Bruh

Well. I feel guilty for not constantly writing in my blog. Every time I finally log on and check up on it, I get this sudden pang of guilt. But then I think, well I'm in London and it's really all about the experiences right?

The only thing is, I can barely recall what happened a week ago so how on EARTH will I be able to remember my experiences years from now?

Friday night essentially an epic fail. I got all dressed up and headed to New Globe with Eissell to meet up with Lakshman who had plans to meet up with a group of people at a club in London. Well, apparetly Lakshman's 30 min nap turned into hours of sleeping so Eissell and I ended up just getting a drink and going home.

Saturday I went to Barclay's one last time to find out my visa looks like I'm a regular visitor and not a tourist. Ugh. Then went into central London with Lakshman to the student protest taking place against the tuition increases, funding cuts and to bring back EMA which gives money to college students. Funny, the chants are the same in London as they are in the United States. What was amazing though was marching up to Parliament and thinking wow, how incredible to be fighting for something right in front of such a beautiful and powerful landmark. Lakshman and I then headed over to the Egyptian embassy with some other protestors, but when the cops came with helmets we decided to leave.

We embarked on a journey that took us to the lovely London markets. I absolutely had the best time and bought the most delicious Dutch cheese and cheap fruits. I also had one of the most amazing slices of Pizza in my life. Woops, did I just say that? Sorry NY but this pizza almost came close to Di Faro's (I'm a little ashamed to admit that, but oh well)

Then fun, laid back night at New Globe. Again.

Sunday boring...studying.

Monday night, after running into Gabriel when I went downstairs to get Lakshman we all went up to Eissell's room and listened to music. We eventually decided to go to Drapers, the bar on campus and met up with the lovely Elaine and Janki. Lots of Brits yes!

Tuesday night is when things get interesting. Decided to go to a Student night out for all London Uni students. The club was somewhere in London by Tower Bridge and inside this magnificently old, glorious building. I had a very fun time dancing, I needed it. Also had an adventure trying to find the night bus that goes back to Queen Mary(because the tube shuts down after 12 ugh lame). Thank God I was with some Brits who knew where they were going!

Wednesday just school and more boringness. Today I went for a walk in Victoria park with is about 5 min away from me. Discovered a really awesome (but pricey) hipster-ish cafe in a hipster-ish neighborhood. I stole Lakshmans yummy eggs and had a brownie and tea yum!
