10 gallon ascots

I dunno if I have mentioned this yet, but my weekends are far too long here. I don't really know what to do with myself, ever. It's especially difficult to find things that don't involve spending tons of money. Everything is expensive! Yesterday I got breakfast (only 3.40), bought a new wallet from H&M, and treated myself to a cheeseburger for dinner. Total cost?! about 17 pounds. That's 34 dollars! Clearly a normal relaxing weekend where you hang out and eat with your friends is not an option here. The other challenge is to find something I can do by myself, while everyone else is busy doing productive things. Basically it comes down to museums. There are plenty of them, so it shouldn't be an issue. But the problem is they close at like 5 or 6, and I usually don't wake up before 1 or 2 unless I have some motivation like class or a planned outing, but since it's always the weekend, I can sleep as much as I want! Today I was going to go the national portrait gallery, but since I slept so late, I am gonna go to the tate modern instead which is open on weekends until 10, even though I have already been there twice. This is the kind of pointless life I lead over here in England. Be jealous or full of pity, depending on your life philosophy-- I personally have not decided yet.
