Things are all going by so quickly! I suddenly feel like I've been here forever; cosy and at home!
Yesterday after my little nap we all went for dinner together at this Indian type restaurant. Although I don't usually adore spicy food it was pretty good! After dinner the group headed back to the hotel and all crashed into bed. I'm rooming with a lovely girl named Amanda who is from Vancouver. It's a tad strange because we are both very alike in many ways, but it works out cus there is no fighting over music and such!
We both woke up today around 7:30 am and after getting ready headed downstairs for breakfast.
Oh hotel breakfasts, why are you all them same?
It was the usual eggs, sausage, bacon, toast, cereal, danish, juice, coffee, and tea deal. Trust me when I say that I'm not complaining- I'm quite the breakfast fan actually!
Next up? 1st lecture! We walked over to a nice park that would have been a little nicer had it not been raining, but oh well! We wrote our morning notes (little diary journal things we write every morning with a given topic), and then headed for shelter. My history teacher is Nathan, a funny and nice guy who was on the MEI Italy trip I went on last summer. The lecture was so interesting and has got me even more excited for the rest of the trip! After the history lecture we all had a quick english lesson thingy about rants. We must present a rant tomorrow with passion that we care about...and well...I've yet to start. I know what I'm going to rant about though! My topic will be how I cannot stand it when people refer to anyone involved in the arts as emo. Emo topic, I know! :P
Funny thing I wish I got a picture of? Peacocks! Just strolling around the park and distracting us during our lectures!
Note: Oh yeah those pictures.... I promise to upload them tomorrow! You must understand that I'm rathe busy though, but I am working on it... :)
Back to the day! A quick lunch of potato wedges and a salad filled me up after my mini shopping excursion to American Apparel. Yes yes I know but quite frankly I didn't pack enough sweaters and I've been freezing lately. I harnessed this opportunity to grab one of their classic zip up hoodies. I got a nice forest green one and you better love it cus...it cost money.
Hm I should really rap this up! It is 1 am here and I still have to start organizing and practicing my rant! Me and a few others went to look at Buckingham Palace and planned to work on our rants after, but we ended up chilling in the near by park people watching. Most of the people we saw were either asleep or hooking up. Good times?
Dinner tonight was up to us and I found my self having dinner an italian type restaurant. I settled for pasta alfredo but wasn't able to finnish it due to it being a HUGE PORTION. After dinner we all met up and walked over to check out Big Ben, or "Benjamin" as my roommate would say. She's convinced that the two of them are dating and it makes me laugh. Now we are both here in our hotel room and she's just about to head to bed ... something I really should do too.
Hm was that crazy boring and long?! Eek I'm sorry! I promise I'll start writing this earlier when I'm less tired. I'll also work on uploading the many pictures I've taken so far :)
But yes alas I should head off! Tomorrow we're going to the Tower of London and I'll need to power through my rant for it to be not only done, but good. I have confidence that I'll get it prepared enough in time to present at 5 pm!
Okay well I miss you and would love to hear from you!
xox Kate
ps. I would like to have tea tomorrow! Amanda and I also debated the freaky wax museum! I'm stoked!
pps. I'm sorry again about the pictures! Side note I look like such a HUGE tourist when I walk around with my cmaera. It's ace?

oh you got tea and a sweater? how cool!
today in TURKEY we smoked SHEESHA with our instructors during our lesson and tonight we're going to a BELLYDANCING restaurant.
enjoy your crumpets! :)
ahahaha who is this?
When you said "rap this up" I was really hoping the blog would be finished in the style of rap.
But that's alright.
ALSO, green american apparel sweater is a wonderful choice, I really want the green one, but it's okay I'll settle for the yellow or maybe the royal blue.
Soon we'll have a whole woredrobe that is the same.
:)
I liked what you said about breakfast. It's true.
They are familiar pretty much everywhere.
We miss you!
I wish we could trade the way time feels.
It's going by so so slowly here and I'd like it to go faster where as it seems to go so fast for you.
Anyways, hope you're having a good time!
I'll make sure to keep reading.
