Oh me, Oh my. The past couple of days have been busy, and extremely awesome. First things first, still no cold water on my side of the floor. So I use the tiolet on the other side and the showers downstairs. So that's always fun.

Anyway, I am really enjoying my class. Well the academic part is ok, but the people in it are great. I have been getting quite the education just from them. We all eat lunch together, so it is a full hour of talking, and laughing, and comparing different American quirks to British quirks.

Thursday night I went out in Central London for the first time to a bar. I think everyone here was thinking I was a prude who would never go out, but really I'm just an old lady who needs her sleep. The bar was great. It was in Trafalger Square and right off the tube line, so there was not a lot of work getting to it. It started out as a bar and then a while into the night they pushed the tables aside, and the DJ started to play. It was so much fun!

This is my friend Sarah and I rockin' it on the dance floor!

The next day, my friends Sarah, and Will and I decided to hit the British Museum. We got there at 1:45 and the place closed at 2 due to an employee strike. So then we just wandered around. We found quite a few fun places that otherwise I would have never found. We found a bookshop that is decorated like a family room in a house, and all the books are historical and about witchcraft (Kori I am so taking you there!). It was a lot of fun.

We ended up eating a late lunch in Regent Park, which was absolutely gorgeous! The Queens Garden is inside and full of roses. It was so beautiful!

Last night was the Summer School Ball. It was so much fun. We had wine and a buffet in the

Mansion, followed by casino games, and big jenga and connect four games. The there were fireworks right off the balcony. They were so close and pretty.

After all this they had an after party with a DJ in the Student Union. We danced all night...not really, but I got a good workout!

Now Sarah and I are going to go back to Camden Market, because one of the staff told us there are good charity shops and we want to get outfits for the events coming up! I can't wait for them now!

What did I learn while "studying" abroad today? This is a gem from the people in my class: Fanny refers to a specific lady part (& I don't mean the boobs), not your butt. Think about that for a while, and how crazy fanny pack must sound!
