Tower Bridge! Ok, I'm pretty much in love with this picture. Awesome! I'm really glad it didn't rain that day.
In front of Buckingham Palace. They still had Christmas decorations up - there was a beautiful tree in the doorway. =)
The traditional picture with the guards. I think I'll visit them again when it's warmer... I'm pretty sure they wear the gray coats when it's cold? Also, you can't really tell, but they've replaced their muskets with bazookas... or something close to it.
Today marked the beginning of classes for me. I've had to change my schedule a bit (QM has this nasty habit of changing peoples class times without telling them and making it near impossible to find the room your class is located in), but I think that everything is settled now. If things stay the way they are, I won't have classes on Thursdays or Fridays. Yay!
After classes, I went on another shopping adventure with a bunch of orientation friends to buy towels, dishes, etc., and walked the mile and a half back to campus (awkwardly) with them. It was a rather unpleasant experience, but my first "homecooked" dinner was fantastic.
Yes: pizza, cookies, and cherry coke. But to be fair, Kevin (one of my flatmates) and I did bake the frozen pizza ourselves. As a side note, there is no cookie dough in England. They don't sell it in dough form, I could only find it as "biscuit powder." And who would think to ask for "biscuit powder?" The person working at the store had no idea what cookie dough was. British children are deprived - I loved sneaking cookie dough from the fridge! Powder just doesn't do it for me.
A final note before I go to bed. Kevin and I have decided that 2 of our mystery flatmates do not exist and the third is named B. Smythe (named for his residency in room B), a midget secret agent whose drink of choice is strawberry daiquiris.
Night!
hey hilary
