V&A Museum, I could buy the rest of my jewelry from there :)

Wednesday is the same old story, pretty much.  I got up for the day around 8:00, got ready and made myself some toast; I also made myself a pb&jam for my supper.  I left after 9:00 this time since last time I still go there early.  Well, I again got there about 15 minutes early.  Which isn't too bad, I like being able to find a seat.  People do come into class late here, no one makes a fuss about it though, not like in the states.  I hadn't finished the book, which didn't really matter.  Don't worry though, I will still finish it.  I'm almost done, I might as well finish it.  There is another book that we have to read for next Wednesday.  It is about 170 pages but a little bigger print.  Hopefully it is easier to read, we'll see about that.  Crazy American authors writing stories that don't make sense.  Give me a British author, just to read, and I'll be fine.  For any author I don't like reading to interpret, which that is what I am doing.  After class I headed back to VH.  I took a different way back.  I took the Piccadilly line straight to South Kensington and then took the Circle/District line to St. James' Station.  I think it took a bit longer.  I made a peanut butter sandwich for lunch, and sat around for a little bit.  I left with Carissa around 1:30 to head to the Victoria and Albert museum.  We had a little mix up when we got there.  We were supposed to meet the teacher at the tube station but we went into the museum, where it says we should meet on the paper.  I believe she might have told us last week to meet at the tube station, since Carissa wrote it on her paper.  Oh well, we were found and class began.  Not on time, but I'm ok with that, except for standing around so long.  When we all got together we went to the Renaissance period of the museum.  We saw amazing ivory carvings and other beautiful statues and even a giant hunting tapestry.  It was huge!  :o)  We finished at a well and it was only just 4:00.  I love not having to be at that class for the full three hours.  And where my post title comes from, we walked through the gift shop of the museum and there are cases of jewelry!  Amazing jewelry; I don't know how much it costs and frankly I don't want to know right now, so I just admired it coming and going.  I am excited to see the rest of the museum, they have a ton of clothes from years past and people have said this is a really nice museum.  I will need to check out the rest of it very soon.
  I headed straight to LMU, I again went to the dining area and ate my peanut butter and strawberry jam sandwich.  Two pb sandwiches in a day is going to start to be too much.  I should invest in some lunch meat!  I read some more in The Crying of Lot 49, getting closer to being done :)  I headed to class where I read some more until the teacher came in.  Tonight we learned about the economy and employment of Victorian London.  The east end was in really bad shape with most of the poverty being in that area.  You only went to that area if you worked or lived there, and most of the people who lived and worked there were poor.  The middle/upper class never went there.  Another interesting class.  We were done around 8:00 and I headed back to VH; where I spent the rest of the evening catching up with my friends and family and relaxed.  I was tired during the day and during classes but once I got back at night I wasn't that tired.  Not good for someone who's been up and about all day.  Thursday should be better.  Not as much to do!  Then my 5 day "weekend" starts :)  Cheers
