Oy, its been a really long time...
Starting with the weekend of the 19th,
Since the weather was so horrible we decided to go to some museums for the day. We went over to south kensington, and first went to the National History Museum. It was actually really entertaining even if it was full of little kids. I especially enjoyed the "human bio" section hahaha The main attraction there is the dinosaur exhibit.. which was kind of lame because I dont even think all of the dinosaurs were real fossils. There was this large animated T-rex that seemed to enchant a lot of people.
After that, we went to the Victoria and Albert museum. It had a lot of RANDOM stuff from paintings to sculptures to parts of random buildings. But I really enjoyed this "plaster room" that had these effigies where kings were buried, parts of old cathedrals, and other random buildings. They also had a Korean exhibit.. but it was just VASES and bronzework, nothing I hadn't seen before.
After all of that, we were pretty tired, so we just came back to our flat, went out to dinner and went out for a drink near Brick Lane / Spitalfields.
Sunday I had to do a lab write up (Which i got an A- in... apparently in the British grading system a "B" is equivalent to an American "A". go figure. so whatever, i'm pretty happy with that and makes me feel like pacific actually taught me how to be an adequate "biologist" heh) Honestly, this doesn't feel like school because I hardly go to class! I did some calculations, and i enjoy how I can get straight C's (which im pretty sure isn't possible) and still graduage magna cum laude, and not be rejected from ucsf =)
