Take me anywhere, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
Today all of us UC people had to meet with the study center director, Andrew, to officially register with EAP for our classes. Basically what this means is we had to show up at the study center in Bloomsbury at a certain time and sign some papers. As a reward for this huge sacrafice, they took us all out to dinner at a really cool place in St. James's park overlooking the pond. We all dressed relatively nicely and got a three course meal and wine like real grownups. None of us have eaten that well since, hmm, let's see, the last time the EAP people took us out to dinner! It was awesome. Afterwards I walked home with Yuki and Jessie, and it was a totally gorgeous night. We passed by big ben and parliament, the aquarium, the london eye, the skatepark, and all the trendy restaurants on the south bank. I realized that I don't really mind what I do each night here, as long as it involves wandering the streets of London in the dark. That never really gets old to me. Last night, for example, we tried to go to Ministry of Sound but the que was about a mile long and not moving at all, so we ditched it and walked in the rain to chicken cottage instead, and despite not having a jacket, I didn't mind in the slightest. Honestly, I wouldn't mind much if I just ambled along on a wet shiny street, with nowhere particular to be, from now until June.

How lovely it all sounds. Wandering, ambling, or as I Iike to say - strolling...
Just lovely...

mom, someday maybe we can stroll the London streets too....sigh.
I love the new pictures! Especially the LOOK RIGHT on the curb!
mandyface -- the (...) group + friends are sending you a box of good, good stuff. i dont want to get your hopes up just yet because it will probably take an entire decade to get there, but just know that we miss you enough to actually get it together and put postage on a box with your name on it. amayzeen. xoxoxo
I am starting to notice something.
Alcohol is involved in alot of your activites. THAT'S MY GIRL!
YOU GO! Is the beer actually warm?

oh man, when EAP takes you out for dinner, they really do it up RIGHT. they took us to the dali museum and we had the most amazing lunch at this gorgeous, classy place. with lots of courses, paella, tapas, lots of wine, the works. now tonight I just walked by the hotel where they're throwing us thanksgiving dinner, and it looks so elegant. I'm stoked. I love EAP-sponsored events! I know they're technically included in our fees... but they feel like they're free you know?
