WHERE DID THE TIME GO!?

Apparently I'm leaving Leeds in two weeks.  And apparently I'm going to be twenty one in two weeks.  So much weird for one weekend.  The next couple of weeks are going to be filled with lots of fun although I still have an exam to write on the 25th of May so no fun until then.  On the 26th of May I'm going to Edinburgh for five nights.  I'm way too excited about all the Harry Potter type things that I'm going to see there.  It'll be awesome preparation for the final movie.  Once I get home from Scotland, I'll have three days to pack up all of my stuff and get ready to leave.  On June 3rd, the University has this event called the Summer Ball which is kind of an amalgamation of a carnival, a music festival and prom.  I've decided that I'm going to pretend that this is my birthday party as it starts at 6 pm on June 3rd and ends at 6 am on June 4th.  June 4th is my birthday and last day in Leeds and then I leave on the 5th to begin my seven week summer travel adventure! (more on that later.)

The Royal Wedding: [noun]- Prince William & Catherine Middleton, Friday 29 April 2011 at Westminster Abbey

Last week me and my friends Andy, Hannah and Annie were some of the crazy people sitting outside of Buckingham Palace from six in the morning to get a glimpse of the Royal Family members.  The five a.m. wake up was entirely worth it! I saw the Queen, Camilla, the back of Kate Middleton's head and William.  The atmosphere was amazing, it was like being at a sporting event but better because there was this amazing guy in drag, he was all dressed up and wearing a tiara.  When reporters (he got interviewed a lot) asked her what his name was, she would say Audrey Hepburn. Also, him and her friends were seriously prepared, they had a whole picnic table at their disposal and it conveniently folded up into a briefcase once they were done with it.  However, even though we ourselves were entirely unprepared seating wise, people who had camped out the night before had just abandoned their tent so we sat on that instead of the grass which was pretty convenient.  For those of you who have been to Buckingham Palace, we were sitting right outside the Australian Gate. If your standing right in front of the Queen Victoria memorial, looking at Buckingham Palace, we were just to the left.  Seeing the balcony kiss was not quite as successful due to the fact that it was absolute insanity but I did have a nice view of Kate's parents (no offense Kate's parents, but definitely the least exciting people to see).

Trying not to go crazy while waiting.

 Pretty hats

 Okay so this picture is massive because they only way to see Will (and kind of Kate) is for the image to be huge.  They are in the carriage (duh) in the bottom right corner and they are kind of blurry.  Pretty cool, right?

 I have no good pictures of the kiss, only pictures of the gate in front of Buckingham, so instead here's a picture of the insane crowd (look at how disgruntled they all look hahaha) and..

 A picture of my feet.  Not quite as popular as Will and Kate but they usually get me from point a to point b so I like 'em. 

The rest of the weekend was also a lot of fun.  Andy left us on Friday to continue her travels else where but Annie, Hannah and I went to see Legally Blond: The Musical on Saturday night which was AMAZING.  I highly suggest you watch the below video. 

The rest of the weekend we went to a variety of markets: Notting Hill's Portobello Street Market, Camden Market, and Brick Lane.  So the only reason I think it's okay for me to do this is because I usually talk about how crazy I am on here so I think this once I can make myself look a little bit cool.  When we were walking near Brick Lane a girl asked to take a picture of the three of us for her fashion blog and it's a really cute post so you should probably go here.

The next couple of weeks are going to be filled with studying for exams and writing essays so unfortunately I will have nothing of interest to post for a while but once I'm done exams I'm going to Edinburgh so I shall write a post at the end of May!

Marbella: [noun]- a town in Andalusia, Spain. It is situated on the Mediterranean Sea, in the province of Málaga, beneath the La Concha mountain.

This post is going to be short and sweet because I've just had an exhausting weekend seeing Prince William and Kate Middleton get married.  It was really no big deal, I go to capital double-u Weddings all the time.  Tomorrow I will write all about it but for now, Spain.

Friday, April 8th me and my lovely parents got on what we now refer to as the Wild West flight to Malaga from London.  We had a wonderful time, spending a few days one the beach, on day in a mountain town called Ronda and one day trip to Morocco.  It was very relaxing and it was awesome to swim in salty sea water with big waves.
