Exhausting day. I got up and did some stuff around the flat then made my way to Trafalgar Square for class. I got there early so I walked around the square a bit then went into the National Gallery to look around a little. I saw Van Gogh's 'Sunflowers' as well as some Seurat, Degas and Monet. They were all great. Then I went outside to St. Martin's in the fields to meet for class. We went to a variety of places throughout London along the Thames. We went to S...

Pretty great day. I slept in then had a slow start to the day. Then I got ready and walked down to Oxford Circus to meet Chao to go to Kew Gardens. It was a bright, warm, sunny day: perfect weather for an outdoor attraction. Kew Gardens was awesome. It is a large park with greenhouses, gardens and a treetop walkway. It was all pretty sweet. I took an insane amount of pictures so check out facebook in the next day or two. It was all really beautiful and t...

Lazy day today. I slept in for quite a bit, much needed. My task for the day: nothing. I baked some apple brownies (T's recipe) and sugar cookies. Both turned out great. Then Ellie and I went out to Vapiano for dinner. It was great, as always. We were so full. When we were about to leave Ellie's friend from UR (and one of my tutor from UR Potential) showed up. He is studying in Brussels this semester and was in London for the weekend for some sightseeing. I...

Pretty good day. I shut off my alarm and slept late but I still had plenty of time before class so it was fine. I went to NYU to print out my paper. It was a really nice day out. I was walking around in a sleeveless shirt. It was a nice change. Class today was a field trip. About half of it was in and around Regent's Park so it was pretty familiar to me. Then we took a bus to Hyde Park corner to look at Wellington Arch and go in Apsley House. This is the hous...

Good day. I was very productive at work after discovering a new way to do things. After work I came back and chilled out at the flat. No run for me today. I overdid it yesterday so my foot is hurting again. I made myself some fabulous burritos for dinner. Tomorrow I am going shopping for supplies for my experiments in English cooking. I videochatted with Dad off and on throughout the evening. Great to catch up, as always. Now I am going to bed. Field tr...
