If you are really determined...

Back to classes today. We watched a great movie in Comedy, called "Carry-on: down the Khyber." It was absolutely hilarious. This one was in color, and was about the British army occupying Indian territory. It was crude and brash but absolutely wonderful. It is a great class.

For art and architecture, we had a field trip to West Minster Abbey. It is absolutely beautiful! We weren't allowed to take pictures inside, but the outside is absolutely beautiful. I never realized just how big it is- it is massive. The inside is marble, and highly decorated and gilded. It is mind blowing to think that people built it from the ground up, without the technology that we have now, and put so much detail into it. I learned that there are actually three sections of the church and the decoration changes as the buildings do, because it took so long to finish it that styles of buildings changed.

After class, Lauren, Adam and I discovered that the Script, one of my favorite bands, was playing a huge concert two Tube stops down. We decided it was worth a shot to go down and see if anyone was scalping tickets- we had nothing to lose. So down we went, walked around for about 30 seconds, found a man with tickets, talked him down to 30 pounds and BAM. Script concert for us:) It was an incredible concert, quite possibly my favorite concert by far. They are from Ireland, and I could listen to them talk forever. I may or may not be in love right now...

Well I am off to bed Cheers!
