Monday: Michelle, Shannon, Jacque, and I went over to Buckingham Palace to try and see the changing of the guards ceremony. We soon realized that despite the fact that it occurs every other day, you need to arrive about 2 hours early in order to get a good viewing spot! We saw the band march up but nothing else. Since we have plenty times to try and watch again, we left to go get lunch. Michelle, Shannon, and I went over to China Town and found a really delicious Chinese restaurant that was still reasonably priced. We had fun trying to use the chopsticks. Later that night, Margaret and I decided to go see the movie Friends With Benefits since the majority of the other students were at a play for the Shakespeare class. In an effort to go to the cheapest place, we ended up way on the East side, at a theater with five screens, but we had to have been in the smallest...the screen was about one-fourth the size of a regular movie theater screen!! The room was also very small and kind of old and dirty. We then knew why it was so cheap! It was fun nonetheless, and we laughed about it all night.
Tuesday: Sarah, Margaret, and I went over to the other Primark that isn't as crazy as the one we went to on Oxford Street. We spent the afternoon shopping around the area. That night a small group of us girls went out for a girls' night, which was so much fun!
Today: I finally heard about my internship this morning! I go on Monday to the Bayswater Families Centre to meet my coworkers and figure out my schedule. This afternoon, I went up there to make sure I knew how to get there and to explore the area. I am so relieved to finally know for sure that I have an internship placement!
Tomorrow: I have my three classes: British Experience Seminar, Contemporary British Society, and Religions of London. It will be a full day!
The weather today was so beautiful!! Sunny and mid-60's. Tomorrow looks even better! I may go read in the park tomorrow after the religion class :)
Cheers!
