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.

My Girl Likes to Party All the Time & THEN SOME.

So I decided to dedicate this last week to going out. It's gonna be a boggled down week full of homework and being on task and such, so I thought I'd get all that fun out of the way now.

Monday: The Roxy in Oxford Circus
[I love the Roxy and the Roxy loves me. Great music, great people, and the bouncers are my bff's.

Tuesday: 1001 Club on Brick Lane
[Heard some bad punk bands, but it was entertaining.]

Wednesday: Moonlight in Leicester Square
[More drinks, More fun!]

Thursday: Camden: all over
[Original plan: me and the boys go to The Flower Pot for a show, but the bouncer sent one of the boys off... so we bought some beers and walked around, found a few places, ended up at The Jazz Cafe and took a long bus ride home]

Friday: The Peacock in Wandsworth & The Roxy
[Not the best night. Went to the peacock in which the music was constantly interrupted by an older guy singing and talking, had to chirp out. Then to the Roxy, kinda packed, but great music. Then some creeper would not leave us alone, had to yell at him. Then on the walk home was attacked by some drunk guy trying to slap my butt. That mixed with people complaining about the bus stop, food, and their boyfriend, I was done for the night. It had won.]

Saturday: Ministry of Sound in Newington
[Made lots of friends in the Line. Guy from Germany, Guy from Russia, A guy from France and his British Girl, and a guy named SAM!! It was a great night.]


Sunday: Residence Hall
Had to catch up on homework and sleep.

Overall: GREAT WEEKEND!!!!!
