Post 2: Adventures

Well, Jenna and I finally did it. We got lost. We got off the Tube too early and wound up in a different part of the city. Luckily, we were able to get back on and figure it out quickly. The fact that it was snowing sure didn't help, and we had been on our feet for hours. This morning, we got up to go on the Harry Potter walking tour with our favorite tour guide from the bus tour. It was pretty cool to go to King's Cross Station and take a picture at Platform 9 and 3/4, but traveling in the snow for four hours was miserable. I did learn a lot about J. K. Rowling though, and I had fun answering the Harry Potter quiz questions she prepared for us.

Classes start tomorrow, and I'm a little nervous. I hope I like my professors and the way they run their class. Technically, I only have one class tomorrow, and it's at 1:30 so I'll have time to mentally prepare. I've walked past most of the buildings where I have class so I'm at least accustomed to the route.

This weekend has been way too fun. We went to "Cirque Du Soir" on Friday and the "Jalouse" club on Saturday. Both are really posh clubs - heels and dress required. Jenna and I were lucky enough to meet a girl who was here last semester so she knows a lot of the best places and people. On Friday night, we got in without a cover charge and didn't have to pay for drinks the whole night because we got in with a promoter. He sat us at his table and brought us a bottle of Grey Goose with a huge sparkler attached! This particular club is carnival-themed. There were people walking around in circus costumes - some were dressed as animals, a few were clowns, and there even was a snake handler with a live snake! There were lots of crazy colored lights and decorations, and they even had popcorn and mini pancake carts! Each bathroom stall had a gigantic 3-D clown face mounted on the wall above the toilet so when you turn around, it's staring you right in the face. Clowns are one of my biggest fears, but it all added to the theme. I really enjoyed the whole night.



After all the fun, I'm exhausted. I think it's time for a nap. Cheers!

P.S. This guy was really creepy but I put on my brave face...
