Follow me on my journey to London as I study abroad this fall. In "A Long December" Counting Crows describes "the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters, but no pearls." I've had enough oysters and it's now my goal to get more pearls.

[Day 87] Classic

Kate and I have spent the entire day listening to Canon in D and writing papers. She has it much worse than I do, she has four papers due tomorrow. I have one due tomorrow, one due Wednesday and two due January 10. It would probably be a good idea for me to write the two due in January now before I go home, but I think I would rather sit inside writing a paper in Pittsburgh or Philly than do that in London.

Also, US Airways changed my flight on Sunday so now I have a three hour layover in Philly before I leave for Pittsburgh. Maybe I can write a paper then.

Canon in D!

I haven't really done much in the past two days. Yesterday I worked on my paper for a while and then I went to Golden Fryer one last time with Kate and Sammie for dinner. Unfortunately my chicken roll was disappointing and didn't live up to normal Golden Fryer standards. After dinner Kate and I procrastinated for a while, got stuck outside for a fire drill and then I decided to go to Tower Bridge with Vijay instead of doing my work. I really wanted to walk across it yet and mostly everyone else already has. We took the bus there, got off at St. Paul's which was way too far, and had to walk across Millennium Bridge and along Southwark until we got to the bridge. It was pretty cool walking all the way along the water from Millennium Bridge past London Bridge, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre and Sir Francis Drake's replica ship and to Tower Bridge. It was all lit up and there were Christmas trees everywhere, it was cool. We walked past Tower of London and waited for the bus home but three buses passed us by so we walked part of the way home before catching a bus.

I've been sitting on Kate's bed for the past four hours trying to do this paper. It's painful. It's too much information and not organized enough. I can't wait until it's done. I have about 800 words left and then have to proofread it. Kate and I are going to make brownies and watch the Grinch later tonight! It'll be so much fun. Also I think I'm nocturnal, so I'll be up all night :)
