To start off my day my day I slept in a little bit, until about 10. I got up and got ready for the day. I headed down to the kitchen and made a piece of toast and ate some grapes with a glad of apple juice. I came up to my room and got my things. I headed to Victoria station where I took the tube up to Holloway Road station. I just wanted to check out the building I was going to have my classes in. The building is right across from the tube station so I didn't really want to just turn around so I walked past to building and didn't really know where I was going until I ran into the Emirates Stadium.

Poster at the stadium
The stadium that the Arsenal football team plays at. I saw that a few guys on the program had gotten a picture there but I didn't know the location. I noticed they had a store so I went in to see what merchandise they had. I was there for maybe 15 minutes and headed back out. I took some pictures, since Joe likes the team, and I was on my way back to the tube station. Of course I can always come back since it is literally a block away from my classes. I took the tube to Tottenham Court Road Station in search of Chipotle (this gets good). I went down Tottenham Court Road, the wrong way, and eventually just walked around the block. I ran into Oxford Street and headed towards Charring Cross Road. On Oxford Street one of the stores, World Sports, was having a huge sale, as in the place was closing so everything was on sale. I went in to look around and just see what they had. I would have liked to of gotten some tennis shoe type shoes but I did refrain and I walked out empty handed. I headed to Charring Cross and walked down that in search of food. I made it all the way to Leiceseter Square station and no Chipotle. :( I headed up some road looking on restaurants menus hoping for something to eat. Most of those were sit downs and I didn't want to sit there by myself waiting for food. I got close to Trafalgar Square and saw a Pret, which is a very popular place to get food to go or eat there. I ended up buying a chicken caesar salad on a baguette and a hot chocolate. The sandwich did have lettuce on, and for those of you who know me, I'm not a huge fan of lettuce on sandwiches. Not much lettuce though, and it was more like leaves, but I ate it and it was a very good sandwich. I am getting hungry just thinking about it and already want to get another one tomorrow. :s We'll see. I shouldn't but, yummmm. I then decided to take the tube back so I could write my blog for yesterday and get started on reading. I finished my blog, and well didn't end up reading until oh maybe six this evening. I did finish one chapter before I headed down to make supper. Tortellini again, and when I am not crazy busy I think I am going to finish my chicken up and my regular noodles. That will have to wait until Thursday at the earliest. After supper I came back and read another very long paragraph in the next chapter and then talked to Joe again. Now it is time for bed, for my early morning and long day. I've calculated I have about seven hours of class time and three hours total of traveling/eating time. Bring Wednesday on!
This weekend is going to be a more lonely one for me. Kiley is heading off to Wales on Friday and won't be back until Tuesday. Friday we have an optional trip to Greenwich that I am going to go on and the rest of the time I don't know what I'll do yet. Saturday I may go to Westminster Abbey, I need to get there. Maybe visit a museum one of the days. Since I'll be going to only part of the British Museum tomorrow maybe I can explore it more on Sunday. Or maybe Sunday will be my lazy day where I will watch free movies and sit around all day, then Monday I can go to the museum. Anyway, I have time to figure it out! I am excited for Greenwich though. Be jealous, it's not everyday you can stand in two hemispheres :D
Cheers
