The pizza delivery mopeds make me laugh :) 
Wednesday, October 22nd
Today started off with another session of history class. The second part of the class was dedicated to another walk around town, this time to Soho. We got to explore several parts of the burrough, but the highlight was the church, All Saints Margaret. The interior had a beautiful Byzantine atmosphere, and organ pipes filled both walls on either side of the high altar. I decided I am definitely going to mass here one morning because I am told he music is incredible.
On the way back, Cody, Rachael and myself found an awesome store with really cheap clothing. I was pretty excited because I found a pair of jeans that fit my pretty well for only 5 GBP!! I’ve been needing to get another pair because I ripped a hole in my favorite ones, and I definitely did not want to wait an hour in Primark (the big deal shopping place here) to get another pair. Mission accomplished.
I got lunch and went back to my room absolutely exhausted while Cody and Rachael went to their afternoon class. I don’t’ know why I am still so tired. I even got sleep last night. I worked on some things in my room, and ordered tickets to a ballet: Beauty and the Beast, for next Wednesday. I’ve never seen a ballet before, so this will be pretty cool.
I also took a little bit of time to talk to my dad regarding the election. I spent a long time today researching the candidates more, and I really should have put in much more work and followed the events up until this point, but have been so busy with working this summer and this trip. I asked him some questions and addressed my concerns with Sarah Palin- who the heck is she, what experience does she really have, and is she only in the race because she is a woman and that will even out the affirmative action on the ballot? We talked for a little bit, and he helped me clear out a few things, but then he had to go back to work. He always does a good job of letting me know some things that I may have not figured out on my own, but making sure I always have both sides of the issue without trying to influence me upon his views. I really appreciate that.
When Cody and Rachael got done with class, Rachael and I went to the post office to mail our absentee ballots and some other things I needed to send out. It was kind of expensive, but I wanted to send some postcards out to friends and family, so it was worth it. Stopped at a grocery store on the way home, ate dinner, and came back to my room for the rest of the night to upload some pictures on facebook and get some other work done.
