So, yesterday I had my advising appointment to figure out my schedule for classes and my internship. Beth has so far been unable to get a hold of the woman at the Bayswater Families Centre to set up a time for an interview (mainly just a meet & greet) so I still am in the dark about when I will be starting or if this is even a sure thing. She says it should be fine however, since Central has had students interning there every semester; the people at the Centre at just very busy. For my other classes, I am taking the Religions of London class on Thursday afternoons (along with British Experience Seminar and Contemporary British Society). Wanting to try something new, thinking about taking either yoga or tai chi. However, I can't decide whether or not to pay to take the classes at the University of London Union on a Wednesday night, and then have my internship Tuesdays and Wednesdays with my Mondays off, or take the classes at City Lit during the day on Wednesday for free (I think since it is an actual class and not part of a fitness centre) and do my internship on Mondays and Tuesdays (you have to do internships on Tuesdays, and then either Monday or Wednesday for your second day). I like the idea of having Mondays off for an extra long weekend (we already have Fridays off), especially for travel; however, there probably isn't anyone else with Mondays off and wouldn't be able to travel through Mondays with me anyway...I would have to travel alone. What shall I do? I will probably just talk to Mark about it tomorrow or something.
Today, I went and explored on my own. I walked down to Westminster Abbey and Parliament Square. I enjoyed taking photos of these historic buildings. This is probably my favorite part about being here so far; how everything I see has such great history behind it. I then wondered a bit and found a small market on Warwick Way and found an abundance of fruits and veggies. But the real gem of this market was a little Dutch stand with Poffertjies!!! I was so excited. I bought a plate with 10 for three pounds. They were so delicious; it made my day. I then went and looked around at the Victoria Shopping Centre at the Victoria Station and found a cute store of womens' clothes and bought some jeans for only 9 pounds. I then walked back to Vandon Hosue to make some supper and get ready for Wicked!! I really enjoyed the show. I had never seen it and I quite liked the message to the story.
Tomorrow, I hope to make it to the changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace. That is, if it doesn't rain...again. I may also go and find the Bayswater Families Centre to see how long it takes to travel there as well as the best way to go (bus or the tube). Maybe I will explore some parks as well. Then we are headed to Stratford-upon-Avon Friday morning until Sunday. I will be sure to report when I return.
Check my Facebook for many photos (if you can!)
Cheers!
