Monica in London: Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder....

It has officially been a month since I last wrote on here. Ooops. Sorry people (and by people I mean Devin)... London life just beats blogging. Anyway, here's the updates since I last wrote:
-I went to Paris. I think it may just be my favorite city in the world. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE London, but Paris is just so epic. Maybe it's the architecture, the beautiful people, or the food (hello... CREPES!), but whatever it is, it's just uniquely French and glamorous. Anyway, in Paris we did all the traditional tourist things: Notre Dame, the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Trimuph, etc. as well as the essential shopping on the Champs Elysees (where I got a really pretty perfume).
-I went to Dublin. A little less tourtisty than Paris- just the Book of Kells, Trinity College, and the Guinness Factory. The best way to sum up the weekend would be "Strawberry Beer." The Irish DEFINITELY got that right.
-Sally came to London! I had the best weekend showing Sal and her two roommates around London. Because they had all been before, we did less of the touristy things (Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, etc) and more relaxing and taking in the city. We are celebrating her 21st birthday in Rome this weekend and I CANNOT wait. We're going to try to hang out every two weeks from now on. Next Stop? Prague.
-I went to London Fashion Week. Potentially my childhood dream realized. So many BEAUTIFUL clothes and an all around glamorous affair. I bought two dresses. My bank account hates me.
-I made friends in Parliament. Last night resulted in me, 2 Conservative MPs and member of the Labour cabinet chilling in the central lobby of Parliament. Later, they showed me and a couple classmates around the House of Lords.

So those are the highlights. Other than that I am just doing a little homework, trying not to go broke, continuing my never ending search for Mexican food, and enjoying living in London (especially now that the sun has made an appearance). Miss you all! xx
