Time decided to fly away from me this semester. I cannot believe I have a week left until I leave. It is sad, but I am looking forward to experiencing the life in Greece and Turkey. This past weekend I stayed in London and had an enjoyable time of writing five papers and just hanging out in the city. We went to an amazing Indian restaurant on Thursday and I have decided I must find one in Marysville, because I love it so much. If I haven't mentioned this already, in South Ken we have the best cookie shop, Ben's Cookies. I have never had a better cookie in my life. I mean nothing can beat my mother's chocolate chip cookies, but they have like 20 kinds including triple chocolate with chunks of white and dark chocolate melted inside. So yummy.
Aside from eating, I did do other things this weekend. On Friday, I went to London Fashion Weekend. To our advantage it was about a block away in front of the Natural History Museum. It was INSANE. I have never seen so many designers, clothes, bags, shoes, jewelry, and models in one place. All the clothes are extremely new, nice, should be pricey, but discounted so I had to pick up a few things. We also got this really intense tote bag filled with random samples. All in all, my head was a little overwhelmed, but it was fun.
Another highlight of my weekend was Sunday. As I am sure you read, I attend Hillsong church which is a branch off of the Sydney Hillsong. This past Sunday was vision and album recording day. So we not only had the whole service professionally recorded, but we had to get there almost an hour early, just to get in. This church is huge and there are three services! There was a lot of energy and it was an intense feeling of worship and love for God all over. It was also fun to hear about the vision of the church from the overall head pastor in Sydney, Brian Houston. This church has been a huge blessing for me and encouraged me to grow spiritually while I am over here. I feel very fortunate to go every week and really sad to leave it.
Well, I must get back to work, since next week is finals! I hope you all are having a great week. Cheers!

Hey can I get some of those cookies?!
Miss you, good luck with the move and finals!
What an amazing time this must be. Thank you so much for sharing with us all. Sounds like too much fun for this to be considered school. Apart from the papers and finals, that is.
Hillsong must be amazing. I am envious.
Good luck with finals!I hope you weathered the earthquake okay.
Best of luck with finals!
Hey Becky
I just read through all your blogs from your trip so far and wanted to know that you sound like you are having the best experience. I am so glad you have had the opportunity to experience all of the wonder. I understand from Grandma that Mom Dad and sibling are on their way. I hope you have a fabulous time with them. Can't wait to see pictures when you get back. Take care and have a safe trip home.
Linda
