Best Week Ever?

This past Saturday, Jenny and I went to Oxford for the day. It was pretty small, and by the end of the day I feel like we had walked on every street at least once. It was really beautiful and had a lot of character. I like taking my time and exploring little cities in England now. This weekend im going to Stonehenge and Bath, and the next Cambridge. I've been giving some serious thought to the trips around Europe that I want to take, and planning for that is pretty exciting.

So i guess this week is one of Westminster's reading weeks; and damn what a great concept. On Monday I had work but with both of my classes cancelled Tuesday, we decided to go out for Messi Monday. Even if its only popular on Monday nights, I think its so cool that the students here have a bar they can go to to socialize and dance. Plus having Robyn (who works at the bar) as a friend comes hand in hand with a serious perk.
On Tuesday Jenny and I went to Camden Town, which is basically an area just full of markets. It was pretty cool, I bought a sweater, and had a great day there.
On Wednesday we went to the British Museum with my art and society class. It was ok, but I had been there before and was tired so I wasn't entirely into it in the moment. Afterwards though, I met up with good old Charlie Tripp, a friend from back home in Jersey. He is currently interning for a member of Parliament, and gave me a tour of Westmintster Palace, you know, this building:

It was stunning on the inside and out, and I felt very privileged to be given such a great tour. Afterwards we got lunch and caught up a bit. I always think its nice to hang out with people from home, you just have that one common bond no matter how different you may be. He even compared something in London to the Spring Fling, which deffinatly put a smile on my face.

Today I also did not have class and the weather was BEAUTIFUL, so I did some exploring in central. Needless to say this is shaping up to be one of the best weeks here in London to date.
