London Fun

October 14

This one will be nice and quick. Catch up is hard. But we started our nice Sunday by going to the Hyde Park Chapel and attending a rather boring church full of white Americans. It's safe to say I slept through 85% of it. Then the only other thing of report is that we had fantastic ribs for dinner. Another win by Thaise.

First day of school :) yeah that's right I haven't had my first day of school until now. I'm pretty lucky I guess it's whatever. My classes were Music 202 and Music 212, which I really enjoyed. My classes won't be by any means rigorous, so I kind of lucked out there. It's just a bummer that now I won't have my whole day to run around and get into shenanigans whenever I want. I have to be responsible. Life's hard then you die, that's what I've concluded. After class we did something for one of our classes, London walks. We have this book full of routes to walk in London with the intention of getting us acquainted with the city, so we did one of the walks. We did the one that takes you around the area by our centre, which is Queensway and the area around Hyde Park. Our little centre is in such a good area! We're right by the Russian embassy (kind of scary, but cool) and on Queensway there are a whole bunch of cute little shops that line the street. We also went into Whiteley's, which is a little mall that apparently was Hitler's favorite building in all of Britain. Hitler was weird because there was not much that was all that special about the place. I guess he was a little crazy in the brain, though, for a few reasons. Then after we finished our walk we went back home to Thaise and anxiously awaited what she would bring us out. And she did not disappoint. She halved some avocados and put these little shrimps in it with some crazy sauce and yummy pasta. Oh Thaise. She knows the way to my heart. After we ate we went over to the Royal Opera House and watched Her Majesty's Ballet perform Swan Lake. I was dying I loved it so much!!! They were so amazing and it was my first time ever seeing Swan Lake so I had such a good time. It was so much better than the symphony... ew.
