Lessons of the Day (1)

Started the day going grocery shopping at Sainsbury.  Things learned:

1).  The Tourist sites are on the Victoria Line of the Underground.
2).  Sainsbury's rocks

Spent early afternoon hanging out with new friend Oscar (met on first night here).  Things learned:

1).  British people are more private in their personal affairs.  Hence why the dorms are all single rooms and why the doors never stay closed.
2).  The British Natural History Museum is free!

Went to modify my schedule.  Dropped "The Art of Film" for "Introduction to Linguistics" and changed "Writing in London" to Tuesday instead of Friday.  So now I have free Fridays and Wednesdays.  What will I do, you ask?  Easy:  intern and travel.  Things learned:

1).  Location of the Study Abroad offices at Westminster.  Except it's a different name than what I said.

Went to Oxford to get to a catalogue store called Argos.   Bought postcards and a set of tea mugs.  Will pick up frying pan on Saturday.  Things to get:  plates and silverware.  I now have food and the tools to cook the food with.  But I have nothing to eat it on.  (Blessings on Alice because she's still letting me use her dishes as long as I wash them right after I use them.)

Ate dinner with Oscar, Vanessa, and Alice.  Vanessa and Alice are both on my floor.  Yay. 

Learned about Britich television today.  There are freeview channels which are in the common room, but only one can get through clearly.  Watched an interesting and intense program about a problem child in a school and the teacher that will probably change his life.  It was interesting to listen to at least.

Learned about four web comics from Oscar.  My computer time is suddenly very occupied.

This week is going really slow.  Is that just me?
