This weekend Sonya came to visit me all the way from York!! I was so excited because I have not seen anyone from home yet and it made me feel a lot better about being 3,000 miles away. :) So, to get her I had to go into London all by myself and navigate the Underground, it was not hard in the least because I have navigated it a million times before. But, I went to get her at King’s Cross and then we went to do some touristy stuff because this was her first time in London! :D We went to see Parliament and Big Ben and then went to see Westminster Abbey. That was all the tourist we did that day because she had her bags and kinda wanted to go back to my flat, so we did. :) When we got back to my flat we ordered some Indian food for dinner (it was amazing!) and I had my friends come over to meet Sonya. They all really liked her and she seemed to like them as well! Later that night we went to Crosslands (a pub in the school) and just had a chill night. After Crosslands we came back, I talked to Jake for like 15 minutes and then we went to bed. 
The next morning Brooke, Sara, and Mike came over to book our tickets for the hostel in Dublin. :D Brooke, Avery, Mike, Sara, Sonya, and I are all going to Dublin from the 27th of March until the 30th and it is going to be so awesome blossom! So, we booked our hostel and then went to go to London for the day for some shopping and roller derby. Mike went with Sonya, Sara and I because he was going to meet one of his friends in London while we were at the derby. First we went to Camden Town and it was AMAZING it was honestly my favorite place I have been since being abroad. It had everything that I loved and I would not mind just going to Camden and not going anywhere else in London because it was so cool! I totally plan to go back and spend a whole day there with Mel because she loved it as much as me. :) My cousin told me to go there because I would love it, but I never knew how much I would adore it! When I walked out of the station I immediately though “this is my home.” Hahaha! But we wandered around Camden for a good three hours. I got some nose rings and I wanted to go back into the comic book store to get some more stuff but totally blanked it. During this whole time Sara and Sonya became really good friends and I am so happy! :D It is always nice to meet someone with the same interests as you!  |

After Camden we went to the roller derby and this is where we departed from Mike, which is always sad…, it is like saying goodbye to my brother. :/ But I knew he was going to have a fun time with his friend in London! So, off to the derby! We got there about 15 minutes early so we sad on the floor right next to the track and got all our stuff settled in. I went to call Jake and tell him that I was at the derby and we had a good lovey conversation and I was back to the derby! This was also my first time at a derby and it was so cool! I love it and I want to go to a lot more! The first bout was the Ultraviolent Femmes vs. the Suffra Jets, I liked the Ultraviolent Femmes but they lost…during the time between bouts Sonya and I went over to the merch table and bought some stuffsss. I got an Ultraviolent Femmes shirt and Sonya got a Suffra Jets shirt; we both got them based on the colors because we didn’t really know too much about the teams at that point. The second bout was the Harbour Grudges vs. the Steam Rollers, and once again I liked the losing team. :P The whole day was a total success because I got to spend it with good friends and experience some of my happiest times since being abroad! :P
This is Mike sleeping on Sonya on the ride home...he was so sleepy! :)
