I can't believe it's already the weekend! I last wrote on Monday, so I'll start with Tuesday to recap. Tuesday is my day off from work since I have my class in the morning. I'm taking Social Psychology, which is really interesting. Turns out I really don't have much outside work for the class. The reading is optional unless you're writing a paper on that week's topic. So after class I went to the British Museum -- again. I saw the Lindow Man, mentioned in about half of the forensic books I've read; the African gallery; the Enlightenment gallery, which is incredible; and other things -- can't remember what I saw Tuesday & what I saw before that. The Enlightenment gallery was fantastic & I went to the hands on desk, where you can actually touch things! Which is good because every time I go to the museum I have the intense urge to touch things, which is a big no-no. My favourite was this little tiny vase from EGYPT! I held something from ancient Egypt! They also have a dinosaur skull on loan.
Other than that I worked all week. It's so weird getting back to the flat & not having anything to do. I'm not used to having any free time, I pretty much had none last semester, so I don't know what to do with myself! Luckily on Wednesday I didn't have to worry about that because as part of the programs we got tickets to see The Sound of Music! It was incredible! I've seen a few operas, but I had never seen a real musical/play -- just school productions. And I haven't seen the movie in a while, I forgot how much I love it! If anyone wants to get me a homecoming present in April, The Sound of Music on dvd & the soundtrack would be a pretty good bet! :P
Tonight there was a wine & cheese party for everyone on the program over at the flat next door. I have a group of firends already, which is nice, but it was good to see other people too. I don't drink, but I figured it would be rude not to have a glass of wine ... but then when I hated it like I should have anticipated, I had to trade glasses with Alisha. The cheese was good though! We wound up taking some cheese & grapes back with us. We watched the last episode of Grey's Anatomy online & I started some laundry ... I think I've already compalined about how ridiculously long laundry takes.
Tomorrow we're going to celebrate Elizabeth's birthday, which is on Monday. In the late morning we're going to go sight seeing for a while then we're going to this place called Roadhouse for dinner & dancing. It's smart-causual, but we were planning on getting dressed up anyways.
So there's the very abridged version of my week. Highlights: British Museum (as usual), The Sound of Music.

Hi Kim,
Love reading your "blog"! Sounds like you're having a wonderful time there. Love the pics; they're great... I thought it ALWAYS rained in London... guess not by some of the pictures.

Have fun and I'm looking forward to the next update of blog! Love ya!!
Hi, again, Kim. Once again, it's really nice to read your updates. Think of you often. Really glad you're having such a good experience. Have you traveled out of your immediate area yet? Do you plan to try to get to some of the other European countries? Keep up the good work. Miss you. Take care and continue to enjoy your stay. Love you, Auntie Anne and Uncle Eddie
