Fabric nightclub - amazing!
- Girls at Ice Bar
Friday, we slept in, worked on our schoolwork & shopped. A group of us wanted to do last-minute sightseeing: inside St. Paul’s, Abbey Road, etc. Alicia, Curtis & I took the Tube and walked to Abbey Road which only took about 10 min. The sun had set in that time & there was plenty of traffic but that didn’t stop us from taking the appropriate pictures. I brought a Sharpie so we all signed the wall. Saturday night, a big group of us bought tickets to Fabric nightclub that is known as one of the best clubs in London. It definitely lived up to all the hype. Fabric is huge, fully packed & has great music. Typical Americans, we invited ourselves up on the stage and Alicia made friends with a VIP corner celebrating a birthday. Awesome night, and although a tab bit expensive, I wish we didn’t wait all term to come here! Snow fell on our way home.
JMU didn’t allow us to intern during our exam week so this was my first Monday without interning at RBI. I spent most of the day getting schoolwork done. Erika, Alicia & Hannah W. went to Hyde Park to celebrate birthdays and enjoy the winter carnival! A few of us stopped in at Friend at Hand for a bit before we worked on our Media & Society group project. Our assignment is to present “A Letter to America” discussing the topics of media, society & current events. We absolutely goofed off & Hannah B. recorded it so look for that video on Facebook soon. Toooo funny. I also turned in my paper where I talked about the impact of the royal family on British media & society.
Katy & I went to Covent Garden to meet up with fellow Alpha Phi Caroline. It was good to hang out with her again, only wish I spent more time with her. With the “end” of studying abroad in sight, I am ready to go home but super sad. I think I could definitely do a year-long program like Caroline did at Oxford. I am as ecstatic to be returning to the States in a few weeks as I will be heartbroken to leave London.
Wednesday, I didn’t have to be anywhere! I printed out my history final papers for Judy to pick up. We had our last intern meeting/class last week (Charlotte brought treats & we discussed the biggest differences between US & UK work environments) but Bob & Charlotte took the student leaders: social director me and RA’s Ashley & Amy out to Mildred’s, a funky vegetarian place in Soho where we planned the banquet for Friday night. Last house meeting at 99 Great Russell St (classes building) we went over last event & move-out instructions. After, we went to Ice Bar right off Piccadilly Circus. A very touristy thing to do but definitely something on my London Bucket List. They give you enormous blue coats & gloves to enter the 23 degF room where everything is made of ice. The bar, the “couches” and chairs (with pillows), walls, etc all made of ice & pretty lights! Even the glasses your drinks come in are made of ice – which Alicia nibbled on after licking the bar surface. Very cool night!
I just started my last album here for London
