since our oven door has been fixed and proves to be in workin order despite that the door refuses to close now. saturday we all (including parents) went on the day trip to greenwich, the center of world for prime meridian and time. however, everything there was educational and made our heads hurt. so we took a break to the pubs and paid for overpriced fish and chips and rings that later broke. however, there is a hill there called black heath which is where thousands of english men and women were buried after they fell ill to the black plague. it was also where the first game of rugby was played and the first place outside of scotland that golf was played. outside of the sports news it has the most spectactular view of london.

center of the world, our feet on the prime meridian

furball behind bars

sunday was my parents last day in london so we took a trip to HARROD's best department store ever and should be nominated for eighth wonder of the world. it was fun looking at the fossilized dinosaur nests, and while the anitques were a drag someone tried to steal a chair and i got to see him taken down. we checked out their pet world, where i almost bought a rat but i thought anneliese might kill me if i brought that home. by far the coolest was the food rooms, where they have every edible item in the universe for sale, things such as bananas, apples, bread, and sugar. but then caviar for $300 and $8 ice cream scoops. my parents and i went to dinner afterwards where the waitress tricked us into buying $6 bread while we were under the impression it was free. but i did drink my first alcoholic drink in the presence of my parents.

Gates to Hyde Park

back to the apartment which some truffles from harrods in tow. which later on roberto accidently threw on the floor. but early to bed for the next day was the first day of classes. it was hard saying goodbye to my parents i miss them a lot and my skype is not working at all so i can't even talk to them, but i have made a lot of friends here. our building is similiar to a dorm and a lot of us hang out together a lot. but london is amazing, cafes and crazy fashionable people everywhere. and next weekend we are all going to scotland. so living and studying here won't be too bad, eh?
