Snowball fight around Primrose Hill
London takes Antwerp out
My second to last week in London has been flying by 
Monday, my last full day at RBI. Drew & I went over my term evaluation after Cameron, Drew, Kylie & I went out to a long lunch. I’ve learned so much about the sports industry – as well as the real estate and fine art fields. What an interesting internship! That night, JMU took us to the West End to see “Oliver!” Such a great production, adorable authentic English children, wonderful music & funny dialogue with some current tie-ins. Great show!! I’ve really appreciated all of the cultural events JMU has paid for us to go on, tours, concerts, operas (well not that opera), plays & movies. Things that we all know we should do but probably wouldn’t have.
Tuesday, for our last Media & Society class with Moe, we worked on our group presentations. My group is: Ali, Chad, Jamie, Jen & Kelsey… this should be good haha. No class outing as we’re wrapping up our semester, but typical to his nature, Moe did encourage us to pay attention to (or mildly participate) in the student protests (see earlier post). I really enjoyed Wednesday’s history outing to the Museum of London (right in the City). We got to see the still-standing ancient London Wall, learned about the 1666 Great Fire of London, the 1960s exhibit and focused on the exhibit that had (doctored) photographs of what could potentially happen to London if we don’t become more environmentally-conscious. On to my last time at RBI! It was sad saying bye to Cameron, Drew & Kylie but I promised them that I would bring my parents next week so hopefully that wasn’t my last time there.
At our house meeting, we got our last meal-money, etc. We loved that FSU had a (fake) Christmas tree right in the lobby all decorated – very festive. Thursday morning, for our last CBD outing, we went to the Museum of Everything in Primrose Hill. On the way there, we had a snowball fight, to the dismay of the locals, and saw another work by Banksy! I wasn’t blown away by the Museum of Everything – it reminded me of the show “Hoarders” and made me wonder why people collect old circus equipment & that many scary dolls, etc. In the afternoon, for our last CPCD class, Dennis took us to the Museum of London (where I had just been) but had us focus specifically on the Victorian exhibit.
The JMU Antwerp (business) program finished last week so most of them arrived in London Wednesday night. I (being a senior & since the Antwerp program is tailored for juniors only) didn’t think I would know anyone so I resigned myself to getting ahead on my final papers and projects. Until Ali told me that my sorority sister Nichole was here (for some reason I thought she was in the Florence program) so I bounded downstairs and was quickly convinced to take the Antwerp kids out on the town. We took them to a very London spot – a dubstep club called The Den just a few blocks from our flat. Pretty fun night & I loved seeing another sister/ friend from home!
