cards and envelopes)

-Handel's Messiah

- Jane Austen's notebook

- Beethoven's sonata

- Gutenburg Bible

You could say I was kinda blown away by it all.

"I digested a gust of wind today..."

(Anybody, anybody?)

This is Madeleine, me, Kate, MaCall and Kennedy

outside of the British Library

doing an ad for AT&T.

Just joshing :)We're actually in front of this really cool statue.

It was supposed to be in the picture.

But the nice Brit that I asked to take it...

well,

he decided to cut that part out.

Next it was off to St Pancras Station.

This place is mind bottling.

Just check it out!

Here's Kate and I in front of it all.

Drum roll.

I mean this in all seriousness.

.....

I'm still comprehending what went down yesterday.

I'm coming Harry!

Platform 9 & 3/4 my friends :)

My roommate and best bud Cami...

well she loves Harry and the whole gang.

like, a lot.

So I couldn't help but think of her while I was there.

Cami-I miss you dearly. Hagrid says hello.

May I also just mention that Kings Cross Station is

ginormous.

My camera died right after this glorious momento

so I have no pictures to add now

from the amazing Saint James Park

and Buckingham Palace.

There were a couple moments where we all just sat there,

staring,

in silence.

I've decided that the Queen probably listens to One Direction...

at least I hope so.

So "yesterday...all my troubles seemed so far away..."

and they're hanging out in far far away town
with Shrek and Fiona

cuz I'm in London town.

(I sure hope you recognized those Beatles lyrics)

Today...

Shopping time!

We made a nice little visit to Primark.

Then tonight...

duhhhh...duh duhm duhm duhm duhmmmmm.

Phantom of the Opera!

Tomorrow...
it's off to Paris
for 3 whole days.
