London Days 21-24: Time Flies When You're in London...

So it's Thursday already. Time flies by here, and it's crazy. I've also realized in the past few days that I am finally in my groove here. I know my way around, I understand the currency, I understand most of the customs, and my classes are all underway. My flat is beginning to feel like home, my friends are starting to feel like my family, and London is starting to not feel so scary after all.

I've also come to the revelation that at this point, writing about my daily doings isn't exactly the most exciting thing in the world. I do pretty much the same thing day after day, so I think I am only going to post about exciting adventures or random thoughts that I may have.

A quick recap of life over the past 4 days:
Monday I did nothing but work and procrastination all day. More of the latter, though.

Tuesday Christine and I went to the Tate Modern museum so she could do a project. We went in this really cool sculpture thing that I can't do justice by explaining, but I think it changed my life a little. Afterwards, we tried to catch the sunset over the Thames, but it was difficult to see from our location. Then we decided it would be nice to make ourselves dinner. We bought salmon steaks, corn, and rice and came back to my flat to cook it. We put sweet chili sauce on the salmon before we baked it because we couldn't find teriyaki sauce, and it was delicious. Yum.

Wednesday I had class all day, and then did some work before heading over to Ramon and Alex's to hang out. We just hung out until the 'Cuse game (vs. UConn) and only Alex and I were dedicated enough to stay up until the end. 'Cuse won, but only after scaring the crap out of me. And then when I returned home, I got the crap scared out of me by a mouse that was living under our couch. Katie and I have named him Morton. I don't mind having him around, I just hope he doesn't scare me again. I sat on the counter for a long time while he played peek-a-boo with me behind the couch and I worked the guts up to go get my purse haha.

Thursday I have done nothing but eat, sleep, work, and go to class. However, I think we're going out in a little bit, so that should be nice. I'm such a bum.


On a side note, I'm going to Leeds Castle and Canterbury (like the Canterbury tales) tomorrow. Hooray!
