Today was my day for exploring. I was woken up at 7:30 a.m. (once again) by the awful smell of burnt bacon… or it may have been bacon in general. I can never tell the difference. Anyways, I made my way into Knightsbridge to find my school. In actuality it’s kind of on the outer skirts of Knightsbridge. It’s a very posh part of London and also full of tourists. Annoying, European tourists who don’t know how to fucking walk. I eventually couldn’t take anymore walking/exploring without getting something to eat. I dread trying to find food here. I’ve eaten at 3 places already and they tasted absolutely terrible. I did find a cute little cafe called Apostrophe though. The sandwhich I ordered (which had hummus, pine nuts, fine slivers of cucumber with bouquets of red onion slices coming out) was good, a bit dry, but the best food I’ve had so far here. I continued on looking around and found that most shops in London don’t open until noon on Sunday. I had two hours to kill. I got a phone call from Grey and he told me to meet up with him around 1 at the Victoria and Albert Museum so I headed over there where there were a bunch of exhibits going on from around the world… and for FREE! I walked around looking for Grey but never ran into him (probably because the museum is the size of a castle and had a hundered rooms in it). I did get to see the fashion exhibit which consisted of items ranging from the 1800s-today from major fashion designers/celebrities who made these items famous etc. I didn’t realize how tiny womens feet were in the 1890’s. Anyways, I drank a glass of wine, got a bit tipsy and left because I was starting to fall asleep. I stopped in Lecester Square for a few minutes before my tiredness hit me, so I made my way back to my shit ass hotel. London is pretty. I like it alot, but it also sucks that I’ve had no conversations/met anyone yet. Infact, it’s a bit lonely seeing all of this without anyone to share it with.

It’s 4 pm and as I type this/upload these pictures, I’m drinking a Strongbow, watching BBC1. I dropped the remote last night and now I cant change the channel, so I’ve been watching their version of Fear Factor (I guess you could call it that), and crappy 90’s movies. Cheers.
