So my official reason for going to London the last week of November was for school stuff. I had to meet with my professor, go to a workshop and attend a presentation.

Here is my school, University College London. It's so funny...this has been there since 1828-ish, but I still felt a 'happy surprise' when I saw the dome.






This is me cutting Kevin Onabiyi's hair. I knew him from my Britannia ward days and he was very kind and let me stay with him - you can see my suitcase on the right.

I was worried because I had never done this before - 'White Handbook' rules say to never give your companion a haircut. I pointed this out to Kevin and he said to go ahead. I guess it was a success - he didn't cry ;) (Why do I always look so violent? Seriously, I look like I'm from 'Sweeney Todd' and Kevin is my next victim.)




It was good to see everybody. I met up with my old roommate, Arianna, and enjoyed getting caught up. Here is a picture of some of us reveling with Maria at her birthday party. It was really good to see everyone....







Just in case some of you were worried, the Thames (probably my fave) is still there. Here you can see the dome of St. Paul's off in the distance...

I was standing on London Bridge when I took this picture - don't worry, it's not falling anymore... ;)





And then to the right we find Tower Bridge. I love Tower Bridge at night! Truly beautiful!
