Went last night :) Was very glad to see it was in an area where you wouldn’t need a ticket!

took nerdy pictures. like ya do….

“give it to me, platform 9 3/4!”

i did it! and i absolutely love it. more expensive than i was thinking, but i’m so happy with it. willing to pay a lot for first tattoo to make sure its clean and beautiful.

It may be the week for a secret adventure. I am in Oxford alone. Everyone’s on spring break. Could be…

was super excited about this whole thing. really not that exciting. we didn’t even get to go on one of the vintage buses. seeing strawberry fields and penny lane was cool, and the houses where they grew up. and “the shelter in the middle of the roundabout.” :) guide wasn’t that fun. eh. it was alright.

favorite weekend in europe thus far!

Wish I could have spent more time there! We were only in Dublin and Bray, but I really loved it.

Will just have to go back…

Getting a sparrow tattoo in about two weeks.
Did some research.
Sparrows always return home.
Sailors would get tattoos, to represent that they would always come back.
And if they died, the sparrow was supposed to carry them home.
Birds represent freedom to me.
This trip is all about freedom and exploration.
Jeffers is going to draw it for me.
Sam and I are going to evolution in Kidlington.
Stoked.

half an hour every day. completed, i’d say.

so i’m in europe and this is a fantastic time. kind of want to get one, just so i can be like “yeah, got this in europe…”

so i was pretty close to completing this one this past weekend. We stayed at a hotel near Liverpool, and had some wine, cider, and pear juice. Three bottles, three of us. Immediately thought of doing this, since the water was so close. Ran out of time, sadly :(

pretty much doing at least a couple every day. i’ll say this is completed if it keeps up the next week or two…

so many photos since i’ve arrived. i love it. so fun to capture these moments in time. especially since im never going to be in europe again.

freaking everything is so expensive here! i’ve become to thrifty since i’ve arrived in oxford. hopefully my spending habits carry over when i come back to the states.

Being in Europe has definitely been a good way to get me taking more pictures. In the past week I’ve taken so many. I love it out here, and everything is just so beautiful.

First London trip yesterday. We drove around in a bus with our class and had a tour guide. Got off at a few places (Westminster Abbey, St Paul’s, and in front of Buckingham Palace). Then were dropped off at the Tower of London where we had like four hours to roam around. We ended up meeting this random guy on his lunch break who’s awesome.

Going back today to find the Banksey exhibit, maybe meet up with that guy, see a show, and go to a club (Ghetto? I think).
