Westminster Cathedral

So that's where I went today. NOT Westminster Abbey, in case you were thinking that. We had mass at noon, and then a tour afterwards, set up by a priest there who previously lived at Notre Dame. He took us up a huge tower, and then he let us climb around on the roof of the Cathedral, on top of the domes in the ceiling. It was really fun, and surprisingly dangerous. Pictures to come soon.

Made hamburgers for dinner tonight. The English don't have hamburger buns. I hate them sometimes.

I decided that I would really like to go to Speaker's Corner in Hyde Park one Sunday, and just rant. To those who don't know, this is a place where people come on Sundays, get on their soapboxes, and start yelling about whatever they want. Most are religious, i.e. "Islam is your mother!" or "I am an angel from God!" My rant would go something like this:

HOLY CRAP! I have SO MUCH HOMEWORK TO DO THIS WEEK! Seriously guys, jeez! Two papers and a rewrite and a bunch of frickin' reading to do as well! Man! And also, stuff here is EXPENSIVE! Do you know what the exchange rate is between the pound and dollar? I don't, but I'm sure it's not good! No sir! But hey, it's a nice city. And another thing: who still actually pretends not to know the difference between Coke and Diet Coke? Liars, that's who. Give me a break, right? (awkward shuffling in place for a while, on my box) So I saw that new Julia Roberts movie. I thought it was alright. (More shuffling...)

It goes on from there for another few hours or so.

I've got some pictures from my trip to Oxford and Westminster. I'll put them up at some point in the future, so everybody, STOP EMAILING ME FOR THEM.

I'll leave you to decide whether or not I was being sarcastic in that previous sentence.

Leave.
