End of a long week...
I wake up this morning reflecting on my first week in London and there is a lot I have learned and a lot I still need to. First, the English are always in a hurry it seems, more so than we are in the states. I don't understand this but there has been many a time I almost got hit by a car crossing the street. I also have realized these are a people who have a lot to be proud of compared to the United States. They have such a rich history and I love exploring it. Now on to the end of my week: Friday we walked around and into Barbican with Sarah, seeing the London Museum and the borough street market, which I though was pretty awesome. Such fresh and interesting food at good prices means I will be going back there sometime in the future. After I trekked to the British Library to get my card and start doing research for my paper. This place was like a DMV-2 IDs needed, a waiting room where they called out numbers, mean people who asked you every little thing about why you are there. It was pretty crazy. After we ended up at the flat and decided to try and see Eddie Izzard at the Apple Store. We get there more than an hour before they show is supposed to start and wait for an hour and a half, only to find out they were only going to let in the first 50 people! We were angry as they didn't tell us anything and we would of left if we had known it was only 50 people. So after that some of us decided to go find a club or bar or something. I found this place called Crobar, but it ended up being a biker bar basically--oooops. Finally we found Club 49, which was really nice and a whole lot of fun. We danced and finally ended up leaving around midnight. Poor us, we missed the last tube and had to work the night buses so we didn't get home until about two in the morning once we figured out everything. Saturday was a pretty boring day. Me and George walked the river and we just stayed in, nothing too exciting. As the week came to the end, I realize I still miss home, but it is always going to be like that. I am having an amazing time and I look forward to the coming weeks here learning and growing as a person.
