Sunday picks a theme: Travel

So I finally remembered it was Sunday without being reminded to blog =D This is a first.

Carissa, I LOVE tevana teas too!  I discovered the store over break and bought some tea they had for sample that was really good and drink it every day now!  I don't remember what it is called.  It is a combination of two different chais.

So nothing much going on here really.  We had one of our best Quidditch practices this past week!  It was freezing but so much fun!  We are finally starting to get to know each other and getting comfortable enough with each other to not be afraid to tackle and stuff.  Our scrimmages are getting really competitive and I think we will actually have a pretty good team if we can find other teams to play against =D

I started rewatching Lost yesterday.  There are six or seven nerdfighters watching it for the first time so I joined with them.  Lost has changed so much from the first season it's nice to rewatch the beginning.  It's also fun to see people's reactions to finding out things for the first time because Lost will answer one question for every 500 it poses!

I guess I was supposed to pick a theme for this week.  I didn't really have time to think about it before posting this so I'm just going to think of something now.  Okay so this is kind of relevant to what I was going to talk about any way so theme for this week is travel.  Talk about a place you want to go, a place you've been and love, anything about travel okay?  Good.  Theme picked.

So I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but I've been thinking about going to London for Spring Break.  My friend Bradley has been begging me to come visit for years but I've never been able to find a good time, plus it is expensive.  He has been begging me a lot lately and I realized I don't really have plans for Spring Break so we are trying to make it happen.  I can find flights for under $700 which isn't bad considering I don't have to pay for hotel or anything because I'd be staying at his house.

I've never been to London but I've always wanted to go!  For as long as I can remember there have always been two places on my top list to travel to.  The first is Israel, the second is London.  And you all know I've been to Israel multiple times now.

I'm a bit of an Anglophile so I'm really excited about possible going to London.  I also found out that one of my nerdfighter friends, Abby (kaireky), will be in London at the same time with her mom and aunt so we could potentially meet IRL in London which would be awesome and then we could go to the Doctor Who store together =D

I really hope my London trip works out because I'd love to see London and take a trip up to Birmingham to visit some friends in uni there and also to see Bradley who is the Brit i was the closest with on my program and the only one not to come visit the US since so it's been almost three years since I've seen him.

Well, I should go now.  I'm going out tonight with my sorority family then having a sleep over at one of my little's dorm rooms because her roomie is out of town.

Until next week,
Arielle
