"They're the same as my tan, baby! FAKE!"

How much do I love Big Brother 9?  So much.  That's what I'm watching now while stir fry is being cooked (lovingly, by Bess).  Hysterical.  

Since I last posted almost a week ago, I've done quite a bit.  

Monday, we had class and we went to the V and A.  I saw an ENORMOUS plaster cast of Trajan's Column.  There was this very awesome exhibit about Fashion, it were NAHHCCE.  

Tuesday, we had class with Velek and it was Team Voldemort's last chance to bring it back and kick everyone else's TAIL. Which we did!  YEA-YAH!  We're awesome.  Then we had the rest of the afternoon to ourselves for research.  I went to the Transport Museum in Covent Garden (which was nice) and the museum was very nice!  Plus, I get reimbursed for it because it counted as research.  

Wednesday, we had class with Joyce and we went to the Soane museum which was AWESOME.  This guy, John Soane, had this HUUUGE collection of just stuff. and then transformed his house into a museum.  He had a sarcophagus in the basement and this one room had paintings on all the walls and he had so many paintings, he had to put the walls on hinges and have like three layers of paintings.  It was fascinating.

Thursday, we had our papers due (I stayed up till almost 4am writing) and the first of our oral presentations.  We went to the British museum where Bess presented her topic.  Then we went to Russell Square where Patrice presented her topic of The Underground 19th century.  We then went to the Parliament area near Big Ben and all that, and ate lunch.  We met at the Cabinet War Rooms where Kaitlyn presentated, then we went into the Cabinet War Rooms and toured around.  It was really interesting.  It was the secret underground planning place of Churchill and his Cabinet, and when the war was over they were just like, "Woot.  Alright.  Let's go home," *switch off lights*.  And they found it in the late 70s all the same.  Wow.

Later, we went to Primark and shopped our little hearts out.  I bought a dress and some jeans and a cute little top and a little blazer.  Then Bess, Lacy, Sarah, Leigh, and I went to Ghetto to get our daaance on.  It was great. We got there at 11:30, and danced until 3 am!!  whoo.  We got a cab home, but the cabbie went too far on Kilburn High Street so we had to walk a mile to get back to the flat.  Gerrreat!  BTW, two words.  Drunken friends.  That's it.  alright. 

Today, Lacy went to see the FOO FIGHTERS!  yeah!  Celeste and Katie and I went to Portobello Market.  I got some jewellery and a pair of glasses frames. BTW, Daddy, what do you want me to bring back for you from London?
While we were in Portobello, Bess went to pick her brother up from Heathrow and we met them back at the flat.  Then we all went to Camden.  Camden Market is different from Portobello in that P has a bunch of antiques and jewellery and stuff that both old people and young people would like.  Camden is basically a huge Hot Topic.  I bought some earring studs.  We ate lunch at this Chinese food stand, I had some rice, chow mein noodles, chicken and mushrooms and chicken in black bean sauce for 3 pounds 50.  It was the best, ever. 

We got back and Bess started the stir fry... we are all pooped.  Everyone is drinking cider (sainsbury's brand, 2 liters for a pound, classy) and anticipating food while watching Big Brother.
