Saturdays are definitely bum days. I literally didn't feel like doing anything all day! But despite that I still worked out and actually had a really good run. But afterwards I just made myself a salad and me and trilby watched soppy Nicholas sparks movies until two in the morning. Nothing wrong with having a bum day!

I woke up and worked out as always, it's easier to workout everyday when your in a routine. But I got my fastest time for my run which is a 2.5 mile course. Ill work my way up to more though. Bt I went to the London center early so that I could go to the writing center so I could get my essay proof read and it was an English teacher so obviously all his corrections were format related rather than content but it did help. Then for photography class we were going to the photographers museum but he wanted us to walk so that we could take photos on the way for our sketchbooks. I actually really enjoyed doing that I felt so artsy! But the museum itself sucked. We were so over photography by the time we got there. So we left, the teacher will never notice. When we got back we watched a movie and drank tea, I just wanted to relax. But afterwards we just made leftovers and then we found out there's a free movie at the gate cinema! It was called warm bodies and its showing at home too so I thought it would be good. But we ran to a drugstore and got candy and soda and then bought popcorn there. The cinema was so nice! There was beautiful pink and gold architectural ceilings and this big red comfy seats! The movie was so weird though it was scary, romantic, weird, and funny. Trilby and I called it a zom rom dram (zombie romantic comedy;)) but yeah it was cool though we had to join the slackers club to get a free ticket which just required us to give them our email and we found out the slackers club was for students who didn't want to homework so they went and saw a movie instead! Well good thing I don't have class tomorrow!

I hate Wednesdays! I have to wake up early for our 930 class which is until 1 and then I stay until 2 for my class until 530! For my first class we went to the royal academy for intro to British art. This wasn't as good as last times at the national gallery. We saw mostly landscapes which are so boring. But my journalism class was good! I don't even get bored in it! But when I got back we balsamic chicken and whole wheat pasta which was so good! I was very proud. But then I spent the rest of the night doing homework. I feel like I've been doing work nonstop for the past three days!

This morning I woke up and workout and then got ready for class now that I have class on Tuesdays! Ugh! But it was my first day at city university and thank god trilby and grace are in my class I probably would have gotten lost! But it was in a lecture hall called oakden and there are about 100 pele in there! Biggest class I've ever been in! But we went over what we will be covering throughout the term and most of it was really familiar from psych class with mr Corcoran in high school. Our grade for the class is literally made up of a test and a paper! Now that's a lot of pressure to do good! The class is also only an hour and fifty minutes with an hour clinic at the end which is like office hours where you can ask the teacher questions. There were actually a whole group of study abroad student which made us feel more comfortable since everyone else is British. This really hot kid sat in front of us and he was from Boston so we were talking to him for a little. After class me and trilby decided to go out to dinner. I'm over the whole cooking thing already. It really is a pain in the butt it's like we have to go grocery shopping like everyday! I'm running out of ideas and I don't feel like making it anymore! I really miss mommy making dinner for us! So we went to the this nice bar place called the arc and the food was alright. I didn't really like it. Or appetizer was burnt, my flatbread had way too much mayo, but we split this double chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream and that was delicious! I swear this is the last time we are splurging! But then we took the train home and did homework.

This morning I woke up and decided to go and get cleats. So I walked to whiteleys which is a huge mall and then went to the jd sports inside it. I found a pair for fifteen pounds but I bought turf shoes, and when I asked the captain she said I should get cleats so now I have to go back and exchange them. But now I don't even know if I can play because most of their games are on Wednesdays when I have class all day and now my city course got changed from Friday to Tuesdays when they practice! Ugh! But when I got back I worked out and took a shower ate some lunch and then did homework for the rest of the day. Finally started my ten page paper! We made this delicious Greek tuna salad for dinner and some rice but it really didn't fill us up at all. Later we were starving and decided to be spontaneous and splurge and go to this frozen yogurt place called yogland at like ten! It was soooo good especially since we barely get to eat that stuff! But I finished up my homework and went to bed!

Okay so today's big event was getting my hair cut! We planned all week to get it done today and I was finally going short! So we walked on bayswater road finding a haircut place. We remembered one from a while ago but then we accidentally passed it and found another one but it was 30 pounds so we went back and found the other one but it was this nasty place underneath of a souvenir shop and no one was there... So then we went back to the 30 pound place and decided to just get it done there. We actually originally stopped at this one place but I thought 29 pounds was too much and there was only one person in the shop and it was a man hairdresser and I did not want him to cut my hair... Which is funny because a man ended up cutting my hair at the other place. So we go in and get settled and this guy is asking me what I want so I show him the picture and he's like that's it? Ew I do not like it. And he was so rude! And he kept questioning me and then I was like what's the problem here? Are you not able to do it or something? And he's like no no we can do it. So then he passed me on to get my hair washed and before she started I got really nervous because this guy was so rude and I wanted to walk out but then she started and it was too late. There was no turning back now. It was definitely the best hair wash I've ever gotten. It literally took like twenty minutes! And it should since I was paying thirty pounds! But it ended up the guy I was talking to in the beginning (the rude one) was not cutting my hair but another man was. But I actually really liked this guy he was so nice and very professional. He took so much time and concentration to cut my hair and he had like two other workers observing him. I guess they were in training. But it was a good haircut. Of course I wasn't paying for a blow dry so it didn't look great when I walked out but I basically ran home so I could make it look the way I wanted and it looks so good! I'm so glad I finally saw what I look like with short hair! It looks so much clean and healthier and I feel more put together with it than having my raggity extensions in. So I'm glad it turned out the way it did. But after I was done playing with it I went to church. We just made cheese quesadillas for dinner and then I got to Skype Lauren, Sam and Stef, and stoner Ana Kim and Nina. So that was nice! Later me and trilby watched Madeline and drank tea. How English of us!

January 26 2013

I woke today and said it was going to be a good day and it really was! I went to the park and juggled with my soccer ball for awhile and then came back and me and trilby planned on running some errands today. So we went to boots pharmacy store and sainsburys for some groceries. It was so nice walking through town during the day. When we got back we tried making these yogurt covered strawberries but we used plain low fat yogurt and they turned out disgusting. But then I went for a really good run and normally I need an iPod but I didn't feel like using one today so I just enjoyed all my surroundings and I liked that so much better! But when I got back me and trilby worked out and then made leftovers of our grilled cheeseburger wraps. They were even better tonight. Afterwards we started getting ready and by nine Frankie got here and we were taking jäger bombs. Sooo good. But we were going to this club called proud in Camden and it was actually an old horse stable made into a club. It was kind of cool but the club sucked. Not to mention when we were about to switch trains the train we had to get on was closed! So then we had to somehow find the bus that goes to Camden and that took forever. Plus it started to rain! Bt the music at the club sucked and almost every guy there was flirting with every guy there?! There were So many gay guys we didn't even get hit on once! Except for the security guards who were so sexy. We actually met trilbys friend from high school there since she is also in London so that was nice. But we got lost again on the way home but finally managed to find our bus and make it back by 245.
