Here's the problem. Since I only have a month left here, every time I have free time...do I really want to spend it blogging...or seeing the city so I can cross things off my list? Hmm...not a hard answer. lol. Otherwise...I usually want to spend it getting caught up with family and friends or uploading photos from my recent adventure...and blogging just gets put off as a last priority thing. Unfortunately. I didn't intend on it being this way...sorry folks. I'll try my best to get caught up though...for realz!!!
Okay.
Saturday March 5th:
- spent a good few hours at the British Museum (which doesn't actually contain "British" things...lol) off of Tottenham Court Road. Lots of Greek and Roman ruins. I guess they have the Rosetta Stone, but I didn't make it to that part of the museum before it closed and they kicked me out. :) Hopefully I can make it back to finish browsing through.
- The goal was to go check out Charing Cross Road...where a bunch of bookstores are. However, I forgot about the fact that everything here closes ridiculously early...so by the time I found the road, I couldn't get in anyplace. So I ended up walking around Leicester Square in a complete circle, as it started spitting rain. haha!
- Ended up getting some Wasabi (chinese) and going back to Vandon....pretty good stuff too. :)

Sunday March 6th:
- I went to a Hillsong church service. It was very different than just about any other church service I've ever attended. It was held in a theater....a place actually used for concerts at night. And the service itself was very much like a concert as well. They used lights and may as well have used smoke machines too. The worship included, along with the band, a line of singers along the front of the stage just jumping around and going crazy. haha! It was strange...reminded me of CIY kind of...but cheesier. Definitely aimed at young people...but it was not the traditional kind of church service that I'm used to at all. lol! Well worth experience though...I'm glad I went at least once.
- Shopping at Primark. :) Ooo! And I found some boots....about time! lol! ShoeZone...made for poor college students. Thank you!
Tuesday March 8th:
- During the internship we went to the O2 to take pictures (like the advertising pictures I took on my first day for their new website). I described the O2 in my last post. It was really nice to get out and walk around. Inside the O2, basically a giant tent, they have restaurants all around the edge of it. Pretty cool. :)

Wednesday March 9th:
- Went to the Royal Academy art gallery for my art class. All sculpture...modern stuff. One in particular was very disturbing... :/ It was basically a picnic scene set up...real food and everything...enclosed in a glass case....with thousands upon thousands of flies alive and dead on the floor and in the food....Disgusting!! I hate art like that. Shock value...not art. :/
- Day dedicated to homework. Yep, that's right. The "study" part of "study abroad" finally kicked in. Sucked because I didn't get it all done and had to finish it while my parents were here. Being a tour guide and having homework on top of it is a little stressful. haha! Not recommended. :)
