Rainy London

So yesterday (Friday) was the first day it rained a lot here... it rained pretty much all day! That day I went on the London duck tours with the Economics department. It was really fun, minus the rain! The tour took us all around London and then we went into the Thames and the bus turned into a boat. Afterwards, me and a few other Econ majors went to Buckingham Palace, and unfortunately we missed the last tour by 15 minutes. It was not only the last tour of the day, but the last tour until July! I took some pictures anyway, and we walked around St. James's Park which was really nice, even in the rain!

Today I went to Camden Market with my friends Kate and Radhika, and it was really cool. You can buy some really cheap clothes there, so I got a dress (had to).

I finally have my classes sorted, or at least I think I do. I'm taking Environmental Economics, Economics of Labour, European Macroeconomics, and Europe in the Late Middle Ages, 1000-1500. Classes start on Monday, finally--it's amazing that I haven't done schoolwork since early May.

Fresher's week has pretty much left me exhausted (I have been out every night), but tonight is the last night to really go out and have a good time before classes start. It has been great having this week to be able to explore London without having to worry about getting any work done. I have also been walking around so much that I have blisters all over my feet (and some of those blisters are from FLATS!)--at least I'm getting my exercise.

Check out my photo page for new photos of the sites from the duck tours as well as Buckingham Palace and St. James Park, also some random photos of friends :)
