So much to do and so little time.

Well it's about ten thirty at night and I'm now sitting at the centre with dripping wet hair eating a very dry muffin from a shop in the tube station. It looked like chocolate chip before I bought it but now I'm not even sure what it is. Four other girls and I went to complete a "London Walk" in Little Venice but we ended up in a rainstorm. It was pretty, but would have been much more interesting earlier in the day when the boats were up and running. Everything in London seems to shut down around seven or eight at night except for pubs and clubs. I only got a few pictures because my camera died halfway through and I didn't bring extra batteries. So right now I have about a hundred pages to read and a documentation of my London walk to finish for tomorrow. I'm planning on going to Borrough Market tomorrow morning and maybe the Tate Museum so I need to get that done tonight. I will post the write up for my walks here though so that should count for something. Here's a brief recap for now:

Yesterday I spent about half the day in orientation meetings for the program, classes and church assignments and spent the other half touring Westminster (which I will document in the following post). Today I had my first European Studies and English lit classes which should be interesting but far more time consuming than I would like. Although my lit class seems like it might just be a repeat of the survey courses I just completed. But I suppose studying the works in a cultural setting will be a different experience. After the classes the entire group trekked to the London Museum and St. Paul's Cathedral. I would post pictures but I just put them all on facebook so that seems kind of redundant. I will post this one that I didn't take of us at a huge flower shop near the centre.



And that's all for tonight! Although stay tuned for the following post. And I apologize in advance for the formal tone.

  1. Did you mean St Paul's Cathedral not St. Petersburg?

  2. The flowers look like the ones for sale here. Heard that London's climate is very much like ours, so you will feel at home!
