I made plans last night to go by myself and explore the Natural History Museum a couple blocks away. But when I woke up it was pouring. That mixed with very little motivation meant that the museum was going to have to wait. Instead, I took my time getting ready and made some breakfast. Of course, as soon as I made this decision the skies cleared and it was bright and sunny. For my only class of the day (Modern British Politics) we were going to Parliament. I was pretty excited but the day also had the potential to be excruciatingly boring. I left Metrogate a little early so I could swing by Foundation House and pick up a book I needed to read for class. Christine was in the office and she stopped me to inform me that our class had been postponed to 3 (rather than 2). I debated going down to Westminster anyway and just walking for a bit but decided it was best just to head back home. Once I got back I met up with Mallory and Ben and the three of us headed out together. We met our classmates at Westminster tube station and began placing our bets as to how late our professor would be. (He has been late to a few classes because of the flooding where he lives. A lot of the trains have been cancelled so it's harder for him to get in to the city.) When he arrived, he apologized and thought Parliament was a bit of a lost cause for the day. Instead, we all went to a nearby pub where he bought us drinks (I had tea again!) and we chatted. We also rescheduled our trip to Parliament for next week, when (hopefully) nothing will go wrong. We spent a lot of time in the pub before heading home. I ate some dinner and I'm about to read Sherlock Holmes for homework. I think I'm also making plans with Jill about our 10 day break. I will be sure to share our plans as soon as we make our decisions.
This week has been a bit of an odd one. It's been interesting but definitely a little weird. Hopefully this weekend will go a bit more smoothly.
