English Tid Bits

I have been doing so much stuff! This weekend was so busy! We hit up a traditional english pub. It was fun to just sit around and chat while ordering drinks. Sex On the Beach is always so satisfying haha! We also went down to the Thames Festival and watched fireworks over the water. It was amazing.

 Monday was a touristy day. Me and my friend Melinda wandered the pure touristy parts of London. We took pictures at Platform 9 3/4 in King's Cross Station, took pictures at Piccadilly Circus (their version of Times Square), walked Covent Garden Market, had tea at Charles Dickens Coffee Shop (where the server LOVED americans and said he thought our accents were beautiful haha), and we shopped at Harrod's and Top Shop. We bought amazing cupcakes at Harrod's. Mine was oreo cookies and cream. YUM! We also mastered the public transportation system. It was a great day.

Then that night, we went to a pub for happy hour. I tried their British drink Pimm's which is good. I also had fuzzy navels and green apple smirnoff vodka with lemonade. DELISH! Haha! After that, we headed to Club TigerTiger. We got to cut the entire line because one of our student assistants worked there, and we were VIP so we got to go into the VIP section. It was a ton of fun. It was two stories, and it played American music including Spice Girls haha!

Today was the first day of classes. I only have two on tuesdays, but I go from 10-4. Kind of a long day when you add in the commute. I have to leave by 9am to get to the center. I already got assigned a ton of reading. Apparently british schools have less graded work and more reading. Odd. Anyway, that's what I have been up to! I got to really missing home today. Love you all!

Goodnight from London!
