Hey everyone!!
I'm still alive, I'm so sorry I haven't posted more. I really wish I could but I just feel like while I'm in this awesome spending time on the 'net is a bit of a waste. Once I get to my job and things calm down a bit I promise I'll make a big gigantic update and let you know exactly what I've been up to.
I've seen such beautiful things. Today I went to a small museum in SomersetHouse and saw paintings by Monet, Manet, Van Gogh, and KAndinsky among others. I really like Kandinsky. I took a lot of photos so I'll have to update those as well. After the museum I came back to the hostel and Mat and I had a webcam date. It was so great to actually SEE him laughing instead of just hearing him laughing. I was squeeing like a spazzy little girl! Plus, it doesn't cost anything so you can't complain about that.
I'm kind of hungry and I'm craving bangers and mashed from my hotel, they're sooooooooooooooo damn good, but I've had them like three times already and I really should spice things up. It's so funny....I get to England and my food options are: Thai, Lebanese, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese or Italian. hahahhaa. Camden is very multicultural. I had some chinese food from the Camden markets.....big mistake!! I seriously thought I was going to die.
I'm meeting up with an internet friend tomorrow and I'm super excited. She sounds really sweet on the phone and we're going to go for ice cream. I leave here in Tuesday and I'm kind of sad, I've made some good friends and it'll be a shame to say goodbye. Tomorrow I'm having a fake goodbye party aka coming downstairs from my room to get drunk at the bar with the staff. At first I thought they all hated me, but they just hate all the backpackers. I've forced them to be friends with me, though! hahaha.
Yesterday I went to Bath, which was about an hour and a half on the train from here. My friend, Neill, used to live there so I forced him to take me and be my tour guide. First we saw the ancient roman baths from 2000 years ago. It's so crazy how the romans were so technologically advanced. Then we had tea and cakes in this really beautiful fancy shop. There was people playing the violin and cello and huge chandeliers and snooty waiters. It was fun to pretend to be all fancy and rich and talk about the Earl of Bath and talk like the queen. hahaha. We had a picnic in park and ate jam sandwhiches while I got a sunburn. We walked through the french market trying to find cheese and talking with french accents. I did end up buying some petit fromage but it was DISGUSTING. After that we walked through the botanical gardens and looked at purple trees and yellow flowers and gigantic, gigantic goldfish. Bath has a spa where you can go bathe (imagine!) so we went swimming and talked about which country is the best to raise children in. And then we took the train home while I forced Neill to listen to all my favorite songs. He's going to love Jets to Brazil by the time I leave, I promise!!!
Anyways, I'm thinking of going for some Thai, and it's soooooo nice out I can't justify being on the computer anymore.
