On with the bloggage: Two days ago, a group of the USC kids were hanging out in one of the gardens after class and chilling. It’s so beautiful outside, and it was a really nice and sunny day. The British are really big on upkeep of colorful gardens, so when it’s bright outside it makes it that much prettier. We continued after dinner too and transformed it into a midnight garden party. We’ll have to actually do a picnic out in the garden before we leave with sandwiches and wine :)Yesterday, I almost overslept because my alarm clock didn’t go off, but luckily I only woke up 25
min late and was still able to catch breakfast. After class, Jeff, Rex and I went out on a run through the countryside out to Grand Chester, which is about 2 miles away from Selwyn College. It took us through some of the residential streets, and the actual trail ran through a lot of meadows, lakes and trees. I swear, I sound like a broken record but everything here is just gorgeous in its quaint little Cambridge way. We had a low-key night afterwards, hanging out in my room. A group of girls who live on my floor also stopped by and chilled with us, which was fun.
This morning I got to sleep in because my A class was cancelled. Instead, we had a field trip to the Fitzwilliam Museum, which is a Cambridge arts and antiquities museum. We only got to spend about an hour there looking at ancient Greek and Roman artifacts, which was really interesting, but I would like to go back to see the other collections. Tonight, I think the boys and I are doing a pub crawl, starting the Gallon Challenge. You have to drink a pint in eight of the different pubs in Cambridge over the span of two weeks, and are ultimately rewarded with an ugly XL t-shirt. Sounds worth it to me!And we solidified the travel plans for the weekend! We are leaving for London tomorrow, taking the train sometime in the early afternoon, to check into our hotel (Holiday Inn at Regents Park- terribly exotic, I know). Not sure what sightseeing touristy kinds of things we’ll be doing, but we for sure want to see some musicals, Avenue Q and possibly also Spamalot. Saturday is when we get to see King Lear at the Globe, so we’ll have that also. And of course, experiencing the London nightlife! I’m ridiculously excited as I have not yet spent a decent amount of time in London, so I’ll be sure to blog all about it when I get back Sunday night!
