I tried to be productive this week because A) I had my first final coming up and B) Zak was coming to visit! I had a typical week of work. On Wednesday night we had our first final. To celebrate afterwards Greg, Jill and checked out King's Head. It is hidden over by the tube station in a little alley. I found it running once and have been wanting to go forever. We stayed for a drink and then came home to relax around the flat.

Thursday night we had our play of the week. This week's was Much Ado About Nothing. I was surprised at how much I liked it. The main actor in it just received an award for Best Actor of His Generation, so you know it had to be good. Also, the main actress was the Quidditch ref from Harry Potter!

Afterwards Jill and I picked up some Indian Food and waited for Zak at the flat. He got in late so we just sat around, had dinner and caught each other up on our lives. We used the next day to sleep in. It was a nice day so we opted to go to the London Eye. Jill, Zak and I made a pit-stop at Parliament/Big Ben to do some of the typical tourist things. Val met us at the eye. It started out as a nice day. The first half of the ride was beautiful. At the very top it started pouring and hailing. One half was still really clear out and the other half was getting pelted with rain. We made it down safely.

London's not much fun when its raining so we went to Covent Garden and sat in a pub. Greg joined us. We moved from the pub to get Sushi and then back to the flat to get ready for the evening. Jill, Zak, Greg and I went to Cafe de Paris for the night .Apparently some great song was on when we walked in so Zak and I made a bee-line for the dance floor. After a little dancing we went to find Jill and Greg. We made a circle and didn't see them so we danced some more. Again looked for Jill and Greg and could not find them. At about this time I figured I should result to calling/texting them. Still no answer. Then Zak mentioned Jill had his passport. I got really worried (for no reason) so I began to leave hate messages on Jill and Greg's phones.

Jill checked our coats so I thought it would be a good idea to see if there coats were there to see if they left us. The coat man wouldn't let me get my coat without a ticket. I tried to be sly and give him way to much money, but he ended up being nice and did not take it. He just let me go in there and look for their coats. As I was in there I got a call from Zak who found them. Apparently they were in a part of the bar that I did not see. They were not to thrilled about my hate messages but we danced out our anger on the dance floor. We moved back to the 'secret' bar. Jill and Zak proceeded to attack/dance with each other.

We left about closing time, and decided to pose for some pictures on the walk to the bus. We stopped at one of the two big fountains in Piccadilly. Zak and I started with a boring picture of us standing and smiling. To spice it up a bit I had the bright idea of climbing onto the ledge. Well the ledge was a little more wet than I realized, and as soon as I got up I feel into the fountain. Luckily it wasn't a bad fall, and only my leg got wet. Of course I was not graceful at all getting out (and I was wearing a dress) and I managed to flash some tourists. We made it to the bus with no more mishaps. Greg treated us to some delicious bratwursts which we enjoyed on the bus ride home.

Val was there when we got back and hanging out with Lindsay was spending the night on her pass through. We chatted with Lindsay, Zak and laid on our disgusting floor under a un-blown up air mattress and shared secrets, Jill and I then talked until the birds chirped, then we finally all passed out. I cuddled up with Zak in our outfits from that night, in a small twin bed, while my bed was empty upstairs.

After the night we had we definitely needed to sleep in. When we woke there was not much we were in the mood to do. We started with lunch at Whole Foods. Then moved onto some shops and an attempt at Harrods. After that it was already pretty late so we grabbed a pint at The Courtfield and came back to the flat. We got ready to go to Punk for the evening. We all got ready, went to Punk and I walked in and felt sick immediately. Poor Jill sat with me in the bathroom while I was miserable. Finally, we grabbed a cab home. Everyone came home with me and I walked in and went straight to bed.

The next morning was Easter. I felt bad for having ruined everyone's night, so I ran to the store and made a flat Easter basket. It was another slow morning. There was lots of laying around and relaxing. Jill and I took Zak to the bus station and sent him on his way. Then we ran to the store to buy stuff for Easter dinner. We figured Mexican was appropriate. When we got back to the flat Zak called us and said the bus took him to the wrong airport. He had no way to get to the other one in time, so he came back for one more night. We had Easter dinner with our flat and the boys. Zak made it back for the end of dinner. We played some Catch Phrase and called in a night.

It was a bank holiday so there was no work on Monday! Zak re-left and I spent my entire day inside Starbuck's doing homework. ________________________________________________________________________
