And it continues

Hip Hip Cherrio

Well I don't really remember where I left off thus I'm not sure where to start. The past few days have been full of the continuation of settling into our glorious London lives. On Saturday night, Flat 2(Marist) decided it was time to scope out the night life. We wanted to go to a bar, but they all close at 11, and as we aren't used to leaving until at least then, we missed that. So to Piccadilly Circus we went! It was very eventful, full of all of us 11 girls shouting about how our heels were killing our feet, and having serious problems finding where to pee, we we scooped into a club, swarmed by creepy men, and ran out of there as fast as we could. Then, we went somewhere called the Penthouse. It was a really cool location, it started six floors up and then was three floors of a club through levels 6-9. It had a sweet view of the London Eye and Big Ben, and the venue was awesome, but the crowd was weird to say the least. Nonetheless, we will not be returning.
 

On Sunday, we had a bus and walking tour . The bus tour was cool, it took us through all the touristy sights and we were able to get out at Buckingham and the Tower of London. We came home and I slept while Allie and Lia did whatever it was they were doing. Then we had a walking tour around Kensington, which I liked a lot more than I thought I would. It took us through the park, Billionaires Road, and through Terrace Stables. Then Lia, Allie, Erin, Dana and I went to a pub called ArcAngel for dinner. It was really cheap and very American. Sunday night we all just hung around the flat, watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and got ready for the long dread of class starting the following day.

 

On Monday, we got up and went to class. I had a 1-4 British Life and Cultures class, which is just Marist students. It was very historical, and very boring. But the professor is such a cute old British man. Then, I had a 5-8, Financial Management class which I kinda liked. As much as I don't understand economics, I find it very interesting and like talking about it. After class, Dana and I went grocery shopping, came home and ate dinner with the rest of the flat.

Today, we didn't have class so Lia, Allie, Jillian, Erin, Dana, and Emily took a bus to Hammersmith. Hammersmith is basically a really cheap area to shop, get groceries and eat. It was flippin sweet and we can't wait to go back.There was the equivalent of a Dollar store called 'Poundland' and anyone who knows Lia, knows Lia was in heaven.  We got lunch in a pub, and came home. Then Emily had class, so the rest of us got bikes and rode around Hyde Park. It was quite a work out, but there was a man riding a horse and I thought about stealing it. We came home for dinner, and just hung out. Around 8, pretty much everyone in our flat decided we wanted ice cream so we went on a hunt. We found Ben and Jerrys, came home, and went to the nearest pub, Gloucester Pub, got a drink and came home.

The day to day routines are long and tiring, but I love exploring London and adapting a London, stress free attitude about things. I'm not sure what else to write about, so I'll see y'all later.
