Small Adventures

Well Well it has been a weekend of small adventures, trying to do everything before we have to leave this glorious city.

Thursday Jordan and I did have a successful movie premiere experience; if you consider success being trampled by a billion screaming teenage girls. We were at a Hannah Montana premiere, it was to be expected right? But it was really fun, we saw Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus, some famous British soap star named Tom, the British girl from HSM3 and Demi Lavato. It was complete madness, but I'm glad that we went. Friday I spent the day being a sociologist hanging out in Camden. Zane and I saw two very different sides of the burrough and it was quite useful for our research.

Saturday I was supposed to go to Brighton but woke up feeling not so good and the weather didn't look all that good and I had tons of work to do. So I ended up staying here, getting tons of work done; but after sitting inside and doing work all day Zane, Megan and I needed to get out. We had the grand idea of riding the circle line of the tube, in the circle. But we couldn't just get on and ride, oh no. At each stop we got out and changed tube cars and took a picture of the station. We are so cool I bet you're all jealous.

Then today was the London marathon! 35,000 people running 26 miles through London, some of them dressed in fun costumes but all of them being generally amazing; of course we had to go and watch! We found a spot and stood there for about 2 hours cheering and yelling out names and listening to the same three songs in a loop (Build me up buttercup, final countdown and some other pump up song they always play at football games). It was so much fun! We saw the serious runners and that was really cool, but the people dressed as superman or wounder woman or carrots or spider man, batman, robin, clowns, bumblebees etc etc. were the most fun!

Tonight I've just been hanging around the flat, talking to people and not doing work. Its been glorious. Tomorrow we're going to hopefully go watch a session of Parliament and then finish up the papers and stuff for the week. How crazy is it that I only have 3 days of classes left? 3!! I like that it means less class, but don't like that it means leaving London....
