So my days here either consist of me sleeping in and then being back in bed by 7 or me waking up early and then not getting to bed until Midnight.

Yesterday I slept in...as late as I could. Again, the noise here is obnoxious college kids until 5am and then the cleaning people around noon. So it doesn't leave too much time.

Manasi sent me this downloadable MP3 Sweeney Todd London audio tour so my plan was to get up and go do that. It wouldn't download so I ended up just going off to Fleet Street on my own but wasn't able to find anything. So like most days I just ended up walking around a lot. My plan to put off buying my tube pass failed because it started to get dark and I don't like the idea of wandering around alone at night.

When I got back to my dorm I watched a couple movies and went to sleep.

Today was busy.

I woke up early and met up with Manasi and a friend of hers from home and then his friend from school. We met at the Angel tube stop and found our way down to the Tower of London which I hadn't seen yet. It was pretty cool. After we just kinda started walking along the Thames River exploring. We came across some pretty cool little areas with waterfront condos and sailboats. I'll post pictures as soon as I can. We walked A LOT. Manasi had to leave to meet up with her cousin so I was kinda left with her friends. I walked with them for awhile but then it just got awkward and I was hungry so I went back to my dorm, had some cereal and took a nap.

Manasi got tickets for the sample show at the Sadler's Wells Theater. It's a dance theater near where she lives and they put on a show to showcase all the shows (sorry, for all the "shows") this season. It was really cool and the theater was awesome. Very trendy chic, I enjoyed myself and it gave me a chance to dress up a little or at least get out of jeans.

After we went to a take out mexican place that was REALLY good. I had a burrito, it was great.

Overall a very good day. Tomorrow I get to hopefully sleep in more since I don't think the cleaning people come so that's exciting.
