SKB Day 3!

Today Brian had to work :-/ but Sara, Katie and I did a tour of, well, all of London... We hit up Fleet Street, the Royal Courts of Justice, Parliament, Big Ben, Westminister Abbey. We strolled down the Strand, the Thames Path and through Trafalgar Square. After a variety of strawberry cocktails, the girls headed to the British Museum and I went to class. Afterwards, we met for tea with Maya and Leiley at the Tea & Tattle and met Brian for sangria and tapas at La Tasca. All of this was made better by the sunny, sunny day and warm weather. My peeps brought socal sunshine with them :-)

And tomorrow is my birthday! Brunch at the Breakfast Club, shopping at Liberty, Thai food and clubbing at Studio Valbonne :-)

The SKB Week Begins

OMOGMOOMOGMOMOGMOGMOMG
I can't even talk because I am soooo happy to have Brian, Katie and Sara here. It's funny that the cults of my UCLA life (SAA, Daily Bruin, and O-Staff) have intersected in an epic spring break week and I am loving every moment. SKB arrived yesterday morning, which was amazing after being at the ER for the entirety of Friday (long story, but everyone is fine.) We settled down and then went to the restaurant on top of the Tate Modern for dinner, which has amazing views of the Thames. We walked the South Bank after having delish steaks bathed in butter, sticky toffee pudding and legit cider. Then today we went to Hyde Park for lunch, followed by a visit to the V&A and then we headed to East London to the Lahore Kebab House for a multi-course Indian meal, including samosas, chicken tikka, chicken tikka masala, channa masala, pappadoms, bindhi masala, keema biryana, lamb curry and finished with mango kulfi. And now we are at home nursing our full bellies with Portlandia.
I love my amigos :-)

I come home Sunday, March 27 at 2:50 pm. I don't have a ride home from the airport yet (any takers?) but I am sooooooo excited to be in sunshine and warmth... so let's talk plans - what am i excited for?

1. Seeing my family. Obvs. They are hard to live with, but even harder to live without.

2. Committing to law school - so I can sleep easy for the next three years

3. Coachella!!! Need I say more?

4. Santa Cruz - Verve, Westcliff, Betty's, etc...

5. Thrifting with NJ

6. Coffee in my mom's garden

7. The beach.

8. Driving. I miss driving.

9. Being reunited with... my DSLR... it's been too long.

10. Seeing you. And you know who you are. :-)

Things that will be hard for me:

being a billion miles away from Leiley, making plans with leiley, going out with leiley, drinking tea with leiley, laughing with leiley, singing with leiley, going to the library with leiley.... she made me write all this, but i will miss the little beeze and of course, maya, alina and elisa. obvs.

Cutest thing ever:

Don't judge me but I loved the radio version of this song. A lot. On repeat day in and day out. But this acoustic one is even better.

Yeah.
