Today we all slept in for some reason. All of my roommates and I slept.in and so did the other people on our floor. It was really weird because none of us went out at all. We all for the most part were just tired, i guess, so we slept in. So, I decided to start my paper for History on Queen Victoria, but then I got distraced. We watched American Idol because they show it here on Sundays a few weeks behind the schedule in the US. But, we watched TV and we did homework and I had four final papers to do, and i was putting it off. I went to grocery store to get some food and to starbucks to get coffee. I was downstairs in the common room doing my paper and ... read more

So, this was another low key week of classes. Monday I got up early from few hours of sleep to leave Lille in the wee hours of the morning. I slept the entire way back on the train. Then i got back to Waterloo to low and behold find out the tube line that I needed to take to Gloucester Road was down! And I was tired and had to go to class! Argh. But the Tube is easy to follow, so I figured my way around it. Then, I thought i was 30 minutes late to class, so I thought since I am so late already, i might as well stop at starbucks and get coffee. But when I got to foundation house, I found out I was a half hour early because I hadn't ... read more

Today I got up early and packed up my bag and took a shower, got dressed and went to class. The entire class I was watching the clock intently. FINALLY class was over and I went back to my room grabbed my bag and filled out my travel release and got on the tube. I changed at Waterloo international station for the Eurail and went through security. It was just like going through security for the airport, but that make sense, because it is just like an international airport. Then, I got on the train. And I had a window seat, and I watched out the window the entire way. It was like a dream. I smiled the entire way! And then we went through the Chunnel and it was really fast and when got on ... read more

I got up early and showered and went to an Anglican Mass! It was surprisingly similar to a Catholic Mass. However, the church consisted of 30 people present. But they people were very friendly! Now, contrary to common analogies of the churchgoing population. There were probably 10 elderly people, 10 middle-agers and 10 people under age thirty (those ten do include myself and the 3 altar servers). But the population at this church was a lot more diverse than what I was expecting. After church I went and got my groceries for the week at Sainsbury's! Pretty good stuff. then I went for breakfast at Cafe Deco, which is probably my favorite place on Gloucester Road! So, cute and so GOOD. Best cup of coffee you can get for a pound!!! Then I just walked around ... read more
