Ode to Mrs. Bond
2/25/2006 09:32:00 AM Today is her birthday. And the day of the renound Loup City Red Raider. So if any of yous guys home this weekend see her there, be sure to tell her and get her flustered. This week I went to a Raul Midon concert, he was utterly amazing once again. If you remember reading about the first time I saw him, you might remember that I said it was like a religious experience, and to keep in that same vein I'll just say that this time I was at home, attending a regular mass, and still finding myself amazed. Then I got back on the tube on the way home, and found myself surrounded with KC posters, tourbooks, and even a girl playing back the audio she had recorded, and I felt like a traitor, haha. It was like some kind of creepy dream, but I loved it. Oh well, she's too expensive in London, and I'm sure the show went well without me. But probably the biggest highlight for me the whole night was that I had to go to this concert on my own (for my music class we have to attend 2 concerts of our choice to include in our papers) and I think it was the first time I've ever gone anywhere in London completely on my own. I was so proud of myself, I got on the right train and everything, and got myself from the tube station to the venue without having to stop and ask anyone for directions or anything like that. So at least I'm finally finding myself capable of being self-reliant in London. Which is pretty cool, cause let's admit it, this city is freakin huge (I think the largest in the world population near 12 Million?)and can be pretty overwhelming. Also, you know you're starting to get used to living here when suddenly you find yourself walking down the left side of the stairs or hallway, naturally without haivng to consciously think about it, therefore leading to a significantly lower amount of bodies being smashed into you. Always a plus ;) I'm gonna be so backwards when I get home...but time for confusion later. The time for hurrying through homework to go ice skating tonight, is now. The other day Michelle and I went wandering around the city looking for Canada Square (what we thought was a little park where this ice skating rink is) and found it instead in the middle of all these skyscrapers in this fricken business district which was extremely reminiscent of Chicago. Of course that may have also been helped by the fact that the wind was killer yesterday. Oh yes, this morning I woke up with wind-burn. How lovely. Basically though we decided it would be better to go back tonight, so we wandered around Canary Warf and then walked the river Thames back to Blackfriars Bridge, and then finally took the tube from Waterloo back to Regent's. It was adventurous. We even discovered an underground MALL!! I didn't think they even had malls over here. I guess they just hid them from tourists so we all get stuck crowding eachother at the markets. It was amazing so we might go back to that later sometime. Okay, so enough procrastinating, I'm gonna do some work. |
