It's been a few days, but our homework has been piling up unfortunately. Teresa went to church this morning with some of our roommates, while I am curled up in bed with a cold. Yes, it's been going from student to student as of late, and I'm the latest victim.
Thursday night, almost the whole student body, plus our two professors, went to this Italian restaurant by our flats. The best Italian food ever ... and the family that owns it were so much fun, and fun to listen to. A few of the males even danced with some of the females from our group. They bid us all a ciaobello on the way out.
Friday, we went to Westminster Abbey. No photography was allowed, unfortunately. Beautiful architecture and beautiful (if that's not the most morbid word of choice) tombs and effigies. A definite must-see in London if you ever come here.
Yesterday, we did homework and then we found a cinema playing 'Twilight', we saw it with our flatmates Shannon and Rebecca. Prices were not so different than the US in the concession stand, but we got a student discount. The cinema was in a shopping centre, so we explored afterwords. In no time, we found the *HOLY GRAIL* of grocery stores. All the stores we've been using in our neighborhood is like the illegitimate child of a 7-11 and a Kwik-E-Mart. But this one was an actual, honest-to-Buddha SaveMart/Vons/Food4Less replica. So we were in heaven, especially in the cereal and chocolate aisles. I found items for my night to make dinner (I improvised with pesto, chicken, tomatoes and pasta).
Next weekend, Teresa and I are planning on a three-day trip to Edinburgh and the Highlands. Yay for Scotland!
