Yes, there are only eleven students in my class. But that just means that the teachers have more time to explain to every one of us, so I can't say I'm unhappy about it.

London, baby!

Last weekend I went to London to meet my girlfriend. She flew in from Norway and I took the train from York. Luckily, we both had some days off, so we made it a loooong weekend, from Thursday to Tuesday. Excellent!

Staying in Notting Hill, in a not very classy Bed & Breakfast, was perfect in consideration of location and exhibits. Despite the bed on wheels and breakfast consisting of only toast and boiled eggs, it was quite good. Kensington Gardens was our next door neighbour, and of course our first destination. We also covered famous areas and attractions like Hyde Park, Parliament, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, London Eye, Tower Bridge, Tower of London, Trafalgar Square, British Museum, Covent Garden and St Paul's Cathedral. But the area we spent most time in was in and around Leicester Square, with Chinatown, cinemas and theatre. We went to the movies three times, but the definite highlight (except the part that my girlfriend was there with me) has to be Avenue Q. What a wonderful theatre/musical, with exceptional puppeteering and incredible singing. Recommended to everyone!

Now I'm back in York, studying my a** off, trying to make up for lost time. Well, it wasn't lost, exactly, I just spent it on something much more fun. Thank you, Karina, for a wonderful weekend. And to the rest of you, wish me luck on the upcoming essay writing. Phew, that's going to be exhausting. Until next time, good night, and enjoy the photos!
