i got locked out of class

Yeah so today my flatmates and I were running a bit late and had to walk to Imperial college by ourselves for the first time.  Needless to say it took longer than we allotted time for and showed up 15 minutes late to our class that was at 10:30.  Our professor locked us out, but then he let us in after a 5 minute lecture on being late.  He then proceeded to lecture about the freedom of the press around the world in a DISCUSSION-BASED class and made half the class fall asleep.  This is going to be a long semester with George.

After class the program office called me in to tell me that I had a pre-screening this week for my possible internship at a publishing company in promotions.  But then I got an email this afternoon that it wasn't necessary...I wonder what that means...I find out my internship next week.

Then we went to the British Museum and learned about the history of England until the Great Fire of London in the 1600s and only to find that the rest of the history was under construction.  What poor planning.  So we went back on the tube (my absolute favorite way of transportation) and had a grand old time.  Lauren was sitting down and tapped this old lady on the arm to see if she wanted her seat.  The lady starred Lauren down and then looked away and continued to talk to her husband.  It was hilarious and even the old British man sitting next to lauren with is iPod in laughed.  I'm sure he was getting kick out of us the entire tube ride.  We then went to STA to schedule our trip to Stonehenge and Bath on Sunday.  Can't wait!  I hear Stonehenge is boring, but it's something that you have to see.  Plus I promised Brent I would go to Stonehenge and take lots of pictures so he can show his class.

Then Christy and I went to a Chinese restaurant called "No. 10"  down the street for a little date night.  Delicious chinese food and it wasn't that expensive.  Then we went to Sainsbury's to get some food to eat for meals so we don't have to eat out.  Only 7 pounds for all the food I bought!

So then my flatmates and I went to a Wine Bar, only to find that there was no one else at this hole in the wall place that was totally not worth it.  So we stop off at a pub that was completely full and had no place to sit.  So we went to the store, bought some wine and then came back to our flat to watch movies and drink wine, and that's what I'm doing now.  Gosh I love London!

Things I've learned today:

1.  The English don't like people being nice to them on the tube

2.  The Plague is different than the Black Death

3.  Newquay is the best summer place to holiday

4.  Walking to Imperial takes 15 minutes

5.  Never talk to random guys who skype you because they may be pedofiles (long story).

Alright, time for some more wine, movies and bed.  Good night all!
