Wednesday. One of the first days I didn't have to get up early, but I did get awaken by my roommates moving around, but I fell asleep again until 1030am. The cleaning people are suppose to come today, so I quickly showered, but alas, they came during my shower, and when I got out they cleaned the bathroom I was using...Love it ! They change your bedding, vacuum the flat, and clean your bathroom/kitchen. I had my leftover beef chow fun for breakfast, called my mom...woke her up at 7am Lol!! Then I left to go to my shakespeare class at a lil before one..caught the bus like 2 mins after waiting, then almost got ran over by stupid british drivers, the walking man was still flashing, so I didn't understand why they were moving and why they DID NOT let me cross. Don't even know what to trust anymore! Then i was like still traumatized the whole journey...and this hobo and his dog were walking right before I reached CAPA, and the dog was angry or something, so it like wouldn't move and the owner got mad and left it...so I walked past the dog, then the owner turns around and starts calling for the dog, in my head i was like "oh god..that dog is going to run over me from behind" and it comes whizzing past me right as I moved, thank god. Scary!!! All the dogs are so big, so scary.
I had the shakespeare class, it's a 3 hour long class and we're reading a bunch of plays, hamlet is one of them, and i'm suppose to do a presentation on one of the characters from that play, I think he's an evil character. The professor is an old british man, as with all professors, I don't have a clue what he's saying half the time. I'm more awed at their accent that I'm not able to take in the content of what they are saying. We have like two papers to write, presentation and an in class writing for the semester. I was wicked sleepy the whole class, I hate school, hence why. He showed us a clip from a love story by shakespeare or something, gwyneth paltrow was in it. He let us out 30 mins early, so I took this time to go to the post office and exchange some currency (80USD) and to grab a latte, I met up with Zac. Then we walked back together and just chilled downstairs in the Resource Lounge for about 30 mins. Then we headed to our internship class. I met up Vicki at Harrods, then we took the tube to Chinatown to have dinner. I ordered beef chow fun! This place is supposedly very hong kong..I also got a mango bubble tea halfway through my meal because i was soo thirsty! I had juice with me, but it wasn't cold anymore :(

Thursday. Officially spent all my grocery money for this week, but I got rice so that will last the whole month or maybe 2. Today was a bum day, I got up later than planned, at 830am, had class at 1030, international marketing..but we got there on time, and the professor was an hour late. I was falling asleep, got the text for free, in the CAPA library. Then went to Tea @ CAPA at 130pm and got some tea and custard cream biscuits fo freeee! Then I set off to High Street Kensington because I needed to get some lotion at L'occitane. I got the bigger size for about 21USD. It's the cherry blossom scent that vicki has! They don't sell this scent in the USA so it's definitely different. The rose one was too strong for me, this one was just faint and nice. Then I headed back...mad traffic on the tube...waited forever sweating..inside the train. Went to Tesco to go legit grocery shopping. I got brie cheese!! Salmon, prosciutto which is the italian ham, pasta, sauce, eggs, bread, and some shrimp. lol. Groceries cost so much!!!! London Fashion Night out was tonight..we Chiyo, Zac, Johnny, Katie, Chrissie, Alexa, Wendy and a whole buncha people went to out to town around 7 or was it 8...Anyways we were a bit late so there was no more free wine/champagne but i did score a free tote!! We went to the Comedy Club after, it's near Ripley's believe it or not..people were singing kareoke..we def brought the party. I tried my first guinness, i like it! besides the end of it...so bitter. :O We caught the last tube back!! 12am! Got back around 1am..hung out a bit upstairs at the pent house with Alexa and Meghan, but got hungry and peaced out.

Friday. Today was the tour of Imperial! Without my alarm I somehow woke up at 10am...so I started getting ready then everyone else woke up after me..Left at 12 with Chiyo to head to CAPA. Imperial is so close to us! It's right next to the space museum we went to previous and the natural history. Showed us the two dorms, which had a bar in each..and there's a bar in the student union as well. We saw the library..and lots of graduate kids, I hope I meet some people at imperial..we could party together..LOL JK. Then Chiyo and I went to search for a starbucks for our dying thirst! I got a mango/passion fruit blended...5.12usd!! for a Grande. So delicious though!! Went back to near CAPA cause Chiyo...doesn't know how to turn her phone on! OMG So funny, the guy js turned it on right there, I laughed so hard..LOL. Went to Piccadilly Circus to check out shops and just relax....went to this amazing toy store..so big!! like 5 floors. HAMLEYS! I got a magic balloon for free...it died after it made it back to Ealing though :( The balloon person was funny...drew a lot of attention to this "american" right here. Then at Ealing, I just got some juice and biscuits at Tesco, and hit up PoundLand for some candies. Made my first real dinner tonight...white rice with shrimp/egg and fried chicken. hehe. I went to Westminster with Zac and Wendy around 7-8pm? We took some pics at big ben...london eye..then went to a bar /restaurant near my work..I DRANK WATER...no $$ gotta save!! Then came back around 12am. I made a sandwich/showered...so ended up going to bed around 1:30am...so late..
