remember remember the seventh of november

Today we visited PARLIAMENT and got mug shots!!!!!!!!!

yeah, I don't know why I'm not looking either.

A very important discussion (?) about the "Representation of British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies on Remembrance Sunday" was going on, and our guide told us that later there was going to be a debate on dealing with mental illness in legal situations. We didn't get to listen to either. Don't they know how valuable the listening ear of a bunch of 19-22 yr old American art students could be? no 'pparently not

happy halloween spooky spooky

22

I'm big now, bigger than 21. Now that I'm big I hope I'm a wiser person by the time I'm 23. 

Today we started off at the Imperial War Museum (Mom, I ate almost all the reeses you sent me by 9:30 AM. I ate them on the way to our field trip). I really like learning about the World Wars, but along with the Holocaust exhibit, they made me wish that it wasn't my birthday. Or that humans didn't celebrate birthdays because there are too many bad things have happened to people or are happening now to people for birthday joys to justify themselves. 

Then I came home and saw the best digital birthday card I've ever received, from Nan and a lot of the people I love most in the world, and read through a bunch of love emails from the Daddy and the Mama (and the Amylyn and the Bdot and the Seth and the Courtney and the Cass and the Shelly and the Aunt Brynne and lots of lovely people I'M SORRY IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN MENTIONED I STILL APPRECIATE YOU (Brynnie I loved skyping you today) does anyone even read this blog? jk mom I know you do) and I couldn't stop smiling or crying.

We tried to go see Woman in Black tonight (because a haunted play in London before Halloween sounds like the best thing) but it was sold out, so we went to Contagion, and now I'm afraid of germs. ME. Afraid of germs (Brady will appreciate that, I still don't believe that socks have to match each other so maybe that will cancel out any germ progress) (AND I don't think it'll last, it's already wearing off. Don't get me wrong though, I have good hygiene. I shower every day. Oh except I also have lice, guys. LICE).
Happy birthday again Dad. I love you.

to the very best one

It's his birthday, everyone! And we love each other so much that our cake lit all the way on fire last year. 
Miss you Daddyo, you are my favorite, and I'm the luckiest.

We were assigned to group up and create a collaborative play project that involved art, words, and community. I'm actually jealous of the group who came up with the Buddy idea, but I like some of the notes we got back from this thing. I'm glad we didn't do it at BYU.

this is what it looked like
