Diving In

On Wednesday afternoon, my BLC class went to the Museum of London. It was super interesting. It was like having a history class in one day to cover 2000 years of history. I learned about the Roman influence, the fashion of different periods, the creation of the underground, the Black Plague, the Great Fire of 1666 and so much more. i was there for about 2 1/2 hours. I think most kids left after about an hour!
Wednesday night we went to a club/bar in Leicester Square called Verve. Aubrey, Ashley, Ashley, Whitney, Sahara, Erin, Allie and I went. It was really fun. The club played American 80s music upstairs and downstairs it played new American music. It was fun. but since we left after midnight, the Tube was closed, so we took a bus. It was my first time on the bus and it wasnt as scary as i anticipated.
Yesterday, i started my internship at NBC news. It was really exciting. The people all seem really nice and have such extensive experience. There are about 8 other interns. Most are from the US but 2 are from England. Since they are my age, I'm pretty excited.
Last night I started researching trips that I want to take around Europe. As PJ is definitely coming to see me, we are planning to go to Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam. Hopefully it will be really fun without burnign a hole in our pockets.
Today, a few of my roomies and i are going to venture out of central london and go to outer London to see what there is to see. Hoepfully something's out there!
Side note: I've decided that london is similar to Chicago. London obviously is richer in history and has more impressive architechture. But when it comes to diversity, it is very similar to Chi-town. I hear other languages than English being spoken quite alot. And it seems that many retail workers have foreign accents. Interesting. Also in London's favor is that it has castles. Chicago can't even touch that!
