Bon Voyage: Hillsong

Another weekend down! Yesterday, I recovered from BOP by making a red velvet cake with a friend. Let me tell you, it was such a solid decision. After that, we met up with another friend in Putney to go to The Railway, an awesome pub. We got some dinner and hung out there for a bit, then got the bus back to campus. Actually, we waited 30 minutes in the rain for a bus, then were laughing and talking so much that we missed our stop, and then had to backtrack (in the rain) to campus, but never the less, made it back!

I FINALLY got the college gameday pass so I could watch the Wolfpack put a beating on the Tar Heels last night! I stayed up until 3AM watching the game, and I'm sure my neighbors thought I was crazy with how loud I was yelling! But it was an awesome game, and I'm so happy I got to see it rather than read about it the next day.

Today, we decided to go to a church called Hillsong (started in Australia, now they are all over the world, 3 being in London) for the 6 pm service. We went into central at 2 to look around and possibly go to some markets, unfortunately, they were all closed! So we walked around some cute piazzas near the London Bridge and got some lunch before church. Hillsong was in central located at the Dominion Theatre, which is actually the same theatre that Rock of Ages is performed in (I know, two completely different things in one place!) Being raised a Catholic (obviously very structured mass) it was so incredible to see a new environment for a church service. It was very crowded, and felt like a concert environment. The music was amazing and I think we are going to go back when the record their album at a service in a few weeks! I am planning on going to a Catholic mass in the church beside Westminster Abbey soon, so I'll let you know how that goes :)

Miss everyone!!
