Spent getting here and seeing the Borough Market. Nothing too big because I did get to my hotel about three in the afternoon. I took the National Express from Uni to Elephant and Castle, then walked to Travelodge Hotel. Got my amazing room (however the view kind of sucks because trains pass my window about twenty feet away every five minutes, it's not loud but it's just that the privacy sucks) and then walked towards the market. Saw a bunch of little art galleries and an artsy memorial, "Crossbones". I saw the Shard from the entrance, looked more sharp the closer you got when looking up. Lots of interesting graffiti in hidden spots. At the market, there was a "Before I die I want to ___________." chalk wall, done by Tate Modern. Very cool. Saw police on horses, a pirate themed ship by Thames River. Also, at the market, my stomach was twisting with disgust because there was so much different foods being cooked right next to each other. Chinese next grilled cheese, next to ribs, next to curry, next to Japanese, next to indian, next to American, and so on. So all these smells are going through the air and it was making me sick. So instead of going by my plan to get dinner at the Borough Market, I ordered Chinese to my hotel. Well, it was Pad Thai from Chopsticks. It was the first pad thai I had with the peanut sauce just peanuts on top. It was actually good though.
Brought my laptop to do some homework when it gets late. I don't plan on going out by myself late at night because one: why would I go to pubs and clubs by myself? And two: I just don't feel safe. So I'll get the majority of my homework done if I stay off of Netflix. I need to do homework anyway because in two weeks, school is over and when school is over.. everything needs to be turned in. Which, I'm not too stressed out because I'm taking only two classes and I only have an essay to write. Michaela has three, sucks to be her.
It's supposedly going to rain the entire time I'll be here. It said 50% today and it only sprinkled when I was out, tomorrow is 60% and then Monday is 70%. I brought my umbrella, rain won't stop me. I have a bunch of museums planned anyway, so I'll be inside for most of my time here. I leave on Tuesday, so stay tuned.
AND OH HEY, don't judge me but today when I was on the uni bus, I was making faces at a little girl. We were closing our eyes back and forth and playing peek-a-boo. I made a toddler giggle from across the bus. Although, soon she wanted out of her stroller and started crying. So I quit because the parents were suspicious with her high laughing to extreme crying. Don't judge me, I want to become an art teacher for elementary.
It really does suck to be me ;)
