I was so happy when I received the phone call that I was invited to Noda.  I am sorry, did I forget to mention what Noda is?! Noda is a huge Orientation Leader conference from schools all over the Northern region. Usually only Orientation Leaders with seniority get chosen to go to this fabulous convention. When I was invited I was shocked, especially being only a regular Orientation Leader. The conference was held in New Hampshire at the Radisson Hotel. I went with the two Orientation Leader adv...

Journal entry thirteen (Tuesday)   Well, there is not much to say about this journal entry, besides the fact that this is the day that we left London. I can honestly say I had the most amazing time of my life in London, meeting the most amazing people, and developing friendships that will last me a life time. The plan ride was nice and relaxing, and Michelle and I could not stop eating the whole plan ride home. Also we matched sweaters! We were so cute! Once we got back to the states it was...

Journal entry twelve (Monday)    On Monday morning, I went to the changing of the guards with the rest of the group. I saw the guards march and scream, which I thought was very amusing.

Journal entry eleven (Sunday)   On Sunday, I was able to sleep in a little, which was good considering I have not been getting much sleep.

After that, I went to the Victorian Albert Museum, which was amazingly beautifu...

Journal entry ten (Saturday)   On Saturday morning, we took a boat out to Greenwich to go to the markets. Once we got to Greenwich, we climbed up a hill to see a museum and the meridian line that divides the eastern and western hemisphere. I took pictures with some of my friends, with one foot on each side of the meridian line. This is the first time I can actually say I have been in two hemispheres at once!After the meridian, we did some walking and looked around at the markets. After the ...
