so tired.
Thursday night friends arrived from Dublin. We all made a family style dinner...pasta and cuc tomato feta salad....it was quite the scene. We took them out to our favorite bar in piccadilly, O'neils and had a great time. Next morning went to see changing of the guards but thank you london for deciding to downpour on us, real nice. The whole ceremony really wasn't that exciting but o well it was good to see. We all went to dinner down the street at duke of kendall and were going to to go a guy faux celebration. It's a fireworks bonfire holiday here but it got all messed up because of the weather and we ended up just having a fun night in...pretty much still exhausted from the night before.
Next morning got up to show the girls a traditional english breakfast then sent them off to see the lion king and alex, laura, and i went to check out camden. Loved it!!!! There is a big punk/goth scene which was interesting but the markets there are so much fun...vintage clothes, london stuff, food, paintings/photos, it was so big and windy and there is a canal going through it all. It is def my favorite market so far. We spent a good few hours there then headed home to meet up with everyone. Went out to a club called Kanaloa near our school where a bunch of syracuse people all gathered...had a good night and grabbed some late night shwarma on the way home from cafe helen of course (death of our flat). Sunday morning we gathered the troops to go to Brick Lane, another market that we heard is a cannot miss. It was on the smaller side in comparison to the others but still very different and cool. They are known for their vintage shops and.....authentic jewish bakeries. They have two bakeries that are open 24 hours a day ( you are really supposed to go at 3 am to get fresh bagels ) and have amazing bagels...but they call them biegels. They are famously known for their salted beef on a bagel? ew. After a good time at the market we went to speakers corner and heard the oddballs argue about everything. There was one grandma really heated about immigrants...she was soo rude i was surprised she didn't get punched.
We were exhausted from the weekend and walking...made another fam din and hung with the girls for the night... we literally laughed all weekend....it was so good to catch up with the others and show them around "our city". Back to the real world for now and dealing with classes and work ughhh i am so over work....
went to a work out class tonight...it was amazing and idk if i can move out of bed right now... our instructor was a fat gay guy named darren...he is amazing.
