More facts and interesting things I've learned/experienced:

• Like how we say "5 Bucks", here they say "5 Quid" - I looked this up on the internet to see where this comes from (gotta love Google right Jenna?! haha) and it seems like the origin is from "quid pro quo" (which basically means to trade something for something else of equal value)
• I tried a "jacket potatoe" for lunch yesterday - which is basically just a baked potatoe with stuff on it... I had cheese and ham but some people have really weird stuff like beans or tuna on them
• People in wheelchairs must not live in London - there are stairs everywhere! Not to mention all the cobblestones...
• Jez is an abbreviation/nickname for Jeremy

Anyway, yesterday at work I got a phonecall from Louisa inviting me out for a farewell dinner for the LA gang. I left immediately after work to get to Dartford where we went out for all-you-can-eat Chinese food, it was really good but quite expensive. It was nice to see everyone one last time before they had to go home today - hopefully I will be able to visit them again in LA soon and go on the new Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland!! Laura are you interested in another vacation?? ;o) Dinner was lots of fun (except for the one guy who worked there and took a liking to me... he ended up putting flowers in my hair... don't ask) and I actually did remember my camera and took some photos but I will have to post the link later as I am at work right now on my lunch break!

So my new roommate seems really nice despite the language barrier. I still don't remember her name, mostly because names that are hard to pronounce that I've never heard before just go in one ear and out the other for me!! I think it's something like Lula or Luva or Luvla? Who knows. Anyway, she is from Brazil - she just finished her degree over there in something like art direction for movies I think and now she is here to study English and take more movie courses. I believe she is here until December as well so at least I won't go through a million different roommates - so hopefully she is a good one!! So far so good...

Well tonight is the night - the Madonna concert! I'm so excited because I am seeing her on her 48th birthday! And it is her last concert here in London. I haven't decided how much I am going to allow myself to buy yet, it really depends what I like and how much it costs!! I'm thinking I might just get the program and a shirt but we'll see what kind of posters and other stuff they have.... and how long I have to stand in line to buy anything! I hope I get there early enough to pick up my ticket, see the "Square of Fame", buy stuff, and find my seat... haha we'll see how that plan works out! It really depends how long I have to wait to get my ticket I think. I remembered to put my binoculars in my purse this morning and I brought my Madonna shirt to change into after work... I hope I have everything I need and there aren't any problems with the tube!! :o) The Rolling Stones are here on Sunday night as well and a guy at work was selling tickets but sadly I definitely do not have enough money to see them perform here - outrageous prices! So many concerts so little money haha. And sadly again, Kylie Minogue is coming here and I would LOVE to go see her but she isn't here until 2 days after I leave!!!! Plus all the tickets for that concert are only £49! But it is already sold out so oh well.

Well I should get back to work now! Love and miss you all and I'll blog again soon!!!

Later days!
