I booked a trip to Paris for December 2! I'm going to Paris with Kate, Sammie and Erin. We're going Thursday night til Saturday night. It'll be so fun! It was fairly cheap, 58 pounds. I'm excited.
After we did that, we went to Oxford St to go shopping. We went to Primark again, the store that I went to last week. It was still crazy; it was like a Christmas rush and so insane. Today was also a really nice day so it was so so so hot when we were in the store. It had to be in the 60s today and I was absolutely dying of heat. I looked around for a while and found a lot of crazy British clothing that I was tempted to buy, but in the end I decided I wouldn't actually wear it. I ended up buying a lot of clothes (including a pair of red leather gloves and black flats). I basically ran out of the store because I was so hot and annoyed with the million people in there.
Kate, Sammie and I went to a waffle place and I got a chocolate waffle. It was pretty expensive, which was stupid. Then we went to H&M and I bought two skirts and two shirts. I'm really excited to wear them. The guy overcharged me twice, you gotta watch these people they like don't pay attention to things.
That took up most of the day and then we came back to QM for a little bit. Then Sammie, Kate and I went to an Indian-ish restaurant for dinner because Sammie thought I would like the food since it's spicy. (I love spicy things.) I actually ended up loving it. Sammie is Indian, she was born in India (she lives in California now) and so she's an expert on all things Indian. She said the food and people in Mile End are a combination of Bangledeshi and Pakistani, not exactly Indian, but the food tonight was close enough. I got some sort of curry and I loved it! It was spicy, I could probably deal with spicier and the naan was delicious. I'm so excited, I'm really branching out. Our waiter liked us a lot too, I think he's like part manager/owner or something, and told us he'd give us 20% off every time we came back.
Peter and Anna came to hang out with us after dinner and the five of us walked around Brick Lane. Brick Lane is such a strange place, I still can't figure out how to describe it. It's a brick road, there's graffiti everywhere and tons of middle eastern food all over the place with guys trying to get you to eat in their restaurants. There are all different types of people dressed all different ways walking around going places. Some of the people are creepy...but not most. It's just a very unique place.
Tomorrow morning I have to get up around 6 to go to Gloucester Rd tube station to meet my Villanova group to go to Wales. We're going to Wales tomorrow morning until Sunday night. Hopefully this will be fun, I don't think I would choose to go to Wales on my own. I packed a small little bag and I'm all ready to go, as long as I can get myself out of bed.
Alright well it's bed time. Here's me at the 2012 Summer Olympic site with the stadium in the background:
