Week 7

Well, this has got to be the sadest week ever! Ahh...the last week! I don't know what to do! Oh, wait...study! Yeah finals...forgot about that. Or, not really actually. Well, anyway, let me recant my semi-boring adventures from this past week.

On Monday...I slept. I think I slept. Actually, I feel as though I must have been sleeping because I don't really remember what I DID do and therefore, I must have been sleeping because you don't really remember things when you're sleeping, you know? But anyhow, I had class and then I slept a lot. Tuesday...I had class, and went to the library to get some book for my paper and tried talk to the Chapel Clerk at King's College Chapel, which is the gothic architecture building that I am doing my paper on. Actually, I'm pretty sure I just sat in the Chapel all day Tuesday trying "understand" things, but really just trying to figure out my quasi-complex book that I got from the library. It wasn't a very successful day obviously.

Wednesday...wow, this week must have been horribly boring, because I don't recall anything midly interesting on that day. Dinner was good? No, that's got to be false. I think I had class and continued to do research for my paper. I met with some of the Japanese students who are doing a study abroad program here as well. They are from Waseda and they are really nice. We had free wine and cheese after dinner on that day! I talked with some of the girls and their english is so impressive for how long they have been learning it! I wish I could speak French like they speak English. The boys were a little shy. I learned some Japanese though which was really cool!

Then Thursday...more paper? And Chapel researching?...You bet! We also went to Corpus Christi College Chapel and St. John's for my architecture seminar. I got to see where they supposedly filmed Harry Potter! Oh...that was the sad highlight of my day...Then on Friday, we went to St. Botolph's and Great St. Mary's because the Catholic Church we were supposed to go to was occupied. I worked on my paper that afternoon (and actually got work done) and then I hung out with a good friend for the night. Saturday, much of the same...and I actually finished my paper that morning! That night we watched Monty Python in my common room of my hostel because one of my friends hadn't seen it yet, and we also had banana and nutella wraps...ooo, sooooo good. Yummers. And Sunday, I studied for my final exam that I had today, Monday. I just got out of it actually. It wasn't that bad! I got a pasty this morning too which made me super happy...except, it was a bit disappointing. I tried a different place called Pesto, but I think I like the Cornwall pasty place much better. Thought I'd try!

Anyway, that was my horribly NOT entertaining study filled, paper writing, food eating week. Anyway, we move out Saturday and I just booked my hostel for London until Tuesday when I fly out to France! Ahhh! I need to get all my paperwork for France together...so scary! I hope it goes well. Anyway, wish me luck on my Econ paper that is due Thursday and which I haven't started...and my final for Econ that I seriously need to study for...! Outties!
