Today we had class in the morning and I woke up a little bit late so I ended up just braiding my hair. In Humanities class we talked about idealistic nature pictures versus more realistic nature pictures and about the novel To the Lighthouse which I finally finished reading today. In art class we talked for a bit about the opera La Boheme that we went to see and then we worked on sketching for a bit. After class I went and got a scrumptious little orange and chocolate cake from the nearby bakery and then I went to the National Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery to get a couple assignments done which involved some sketching. I was looking at a painting by Cezanne and sketching in when I realized that even though I was doing homework what I am doing was pretty awesome. I mean artists all over the world dream of looking at artwork in real life from artists like Cezanne and Van Gogh and there I was enjoying that wonderful opportunity. I am really lucky to be here and learning all that I am. This is probably a once in a lifetime opportunity for me and I am so glad that I had the chance to take it. After the galleries we went back and ate dinner which was hamburgers and some brazilian meat which was pretty good. After dinner I went running with some friends in hyde park and we helped another tourist from some where else in Europe find speaker's corner. It is such a wonderful opportunity to be here and I think I am starting to take that for granted as I am getting used to just walking around the streets of London and taking the tube every day. I am so grateful to be here and I hope to take as much advantage of it as possible! TTFN!
