The 'Final' London Post

Always behind on these things.... But HERE it is... the LONGEST POST EVER!!! catching you up on the final month of my semester in London.

[Week 1: Nov 15th-21st]
Monday: Censored! I love my instructor for that class, she's so nice.

Tuesday: Hunterian Museum. Let me just say. I LOVE this museum. It's full of this anatomist from the 1800's pickled animals and findings. They even have a surgeon area where they show you surgeries, one was of a heart transplant... crazy.

Wednesday: Nothing, nothing at all. Just homework.
Thursday the 18th:- Went to the BFI imax theatre to see Legend of the Guardians. Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I actually really enjoyed it. Then, last minute went out with some friends to hang out near the Thames (Waterloo again) had some great conversation... then head to Th Roxy. Where I got in FOR FREE.... dope. That was a fun night.
Friday -Tried to do my paper, but was too tired from the previous night to do it. Epic Failure on my part.

Saturday: Finished my paper (pat on the back.)

Sunday: It was Sunday. I did nothing. That is all.

[Week 2]
Monday :: Wednesday was boring and filled with classes, etc...

Thursday: Thanksgiving!
I finished editing my film for class, attacked Ra-Ra (Floormates and myself) with light sabers, slept made great dinner with pie, and slept some more.

Friday: Decided to go out. Played some card games and then went to a house party in Notting Hill. An Actual HOUSE in Notting Hill. The house was out of a movie. AMAZING.

Saturday: Missed breakfast with a friend and her parents. I'm a bad, bad girl. Then headed to regent street with the roomie. Went into a crazy toy store and bought a cute orange jumper. It was fun.

[Week 3]

-GRAN CANARIA-

Myself, the roomie, and my floormate went to the Canary Islands the first weekend of December. It was THE GREATEST!
First we had to take a train to Liverpool, because that's where we were flying out of. Liverpool is okay, reminds me of Pittsburg, it's a city, but it's gotta ghost town feel to it. So we left Thursday night and stayed in the the airport... watched Love Actually and then slept on the cold floor. Then it was on the plane and off to the Islands.
We were laying on the beach while we drank cervecas and had delicious sea side food. It was amazing. I LOVE gelatto, especially Mango flavored gelatto. Well, can you REALLY go wrong with mango? Uh... NO, duh. Got some relaxation in and overall was well worth it.

[Week 4 & 5]
After this I basically lots of homework. Also caught a cold. It was inevitable, my roommate has been sick for a while, so I knew it was coming. I also went to some more films, and attended some student events at ULU... But the last week was the BEST!

Saturday: Went to the Chocolate Festival and a holiday festival in Waterloo with Ra-Ra and one of the guys from the program. After that Ra-Ra and myself went on our Brixton Extravaganza. Bought some mesh tops, chickpea roti and then went to the Hootananny to check it out. Nice place, pretty cool.

Monday: Went to see a film called The Tourist for Film workshop, that was okay. Could of been better. Then relaxed for a spell and went to The Roxy, as usual.

Tuesday: Finals and hanging out with the boys

Wednesday: Film presentation and then Walkabout. Walkabout, which was a lot more fun than I thought it would be.

Thursday: Finals. Then went to a pub to celebrate us all being done with school. Went back to the res hall, took a nap. Woke up. Ate. Talked to Ra-Ra for WAY TOO LONG. The we finally got ready and went to THE ROXY (of course). Now this was the FUNNIEST, MOST RIDICULOUS EPiCLY AWESOME night EVER!!! It was Epic. Love it.

Friday: I wake up later than I was suppose to and had to run to the tube. There was a presentation of the theatre kids' play. It was really well written. Then it was off to our final lunch together and then off to packing.

It's Been Real London. Until next time.... Keep It Real.

Mongrels, Queues, and Brixton Foo!

Hello all, how was your week? That's great, sounds like fun. Oh what did I do? Not much. Well let's see here...

Monday
[Went to class. I was afraid my bus pass ran out, but it didn't and I was able to make it to class. Thank GOD! Then I had class, we talked about this film called Crash(1996), not the greatest film, actually really weird. ]

Tuesday
[For class, we went to the Guildhall museum, which is gonna be awesome for my paper I do. And me & the roomie watched Mongrels. Too FUNNY!!! ]

Wednesday
[I did homework, then at night had curry dinner with my seminar group. We were in the queue for 2 hours before we were seated. Didn't have reservations. Once we did sit, we had great food and some Mango Lasi's which I AM IN LOVE WITH! Headed home and went out with the girls to Walkabout in Waterloo. So much fun.]

Thursday
[Class. Class. Nap. Hung out with the boys. Slept.]

Adventure Break - Google

So I really wanna work for google, I hope that one day I can, just for a while.

No more partying before 10am class

Hello all.
How has everyone been since the last time we've talked? Well I've been just dandy. Classes started on Monday. So far so good in that department, except today was a struggle to stay awake. We all went out to Pyke pub and then Tiger Tiger club near Leicester Square. It was mad crazy, I even got to practice my British accent and someone practiced their deep south accent with me. We were both pretty terrible, but I think mine was less terrible. We sat at the pub for a bit, had a cider and some pimms and then it was finally off to Tiger Tiger. Our student assistant got us in VIP, so cold! One thing that really made my night was getting free drinks (on accident). I was getting drinks for me & the girls. I gave the bartender my card and the girls took their drinks and I started on mine while I waited for him to get back. He comes back and says the card isn't working. So I gave him my half drank drink and headed to the atm. Money was not coming out and I couldn't find the bartender or the girls, so I just went on the rest of the night. No troubles, well I hope not. Fingers Crossed. Next time we go I will be sure to have money ready. But after that more dancing, photo op and then it was off to find the night bus home, which took a half an hour I might add and it was only 5 minutes away. But we finally arrived at 2:30 in the morning. Which sucked because I had 10am class and I commute, but totally worth it. I would not do it again though.


SN: I seen someone with a red beret on today. (for Kevin)
