No, I'm not dead

Reporting to you all, alive and well, contrary to popular belief. There isn't much to stay about life since we got back from our fun-packed trip to Cornwall. I had two papers due at the beginning of this week, so that was the majority of this past weekend. I went to go see Spamalot for a second time. I was going to go to Scotland this weekend, but we didn't get the right bus tickets in time and so just decided to go another time. Realizing that it takes forever to book tickets for anything, my friend Jamie, my roomate Nida, and I spent pretty much all of Thursday afternoon and evening booking our tickets and hostels for our break during 7th week. We are going to Barcelona, flying to Rome, taking a train to Venice for a day and returning to Rome, flying to Paris, and then flying back to London. We'll spend 3 nights in each place. We're really excited about it, but also kind of worried because we went with the cheapest things available, so the airports are far from cities and hostels aren't going to be the best. Apparently the hostel in Paris that we booked is in the super-sketch red light district, so we'll be looking for another one there. We've been sampling the nightlife here in London, and found the pub that all the University of London students go to, called the Court, which is really good and right off the Warren St. tube stop, so its easy to find. We went to this trendy bar that just opened, which I can't remember the name of, and two clubs, the SoHo Lounge and last night, Bar Rhumba. We were able to get the girls in for free at the SoHo Lounge, but we had to pay an 8 pound cover at Bar Rhumba. It was hiphop night, and its just really funny that most of the music they play in these places is American, and everyone sings along. They also play really old stuff just as much as today's music, which I like for nostalgic purposes if nothing else. Tonight we are going to see another movie, History Boys, which is a British comedy.
