good times




Today was funny.  This morning we slept in till about 9:00 and then we all slowly got ready for the day.  It was nice not to have to rush off to anything.  After we were ready, we all went to the National Portrait Gallery.  We have an assignment to see Shakespeare's portrait and write something about it.  So we basically walked into the museum, saw the portrait, and left.  That's exactly how museums should be done.  See what is important, and leave.  After we left we found a little pizza shop that had pizza slices for 1.50 pounds.  We all pounced because you never find anything that cheap in this city!  We soon found out why it was so cheap.  Mine didn't even have sauce on it.  We justified it by saying it was carbs, which we need because we walk around so much.  Then we went to another museum that we had to go to for class.  It was dumb.  We have been to so many museums, we all hate museums now.  We never want to go to another museum until we go to Paris.  After the museum, we came home and put our swimsuits on.  That is when the adventure began.  We took a tube to the train station and a train to a little city where there was a fresh water pond.  It was quite a trek to find this little pond.  The 15 minute walk there was amazing though!!  Everything was so green and it looked like a movie.  The houses on the ponds and the green trees with the vines.  It was really cool!  We finally found the pond and we had to laugh because there was probably 50 people laying out on the tiniest bit of grass.  So we all felt the water and it was freezing.  That didn't stop us though.  Most of us got in, and we couldn't breathe because we were so cold.  But it was fun!  And we got cute pictures.  Then we came home and just ate dinner and kinda did nothing.  We decided to play card games so we went down to the basement where the common room is.  There was nine girls and we decided to play bs.  Not only did we play bs, but we played strip bs.  I probably shouldn't even be writing this on my blog, but oh well.  Needless to say, I was naked tonight in front of 8 girls.  And I wasn't the only one.  There was a table half way blocking our bodies, but not much.  I have never laughed so hard in my life.  It was honestly the funniest thing I have ever done.  We had so much fun!  I will never forget it.  Good times.
