A Day in the Life

Monday June 7th:

6:45 AM: Reluctantly roll out of bed, traipse down seven flights of stairs to help set up breakfast

10:30 AM: Wake up after a long and winding coach ride, tour Dover Castle and gaze longingly at the white sandy beaches below

1:45 PM: Explore Canterbury Cathedral, reenact the assassination of Thomas Beckett at the high alter

8:30 PM: Dinner at Japanese noodle bar in Soho

1:00 AM: Finish English midterm and reading, collapse in bed

4:35 AM: Wake up to screaming girls—mouse infestation in dorms 3 and 4, at least seven mice spotted

7:55 AM: Realize I slept through my alarm, missing my kitchen assignment and chance to shower (but enjoyed nearly seven hours of sleep!)

Only seven more days here in London! I just might miss these busy days and sleepless nights.

Keep Calm and Carry On




Only two weeks left here in London and things are starting to get even crazier. I know I mention homework far too often on this blog but I have A LOT. And that's all I will say for now. I think I'll be all too ready for summer when these last few weeks are up.

*Incidentally, this poster was actually produced by the British Ministry of Information at the beginning of WWII but never actually used. It was rediscovered in 2000 and featured in a variety of home decor products. (Thank you, Wikipedia). I'd seen it all over etsy but I never knew it came out of WWII. Unsurprisingly, they are sold at every war/history museum gift shop here. I wish I could find one in blue or green to take home.
