The first of my final projects was due today – I had to give a presentation about satire for my British Literature class. I did it with a partner, so it went fairly well. I don't think the prof was expecting much; she's always talking about how unfair it is that we have to have grades and assignments. I'm not too worried about it.
When I got home from class, I left almost immediately to meet Kyle and his family at Westminster Pier, where we took a tour/cruise down the Thames. It was a nice change of perspective since we had taken a walking tour of the same area in the beginning of the semester.
After that, we went to Harrod's. I hadn't been there before, and I don't think I need to go back ever. It was a nice store, with separate rooms for the really exclusive designers, but everything was way out of my price range (of course) and I felt like the people who worked there and the people who actually shop there were judging me by the clothes I was wearing. I bought some fudge though, just so I could say I've bought something at Harrod's. It was 1.58 pounds or something – the cheapest thing I could find.
Then we went out to eat at an Italian restaurant. The Peters have been really nice about paying for things for me... I keep trying to pay them back but they won't let me.
After dinner Kyle, his sister and his sister's friend and I went bowling at a place about a five minute walk from our flats. It was exactly like American bowling. I think I bowled a 74. I'm a little rusty (or something).
Tomorrow we're taking a boat to Greenwich, the origin of Greenwich Mean Time and the Prime Meridian. They say you can stand exactly on the Prime Meridian and be in two hemispheres at once. Neat!
Cheers!
