London Day 13: Procrastination at its Finest

Yesterday morning I woke up bright and early to head to the East End Market for a tour and some shopping. I was grumpy and freezing, which was a bad combination. We were supposed to take the Tube to Liverpool St. and meet outside of McDonald's, so we did. When I got there, Christine was there as well, and we both decided we had too much to do and were too cold to actually go on the tour, so we skipped off early and explored on our own for a bit. It also gets frustrating traveling in large groups because you can't hear what is going on, so I enjoy exploring on my own anyways.

After exploring for a bit, we caught the Tube home, and I "worked on my papers" (aka played on Facebook) for an obscene amount of time, before taking a nap and then actually working on my papers for about two hours. After I finished them, Claire, Christine, Alex, Ramon, and Dave came over and we all hung out for awhile before deciding to watch '10 Things I Hate About You' on YouTube (the whole movie's on there - can you believe it?) Once we finished that, we talked for awhile (although there was a lot of talking during the movie, too) and then decided to watch 'A Very Sunny Christmas' before everyone retired for the night. It was nice just hanging out on the couch with everyone for a relaxing night. That's something that I've been missing from home, so it makes me happy that I feel comfortable enough with these people that I can do nothing with them and we can still all enjoy ourselves. :)

On a side note, I'm getting frustrated with the fact that Southampton Row is closed down due to a water main break, because that means that all the traffic has been detoured down my normally pretty quiet street. (Southampton Row is a HUGE street with a lot of traffic). Therefore, sleeping has been difficult for the past few nights because of all the noise/headlights going on outside my window. Annoying.
