Day 5: June 13, 2013 - A Wall, Pizza Hut, and a Harlem Shake

Currently it's 11:24 and we are filming a Harlem Shake video for Cassidy's blog! Today was really chill. I woke up at 8:00 to go with Jena to get Shelby a card and a cupcake for her birthday but Jena was too tired so I woke up for nothing... So I just put pictures on Facebook and hung out. I got ready then just did homework in the living room and had some breakfast. I went to class. It was really fun again today because we talked about one of my favorite myths - Cupid and Psyche! And I don't know how it happened but we started talking about bird genitalia... I went upstairs and took a nap until my next class. We talked about marriage, sex, and jealousy. This was a class where we had a lot to talk about you know because it's about life and we can all really relate to it... I'm really hyper right now so sorry if this blog is all over the place. Anyway, after class, we got on the tube and went to Tower Hill station where as soon as we left the station, we turned the corner and the wall was right there. It's a wall that was built by the Romans in like 200AD or something like that and it survived the Plague and stuff. This wall was actually a big part of how the Plague stopped from spreading further. It was really cool. Nate took us all around the city to find other pieces of the wall. It was cool because people have built their buildings to just add onto the wall.

Super cool. I wish we didn't have to see so much of it though... like we walked around a lot and Nate said it would only take a few hours. We were really hungry too. He let us go and we all went to Pizza Hut! We wanted something American and familiar.

So it was Shelby's birthday right, so Sam said to the waiter: "So it's her birthday, I don't know if that means anything to you..." it was awesome, the waitress was like uh what? We tried their "free" salad - let's just say there is a reason it was free. Plus they claimed they had free refills on soda. Ya... we never got a refill. I shared this amazing cookie thing with Camille - it was a hot cookie with ice cream on it and chocolate sauce, so yummy! It took us forever to figure out how to pay the bill, we struggle ok? Jena, Camille, Cassidy, and I went to Top Shop (a ridiculously overpriced shop) then H&M to find me a towel which we did! Yahoo! We got on the tube but it turns out we got on the wrong tube so we had to switch, nice job Jena, you're the one that is supposed to know where you're going. We came home and found out that we were like twenty minutes late for the Jack the Ripper tour! Everyone went without us, we were very bummed! So I packed for the weekend trip and organized my wardrobe and stuff. Then Jena and I went upstairs and hung out with flat 19. They all got back from the tour so we all went down to 17 and sang to Shelby. Brandon sang a Josh Groban song for us. I'm not gonna lie, I wasn't expecting it to be that amazing! He sounds JUST LIKE Josh! It's insane, plus they look a ton alike! We then just all hung out in the kitchen/living room. We listened to music - I rapped Outta your Mind and the No Diggity from Pitch Perfect while Kasee crumped! The boys came down because none of us could sleep so we all just hung out in the kitchen and talked about relationships and all this random stuff. We got pretty deep, it was cool to spend time with everyone and get to know everyone better. We finally went to bed around 4:00 when the freaking sun was already coming out... Whatever.
