What A Day

Heyyoo

Sooo today was one of the most tiring but most fun day's I've had so far. I slept in again (kind of...till 10) and then went out and took pictures around my dorm (Hoxton Market, Old St, Shoreditch) which was really cool. We then met up with two of our friends living at different dorms and went to the Evensong at Westminster Abbey. The Evensong was a mass-like service (without communion and lots of singing by only the choir). We went to this mostly to gain free entry into the church, however. To say Westminster Abbey is amazing a complete understatement. This building, both inside and out, could be the most impressive and astonishing building I have ever seen. It is literally indescribable. Search it on google to try and get an idea, although pictures don't do justice to the size/detail of every aspect of the church. Unfortunately photos are not allowed inside the church, so I don't have any to show. But literally it is one of the most brilliant things I have ever seen.

After going to The Abbey, we went ate dinner and then went on a walking tour of London. It was really neat because our guide took us to places that you would never think of or know to go (the tour was based mostly off folklore and urban legend/myth type things, but we went to some really interesting and beautiful sites). We think we're going to try to get together and do one of these tours either every week or every other, because they're only 6 pounds and really quite interesting and fun. Our tour guide was great (an older English man with an abundant knowledge of the city).

Anyway, we spent so much time walking today that now I am utterly exhausted and am calling it an early night. I start class tomorrow (advanced macroeconomics) but not until 6pm which is nice. I might go back to the British Museum, or maybe go exploring around Baker St. in the morning/early afternoon.

Hopefully now that  class is starting I'll be on a more solid schedule and will fall into the flow of things...this past week has been very busy and very tiring.

Hope all is well back home

Cheers
