I go to Paris in 2 days!!!

Hey all,
Sorry it has been awhile since I have updated!
As you all know, I went to the Justin Bieber concert last Wednesday in London, and it was amazing!!  I know you all thought I was being silly going to his concert but he is seriously talented!  He played the guitar, drums, piano, danced, and sang!  He was crazy good and just made me fall in love with him more.  Definitely worth the money and I got a sweet t-shirt to go with it.  Yes, I have Bieber Fever...  London was fun to walk around in and the O2 arena was amazing!  I missed Brighton, though.  As many of you know, I am not a big city person and London is huge.  I just love that Brighton is by the sea and town is pretty easy to figure out.  I know I picked the right place to study abroad to!!
Thursday was St. Pats day and we went all out!  Chelsea didn't feel good and had a paper to write so she stayed in while Lindsay and I dressed up in our green get up.  We had white v-necks with lime green suspenders, black shorts with tights and bright green leg warmers.  We also had green stunna shades (the glasses with the lines down the middle like Kanye West wears) that we painted green glitter nail polish around the outside of the rims.  Pictures are on facebook!  We were the most dressed up compared to our British friends, but we didn't care- it was so much fun!
Today and yesterday have been the nicest days since I got here!  The weather has been sunny at it has almost gotten up to 60 degrees each day!  I know you all are thinking, well it is 80 degrees in St. Louis, but 60 is really warm for Brighton, especially in March!  Yesterday, we sat out on a hill on our campus and drank a 'posh' British drink called Pimms.  It was sooo good!!  Pimms is a type of liquor and you add lemonade (Sprite) and tons of fruit!  It is to die for and I hope we have it in the U.S. so I can recreate it this summer!  Our British friends told us it is a drink they drink in the summer and since it was so warm yesterday, they thought it would be perfect- which it was!
I am so excited to go to Paris- I can hardly wait!!  We leave Friday morning at 6:30 to drive on a bus to the chunnel and on over to Paris!  We get back Sunday night around 8 or 9 pm.  I have been looking through a traveling book, Paris' 25 best, given to me by Aunt Linda and Uncle Bill- who also sent me to Paris- thanks so much, you guys are the best!! :)  I have found some awesome things that I already want to do!  We haven't gotten the schedule from our advisors taking us on the trip as to what we will be doing, and we wont until the day of, so we aren't sure how much free time we will have to do whatever, but we definitely know we will be going shopping and making sure we see all of the main tourist attractions and hopefully more!!  We are seeing how much it would be to eat dinner at the Moulin Rouge one night with a bunch of us, so I will let you know if that works out or not!
Well I have been slacking a little on school work lately, and I want to get some stuff done before spring break- which is in one week- so I am going to go read.  Sorry this was so long!  I will update again after we get back from Paris!!
Ciao!
