This one's for Giggles.

Good Evening! (Or good afternoon, I guess. It is only 2 pm back in the states. Here it's 8.)

This morning, I did nothing. I woke up late and lounged around. It was great. I watched the majority of a movie and took my time getting ready.

First class of the day was British Crime Fiction. We talked about Poe a lot and our thoughts on his story Murders in the Rue Morgue. I really enjoyed the story and found it very interesting to compare to modern works of Crime Fiction. We start Sherlock Holmes next week and I'm very excited to learn more about Arthur Conan Doyle's work.

My second class of the day was Fringe Theatre. Our class time for Tuesdays is 6-8pm but our professor had a prior commitment so we decided to meet earlier and go on a short walk through London. We were meeting at 5 which meant that I had about an hour in between my classes. Because we were too lazy to walk back to Metrogate only to turn around and walk back in order to catch the tube, Jill and I stayed at Foundation House. (From know on, Jill will now be called Giggles Salisbury, just so everyone is aware. You can thank Christine Harris for that one.) Giggles and I sat on the floor of the Lawrence classroom and ate snacks until we had to get the tube (and the cleaning lady was about to kick us out). We rode the tube to Embankment station and met up with our class. We walked through the city and learned a bit about the history and significance of where we were. After a bit we stopped at The Salisbury pub to warm up and have a drink. Giggles was rather excited. We sat for a while and talked about how much we hated the play from the night before and how it could have been better. After everyone finished their drinks, we did a little more walking to Covent Garden. That's where we went our separate ways. Jill, excuse me. Giggles and I stopped at a candy shop that sells American candy and I got Mini Chewy Sweettarts (one of my faves). Then we headed home for some dinner. On our way we discussed how it was possibly that we weren't friend until recently. We are so similar it's a bit scary. Now, it's time for homework and a movie. Then I'm off to bed.

On a completely unrelated note, the internet here is still terrible and it's very frustrating. All of us are slowly losing our minds because of how awful it is. Here's hoping it gets better.
