After breakfast we decided not to change hostels like we originally planned because the manager said he would be able to find us a bed at his place. We checked out Westminster Abbey (from the outside only) and had lunch in a park near Buckingham palace. The three of us then went to a musical called Spamalot. It was crazy how steep it was and considering we bought the cheapest tickets we could find we were very high up. During the intermission I moved down to the stage level and was able to get a seat in the 6th row. This made the musical even better getting to see all of the performers up close and really be able to appreciate their voices and talent. After the musical we made our way back to the hostel for a BBQ they were hosting. This evening we decided to go to a coffee shop and I found an internet café nearby and finally SUBMITTED MY INITIAL MEDICAL SCHOOL APPLICATION!! It was such a weight lifted off my shoulders to have finally submitted it (although the apparent weight loss could have been from the $610.00 it cost, haha). We returned to the hostel to find out there was only one bed available. Hiliary and Krista ended up sharing a bed and I had the pleasure of “sleeping” on the floor in the lounge.
