Long day. Work was pretty good. I spent the entire morning working on a particularly difficult piece making little progress so after lunch I moved onto others and made much greater progress. At the end of the day Felicity told me about a trip she was taking her son on tomorrow (thus not being at work) and told me to have a good weekend. So now I have tomorrow off so that was a nice surprise. This evening was a mixture of things. I made chorizo empanadas for...

Cold cold day today. Work was okay. Not terribly exciting but not necessarily boring either. I was just sick of looking at a computer screen so I kept getting distracted. Walking to work was not too bad. I seemed to be dressed appropriately and was even a tad bit warm. Coming home from work was a different story. I was super cold. My hands were fine (first day I wore gloves) but by toes were numb (big surprise) and the rest of me felt cold. I really need to go...

Good day. I went for a run through Regent's Park and some of the terraces along its east side then made my way to NYU. I met up with one of my partners to finish our presentation for class. Class today, contemporary art, was very interesting. We talked a great deal about the Frieze Art Fair then moved onto presentations (which were really low-key). Ours went pretty well except the girl that was in our group would face the teacher, not the class, when she sp...

Another not super exciting day. I spent the morning finishing Harry Potter then doing some prep work for a group project for contemporary art. Class today was interesting. It was a lecture today so not as exhausting as field trip days. Every time we have a lecture our professor encourage us to go to all the towns and buildings he talks about. If we were to go to every place he talks about every single weekend here would be occupied, and then some. I was supp...

Not an exciting day today. I slept in the basically watched tv, ate food and organized my room for the entire day. I sorted through my receipts, brochures and gifts to make sure everything was in order. I am right on budget this week including some future travel plans paid for already (transport to and from Paris and Barcelona). I had been over budget for a few weeks so I'm glad to be back on track. It certainly makes me feel a little more comfortable. I videoc...
