The majority of my day was spent watching How I Met Your Mother and going between the kitchen and my bed for snack food. Which isn't the healthiest thing, but I already napped and I didn't want to sleep anymore. So I didn't.
At around 3pm I started my laundry. Well, it's more like 4. I was distracted. Anyway, before I could take the clean clothes from the dryer, I left for the London Eye to meet up with Shelby and her friend Hannah. There is a free 4-D Experience movie before we left and it was really good. Cool music and showed fantastic shots of the London Eye and the wonders of it views throughout the seasons. Did you know that they can shoot fireworks from the London Eye structure itself? I think that's the giant Bonfire Night celebration I missed along the Thames last weekend. No, two weekends ago. Last weekend? The weeks are starting to slur together. (I'm also really tired as I write this.)
The London Eye is a fantastic view of the city and it was gorgeous at night. We saw Big Ben of course because he's right across the river. I tried to look for Piccadilly Circus and my dormitory, but neither could be accurately located. Took a few cool pictures of the London Eye from inside the London Eye. Have a picture of me cupping the London Eye in my hands. We talked and took pictures. There is a souvenir photo taken at the end of the ride. Shelby, Hannah, and I all made funny faces. We weren't going to buy a photo anyway, so why bother looking nice, right?
There was a fair of some sort along the South Bank, so we went to check that out. Saw a few things I would like to buy, but I didn't have any cash on me. We walked into the Southbank Centre so I could get cash, but the cash machine wouldn't allow me to withdraw anything. So I was left cash-less in a fair that only takes cash. We later learned a few stalls accept cards, but I wasn't about to buy only a few things. I'll have to go there tomorrow night or something. We'll see if Devon or Chloe or Vicky wants to join me. That should be fun.
Shelby knew of a Domino's Pizza place around Elephant and Castle, so I led them to the spot where it might have been. Except I didn't know exactly where this Domino's is, so Shelby led the way for the last leg. But we didn't see a Dominos. Hannah's legs were sore from her boots and Shelby couldn't feel her toes. We got something to drink from a small convenience shop before boarding the next tube station, which was a station away from Elephant and Castle. I've never been so far from the dorm in its own area before. Well, except maybe down Old Kent Road way back in early October. I should go back there one of these days.
There aren't enough days in the week, I swear.
Anyway, we went back to our respective dorms. I made a mini pizza in the kitchen and as I did so, Sarah popped up on Facebook chat to talk about apartments she's been looking at. The one she saw yesterday on Henry Street looked really nice, apparently. She really likes that one. Personally, I'm in love with the location. It's a block away from State Street, closer to the capitol than campus. Pretty awesome. The only downfall would be the price and the fact that there's no parking for Cory. So it may be crossed off the list. Meanwhile, Sarah is looking into the apartment we fell in love with by James Madison Park on Johnson. And we say we fell in love with it because it's huge and cheap. And because it's the same landlord we have now, I'm pretty sure all its facilities are in working order.
Tomorrow morning, I'm going to to edit the blog about Brussels so I can insert pictures and the like. Be a bit more specific with what I did and what happened and be less summary-like because I find that kind of boring, don't you? Then I go back and I start to re-think what I could have said and I'm like "Wow, you're missing a lot of things that are happening to you today." Gotta stop doing that.
My eyes hurt because they're open. That's the sure sign that I should be in bed.
