With an entire week of time to kill and a few free days last week my friends and I have had plenty of time to begin exploring this gigantic city. I have shin splints from walking so much! I thought I walked a lot at IU but apparently I don't. I guess once school begins we won't have so much time to just wander around aimlessly exploring different stores and parts of the city :(tr

On Monday we walked in and out of stores on Oxford St. Wow! London has so many awesome stores. Stef and I tried on lots of stuff and looked at tons of awesome hangbags. But in the end we left empty handed. We decided we shouldn't go "shopping" very often considering we can't afford to buy anything. I did make one purchase though, blankets!!! After sleeping on a blanketless bed all weekend I was able to find some affordable and comfortable blankets and pillows at a store called Primark. It sort of reminded me of a Kohls. We had asked someone where to get bedding and we were surprised to find the store had clothes too..affordable clothes! So if we do need to shop we will be going to Primark.

Yesterday I had an advising appointment at my school. I found out that I will be taking all four of my classes at the Marylebone campus near Regents Park. I also found out I only have classes on Tu, W, and Th! Stef and I have the exact same schedule and classes so we will be able to take four day weekends together if we ever would like too.

Today I went to the British Museum with a few friends from Butler. I'm really not a big fan of museums like that but I did look at a few things.



After the museum Stef and I walked all the way around Hyde Park...yes, we were veryvery tired. We also saw Buckingham Palace and the Wellington Arch. They both looked amazing in the dark with all the lights and cars around.
