ok ok it has been forever since i have posted! I am sorry, I am just very very busy! But a lot has happened since I last posted. Lets see...the day after the Thames Walk we went to East London, which is a whole different area than Thames. It was the main place where immigrants would settle so it is really diverse. We went on a guided tour walk and I was able to see some of the places where Jack the Ripper had murdered his victims, which was awesome! East London wasn't my favorite but still a neat part of the experience. The next day we got to see the changing of the arms in front of buckingham palace which was AH-MAZINGGG. Buckingham palace-man what a place to hang your hat at the end of the day. But then that night I was pooped so i went to bed semi early especially since I started classes the next day. So 9 am i had to go to my first class, which I ended up dropping but what we get to do is go to class for an hour and half then go to an outing for the rest of the time. Well for this first class, Media and Politics, we got to go to Old Bailey Court House where we got to see a trial. Its so cool because they lawyers and judges wear the white curly wigs. That was really awesome to see. But then I had my internship on Tuesday which was fun to go to but its just far. I started working on booking an artist at local jazz clubs, so I feel pretty important haha. But my favorite class is theatre. We saw this play, "foreplay"...you can draw your own conclusions of what the play was about! But on friday we got to go to the tower of london which was so so so cool. I got to see the torcher chamber, the bloody tower, and the tower bridge. It was so old...i couldnt believe it. After the tower of london we went westminister abbey, which was breathtaking. I have never felt so tiny before. I got to see all these tombs of royality but I can't even begin to name them all! After the abbey i went home and took a nap-which was MUCH needed. That brings me up to today--we took a cruise to Greenwich village, which was so cute and neat. There is this amazing market that we were able to haggle with prices. We also went to this cool Marina museum, which inspired us to watch titanic tonight.

Well, I am going to upload pictures soon but i miss you all!


until next time,
love Caitlin
