Allyson’s half-sister, Melinda, and her family came to London for the weekend. They live in Harrogate, four hours north of London by train. We met her at the Science Museum, but it took us forever to get there because all of the lines we needed to take to get there were down. I hate all this underground construction, it is such an inconvenience. Melinda and her husband, Devon, are very nice, and their two children, Clara and Jonas, are adorable. We had some fun wandering around the science museum, then we headed to Big Ben. It was a challenge to get there, because all the lines are down, but I left them and headed back to the Centre early. I should have studied while I was at the Centre without Allyson, because I had two huge tests – English and Religion. Instead of studying, I went to Subway for lunch (tried to get someone to go with me, but everyone had already eaten). As I was heading back to the Centre, I ran into Laura, CJ, and Rachel, who invited me to come to H&M with them. All of the jackets and blazers were on sale, but I resisted, even though I really wanted one. Came back to the Centre and pretended to study, but really just looked for any excuse to distract me. I did get some studying in. Allyson still wasn’t back by dinner, so I went to Tuk Tuk Thai Noodle with Laura and Jenny. I love that place! It is cheap and good! They liked it too, which is good, because now I have someone to go there with! After dinner, I studied my butt off. Took the test around 10:45pm. It was pretty freaking hard. There was just so much information to remember. At least it is over. Now I still have to study for Religion, but one test is all I can handle in a day, so calling it a night.
