Life Is Such An Adventure: My Homework is the National Gallery (Day 5)

Today was the first official day of classes, which takes up a huge chunk of time. Our classes for the term are Humanities from the Italian Renaissance on, and a History of the British Isles class. I actually really enjoy them both, it was just a change not having all morning free. Forunately we only have 12 days of class. (And approximately 15 papers to go along with that).

Anyway, so after class we decided to go do our homework for the day... which was to go look at some paintings in the National Gallery. So pretty much the coolest homework ever. It's really neat because here most of the museums are completely free, so you just walk right in whenever you feel like looking at some famous artwork.

The National Gallery is located right on Trafalgar Square, which is an area of town that I had yet to discover. I love the atmosphere, it is just so fun. We walked out after doing our "homework" and there was a lady drawing flags on the sidewalk with the caption : "No politics, No religion, Just Flags" and you could take pictures, and the idea was you donate and put change on the flag of wherever you are from. It was so cool.

The next little while, we just walked up the street to see Big Ben really quickly before heading back to the Centre for dinner and such. I really love how close everything seems to be to everything else. It makes it so much fun to just walk around the city! (Plus that's another one of my classes, so double win!)

We had Ribs and Chips (that's French Fries for you Americans) with Cauliflower and it was so delicious (if really messy). I could probably start a blog purely on the food we get to eat here! Loving it all.

Our homework assignment for Wednesday is to read Julius Caesar, so we read part of it out loud, until we decided we needed to take a break for Gelato, because...well who doesn't need gelato?
