Crowds

There are so many people on the streets! Its crazy!
At the time I am at a cute little place called Pret. They have great sandwiches. But the reason I came here was for soup, their options weren't very appealing though. This place is so crowded like everything else. I sat at a small table for two, and some other lady is sitting here! People here don't care about personal space I guess. Its kind of nice though.

WELL.. I've caught some kind of bug like half of the other people from Ball State. Its just a cold, but I'm not letting it stop me from enjoying my time here!

On Monday we went on a river walk along the Thames. It is beautiful!!! We saw so many things, but the one that caught my attention most was the Tate Contemporary Art Museum. We only stopped for coffee, but that is one place I am going to go another day. I will hopefully be uploading pictures to photobucket soon! When I do, i'll attach the link.

Wednesday we went on our day trip to Warwick Castle and Stratford Upon Avon. Lets just say... it was a looooooooonnnggg day! At Warwick Castle they had some wax figures which were pretty cool. Like the queen! And they had a peacock garden.. with real peacocks!! They were so beautiful! Then at Stratford upon Avon we saw the "birthhouse" of William Shakspear and the house of Anne Hathaway. (which isn't the actress ha.) The last thing we did was see a Romeo & Juliet play. It was a really good production, but we were all very tired from being up since 7 am.

My classes seem pretty cool. We have to do a 20 minute presentation in Brit Literature though :( The history of british pop music seems really neat though.
Robin, Lauren and I have to leave our music class early one week because of Paris and we were so nervous he would be a little angry but he was like, "I'm so jealous!" and he told us about some places we have to go haha.

Tomorrow Robin, Lauren and I head out to Brighton to see Of Montreal! I can't wait! Well.. Robin might have to sell her ticket to someone else because she is really sick. We heard a lot of good things about Brighton though.
But we asked our bus driver what was the best way to get there. He was like.. Brighton, why are you going there, only gays go there. What concert are you seeing? Elton John?
This bus driver guy was a J_E_R_K i thought.

Well, until next time, miss you all!
