I think Tuesdays are my favorite days here! I have the best class in the entire world. And we learn so much about Elizabethan Culture. It is so intriguing! And I am always pumped to get up early and go to this class. Then, I get done by noon and take a little time for myself to go exploring random places in London. Today, I did not venture as far as I usually do. I just went to the Natural History Museum. And Natural History is really not my forte nor interest, but hey, it's free anyways! But I did to one exhibition that was amazing and it was The Mineral, Gems and Jewels Collection. I think this was definitely something that Danny would enjoy, being the rock junky that he is!!!! Hahaha! Actually it was pretty cool, because I saw a lot of the gems that we get from the minerals I learned about in Geology! I also think this place would be something that Breanna, Maria and Thug would enjoy, being the wonderful Bio majors that they are. So, I think I will go back again and try to soak up something that they would enjoy hearing about. Also
this museum is gorgeous! The architecture is amazing and was built like a church as "a cathedral to life!" or so one of the curators said!
I also got a funny look from the guy at the security checkpoint to enter. He asked me what kind of a lady leaves home without a purse. And I was like, Me! and he just laughed.
Also, at the end when I was looking in the gift shop I found some beautiful jewelry sets and I most likely will be back to buy one of them, if I can decide which ones I want. They all are replicas of what royals have worn. My favorite is the Queen Victoria coronation set. and it is only going for 90 pounds!!! and then there are some sapphire earrings and some diamond and emerald earrings from Elizabeth II's reign. Well, see what happens.
I then went back to Metrogate and made dinner and did homework, which really wasn't a whole lot and I got ready.
I was going to go to the Sports Cafe in Piccadilly to see some people. I went with Colleen and Christy and while we were there we ran into Tyler and
Keith. And I ran into the one, the only JENNA BETTMAN!!!! OMG it was so funny! I was like JENNA!!! and she was like KT!!! and we talked for a while...small world, eh.
I also met a guy there from St. John's in MN and he is a junior and is on the FB team at St. John's and he just HAD to rub it in that two years ago, they won the D-III title...I was like whatever! but it was funny; because I was talking to him and I was like let me guess you are an O lineman! and he was like, how did you know? I just told him, a football manager just knows these things! Well, we SNCers let a bit early, so we could take the tube home and on the way we stopped and bought personal pizzas from Pizza Hut and ate them on the Tube. There was this one dude on the tube who was laughing at us for eating them!!! It was really funny, but you had to be there, sorry!
