Titanic, Chelsea, and the Eye

I booked Spring Break!!! We are first going to Athens and spending time there, then we are going to spend some time on the Greek Isles and then fly to Rome for a few days and then finish our trip in Venice.  I am so excited, although the trip will be extremely busy.  I think there are about 8 of us going.  Planning it was really stressful, but now that its planned, I can't wait. 

Love London was this weekend. Its a long weekend where the SU faculty plan tons of events all over London for the students to participate in.  On Friday we went to a Titanic exhibit at the O2.  The O2 is this huge arena, where some of the 2012 olympics are going to be held.  The exhibit was really cool and had all these artifacts from the ship.  There were stories of passengers that were really sad.  When you enter they hand you a boarding pass of a real passenger that was on the ship then at the end you see if you survived or not.  I was an Irish woman who although 3rd class, did survive.  It was neat. 

Then yesterday I went on a tour of Chelsea stadium.  It was pretty neat.  I would love to go to a game, but tickets are hard to get and really expensive. I don't know much about English football but maybe I will pick Chelsea as my team to root for.  We are going to tour Arsenal in a couple of weeks so I guess then I will decide.

Then in the afternoon we went to the London Eye.  It is like a giant ferris wheel that takes 30 min and you get to see a lot of the city. It was a great experience, especially since our pod was all SU students.  After it we got to see this 4D show which was also pretty cool. 

Going to a bar tonight to watch the Superbowl. Go Packers!
