Witty title here

Wednesday was a much needed day off.  Not literally, but it was my first chance to take it easy in a long while.  We didn't have class until 2 o'clock, and even though I told myself I would wake up early and do something worthwhile, but I slept in of course.  Class was some boring lady with bad teeth and a horrible accent telling about British "cinemaaa".  After that, we watched "Secrets and Lies," which was a compelling watch, if a little long.
That night, I was more than content to just stay around inside and watch TV and read.

Today was a busy but great day.  The class trip was optional, but I woke up at 9 to go to the offices of the Voice, London's top black newspaper.  Only about 8 of us went, but the others will be jealous.  We spent 3 hours there, and it was the most interesting time I've spent here.  They actually gave us caribbean food for lunch, and gave us awesome goodie bags with some cool stuff.
In the afternoon I went on my own to the National Gallery - it's hard doing art museums with other people, no one goes at the same pace.  I spent a few hours there, but since it's free I'll definitely be going back.

Then this evening a small group of us went out to the Black Widow, a local bar.  Alan, Deanna and myself were brave enough to go for the monster burger, because everyone is having hardcore meat cravings.  I even tried frog legs for the first time in my life - good, not great.

And, it looks like I'll be going to Paris August 6-8.  It hurts to spend money, but I can't take the risk that I'll never have another chance.
