Buckingham Palace, etc

Hello! So i've been slacking recently with the postings. There have been a lot of juicy things happening, but this blog isn't private so i'll definitely have to write those down somewhere else and talk about them at a later date.
On Tuesday I'm meeting up with friends to discuss where we want to travel. Amsterdam is a must on this list. We're going to start booking flights soon. Also Kristy, Rachel, and I have decided to go see a play this week. I think our first one will be Jersey Boys. I really want to see Les Miserables. REALLY!
Last night I went on the London Eye! It was pretty nice, but expensive. They really know people will pay the damn 17 pounds it costs to go around that thing once. But it was a once in a lifetime thing, so it's okay. There were people selling hot dogs and chili really close by. It smelled great. I've been trying to not spend so much money on food. You can get really caught up on that and spend a good 40 pounds just on food for the weekend! I think i've spend about 15 pounds for the whole weekend. I am cheap. Oh well. I can't wait for the food to start back up tomorrow! A lot of people around here hate it, but I love it! And they have something here very close to mast o' khear (yogurt and cucumber). It's freaking great. I can't wait. mmm. I gotta take a picture of my food next time. Hopefully I remember.
Kristy and I found this great place that sells hot chocolate for 1.20 and it's so yummy! I can see myself drinking a cup every night. haha. This could get dangerous. I hope i'm losing weight here. I hardly eat here compared to what I ate at home so I should lose SOMETHING! Maybe...
So we went to Buckingham palace today to watch the changing of the guards. It was alright. One of those things you just do for your check list. There were just so many people that I don't think I got the full experience of it. But the palace was HUGE and amazing.
I still don't feel like I know my way around. I could figure out how to get home from a couple blocks away, MAYBE. The buses are just so complicated. More complicated than the tube, which is still slightly complicating for me. Mostly probably because I just throw my head down and follow my friends whenever we go on the tube. Bad idea. Haha.
I'm pretty content with my classes thus far. It's only been a week but I don't think they'll be too difficult. I still need to order more books on amazon. It's a pretty easy process but i'm still waiting for some of my books that i've already ordered.
Some of my friends said they found a cheap kabob place for only 4 pounds. I want to check that out. I need cheap food places. I want to make a list of the things I should try from here and try to eat all of those things. I don't want anything I could get back at home. Soups are very popular here. The bowls are pretty decent sized. The other day we went to a restaurant and a couple girls got tomato soup. It was sooo yummy. It came with a couple slices of bread and butter. It was great. I've noticed that the portions here are SO much smaller than in the U.S. We went to a Thai restaurant tonight and the pad thai was so much smaller than if I had ordered it back home. Also back home it usually comes with a spring roll and some soup. Here it was 7 pounds for just the pad thai. Granted, it was still delicious but it's very interesting to see the portion differences. Fat times for the U.S.
Anyway, I think i'm going to watch some Pineapple Express before bed.
Good night and thanks for reading!
