One month down...

This week flew by. I worked M/T/TH/F from 9-4. On Friday I got to go out on a shoot for the Today Show. NBC had an interview with fashion designer Oswald Boateng, who has dressed the likes of Will Smith and Jamie Fox for the Oscars. He was super chill and a bit silly. I learned alot from the two staff guys I went with and overall it was a great experience.
On Wednesday, my class went to Dover Castle and Canterbury Cathedral. This castle was plain mean looking, which was the point of it. It was a defensive castle built in the 1100s I believe, and was used even in WWII. It is one of the two castles that have always been under English rule. The other is Windsor. Canterbury Cathedral was plain goregeous. It is the head church of the Church of England. Yes, even more important than Westminster Abbey. It was another long day, but definitely a good trip.
My trip to Paris, Brussels, and Amsterdam with PJ is officially booked...what a relief! I think we did the best we could regarding prices and it should be a really fun time.
Well, I've been here a month. I can't believe it. One whole month. Part of me feels like a got here yesterday, and part of me feels like I've been here forever. It's odd. I want time to sloooow doooown sooo thaaaat I haaave moooore tiiiiime heeeeere. I'm headed to Wales on Friday with my roomies. It will be my first trip out of London without BLC. I still don't particularly feel like a Londoner, but as I've learned, London is soo diverse. Londoners, and Brits at large, don't fit into a cookie cutter or a jello mold, but rather a crock pot with beef, chicken, salmon and ham stew. Good analogy, I know. Thanks.
Side note: People here do not walk on a particular side of the sidewalk. On the whole, in the US, you walk on the right side. Here however, they just walk straight. It's the one thing I don't like about London. I have to dodge shopping bags, duck away from umbrellas and shuffle around cigarettes. It's terribly stupid!
