Classes, First Day of Work, Club life, and a walk along the Thames

So I've been up to a lot over the last few days, but I gotta take it all for its worth!

Classes:
Those have started off well, I am taking Twentieth Century British Literature which I was forced into because they couldn't accommodate the course I had originally picked. But I actually really enjoy it. Reading James Joyce "A Portrait of a Young Man" for next week and the Professor is really cool. She gave us a 15 minute break to go get coffee as the class runs for 3 hrs. But she and I were the only ones who actually wanted Starbucks, so we chatted about life together as we walked over. The other two courses I have on Thursday "London: The Growth of the Modern World City" and "Modern Britain Since 1945" both of which are pretty good. The "London: The Growth of the Modern World City"course takes us on little field trips every other week to see how London has developed which is far better than sitting in a classroom for 3 hours.

First Day of Work:
Started off pretty well, got my suit on and then headed off to the 168 Bus toward West Norwood which was so easy. I grab the bus from South Hampton Row and take it to Elephant and Castle, which is awesome every morning I get to see Big Ben, Parliament and the London Eye at sunrise from the top of a double decker bus. Lets just say that bus ride would make Hal say "I LOVE LIFE" continuously. Pictures to follow on this. So I got to work and my initial tasks were some photo copying of a MASSIVE case bundle that someone needed for an Adoption case that someone had just finished. I kid you not this was like 350 pages.

Next was more photo copying but this one had a TWIST, I had to go through evidence on different cases Jacqui WHERE ARE YOU!  Finally, I began organizing yet another MASSIVE case bundle.  But otherwise it was a good day, I then hopped my bus at about 5pm after the sun went down and got to see Big Ben, Parliament, and the eye all lit up again. I could again hear Hal in my ear telling me how much she loved life. So I slapped her. ;) 



Walking along the Thames at Dusk:
This evening we walked down to Mansion Hill Tube Station which was fun, it was about a 35 minute walk through the deserted streets of the Financial District, of course come Monday that place will be filled to the brim with at least 350,000 people in suits off to work. But we met our guide and the tour began, we walked down to the Millennium Bridge, saw the Tower Bridge, of course the eye and everything again. The guide then took us to a pub where he told us to get a pint of some good ale. David and I saw Bombardier and HAD to get it for Bomba, it was without question. Afterward we carried on down through the Tate Modern and into the Borough Market where we saw tons of people selling food from cheeses, to fruits to sausages. All kinds of stuff that people could buy. I guess some scenes from harry potter were filmed there too. Afterward we hopped the Tube and went back to our flat to make some delicious frozen pizza which cost me maybe £1.50. Sweet life. Off to wander the streets of  London tonight and relax in some pubs across the city. Ta for now!
