Random Stuff

Just some random things I did other than my main trips.
Took a class field trip to Kew Gardens... the Royal botanical gardens. it was FREEZING and the worst fieldtrip ever. but at least it was free! My prof just walked around, pointed at plants and talked about them. meanwhile, we couldn't hear and I didn't bring any gloves or anything so my fingers were about to fall off. Everyone was really frustrated by the end and half the people just sort of gave up. My prof said we were having a "minitest" in that class..and then when we were taking it he said it was open note! ARGHH
Went to visit the houses of parliament.. and we acutally got to sit in on some house of commons session. It was honestly quite boring! There was so much security.. they installed this like bullet proof screen between the visitors seats and the speakers.
Browsed a lot of the street markets which are close to me... brick lane, spitalfields, and petticoat lane. SO busy on sundays and nothing worth buying... but probably a good place to go if you need to get cheap luggage...
Somewhere in the middle of all of this my computer broke... and it didn't work for a two week period. Eventually I reformatted it and now its in good working order. I don't think I even had any viruses, i just turned my computer on one morning and it said I was missing a system file. wonderful! I 'm never getting a dell again. I say apple is the way to go!
