After a shopping excursion on High Street Kensington, I decided to head over to Oxford Circus to visit the TopShop Flagship store. I was on the platform of the District Line heading Eastbound toward Notting Hill Gate to transfer to the Central Line ending at Oxford Circus. Two women came up to me and asked how to get to the Notting Hill station. I felt proud to give them exact directions! They got lost and had headed westbound on the District Line.
To really get to know the Tube Station, you have got to travel on your own. Most times when I am with a group, I usually end up following someone through the massive crowds. Now that I have done some solo excursions around the city, my knowledge of the Tube has greatly improved!
Our FIE group went to see Blood Brothers. I wasn't a big fan. I like musicals that are more upbeat and have catchy songs. It was a dark subject. Guess my next musical should be Legally Blond.
Casey, Jordan, Roxanne and I have decided we are traveling to Spain for spring break. After about three hours of researching flights and trains we finally figured out our route: Fly to Santander from London, Take the train to Madrid and then to Barcelona and finally head to back to London from Barcelona. Now all we have to do is plan out each of our days! I went to study abroad in Santander the summer before I went to LMU so I am very excited to show my friends around the city.
Class are going okay. Three hours of lecture is tough to get used too. Next week for my British Life and Business class, we are taking a field trip to Harrod's and Bond Street. We are taking three different field trips to get more exposure to the great city we are studying in!
Tomorrow my plans are to hit up the Brick Lane Sunday Market. Hopefully I can find some cool items!
