the centre.



this is where i have been living the past 3 1/2 months.
this place has become home and even though the food, the stairs, the sharing a shower with 20 girls, the bad internet service, and having no space in a room with 12 girls can sometimes be hard.... i will miss it here SO much.

{thanks to mike for some of these pictures}




[sharing a fridge with 40 people doesn't really work. could never find anything in there]

[we were originally only supposed to get a small box for food, but once we realized that the food wasn't too good... we all started taking over cupboards.. the 2nd one up with the cereal is mine & kinsey's shelf haha]

[where we spent countless hours... our library. aka- hangout spot. aka- only place to get internet in the house]

[just the beginning of the stairs]

[NATALIA]

[30+ girls shared these]

[the famous stairs from our bedroom to the bathroom-- that mostly everyone fell down at some point or another]

[my half of the room where the seven of us slept]

[by the end of the semester... this is what my small closet looked like haha so messy]

[mine & bev's bed. i swear it wasn't this messy the whole time. we just had to take a picture of it this day because it was out of control haha]


[ashley's bed. ash was originally in dorm 3 (one floor down from us) but after the boy's showers leaked through the wall by her bed and ruined her laptop haha, she moved her matress up for a night to have a break. and we never wanted to move it back down because we loved her up there too much. she completed room 4! and she officially was in our room longer than she was in room 3. we're just happy that she put up with us and didn't mind sleeping on the floor haha]

[the view from our bedroom window]



27 palace court.

AHHHH! The pictures I have been WAITING for. Seriously, I can now imagine it so so so much better. And I wanna visit there someday. It all looks so fun and I know you miss it so much- which means you had the time of your life. So many memories and so many friends...all that you'll keep for a lifetime. Love it all. Love you.

Oh, Annie, these last two blogs are wonderful, and they make us homesick for the Baby Gells and all the other winter semester students! Thank you for recording such a lovely memory---and for posting such terrific photos to go along with the text. I hope you won't mind if we come back to this blog from time to time to reminisce about winter 2011 in London.

Thank you for being part of such a wonderful experience.
