So I have not updated this blog in a while, much due to the fact that I don't really have any free time. My time during the week is pretty much split between my internship, school, and commuting back and forth from central London to Harrow and at night I like to hang out with my friends here. I cant remember everything that has happened in the last week and half or so, but I do know my time here in London just always seems to be getting better and better. My internship is really picking up with things for me to do, and i'm enjoying it more and more every time I go in. Classes are good, but easy. The two art classes I am taking here are level 4, and by British standard, are taken freshman year. Half the time the professor stands in front of the class just trying to convince everyone to come in next week. I don't really mind this though, because we get a lot of studio time to experiment with things. Our projects are pretty open to interpretation (which I am not really used to) but I do not really mind. All in all, although I am pretty tired at the end of each day, it doesn't bother me to have to wake up early the next day because I know a new adventure awaits.
On Friday night Brandon was taking pictures of a DJ set in the east end of London so some of us decided to go out there. When we got to the bar there were a handful of DePaul people there. Although they aren't my close friends, I always find it comforting to see recognizable faces that I know. It makes me feel like less of a minority while out here. I was glad to be able to have gone out with some of my British friends as well. To my understanding they do not go out in central that much, which is a shame, because they are so much fun. I've decided my goal is going to be trying to get them to come out more while we are here. After the first bar we went to another one, where I impressed the Brits with my killer dance moves. To quote Robyn, "You dance like a 45 year old."
We needed to take the night bus home because we were out in central until 4am. It wasn't very difficult to do, but I'm glad I was with a group because I fell asleep on the bus back home. When we got back to Harrow, as we were walking to the halls we could hear the birds chirping. When I finally went to be the sun had began to rise. All in all it was one of the best nights here.
