The Jenna Walking Tour

SO ... I have six papers due, but I just couldn't sit down and do them. Mid class my Professor said he was ill and needed to go home and cancelled his classes for the day. I had a 3 hour class with him later
in the day, so I suddenly had some extra time. I decided since class was cancelled I should be productive. Still not ready to do my papers, I decided to go for a walk and when I was tired, I'd be ready to do my paper. Well four hours later.... here I am about to start my paper.

I took the tube to Piccadilly Circus and walked up to Leister Square where there was a GIANT screen of Spiderman 3 stuff in the middle of the square and tones of people. I didn't really know what was going on so I made a quick turn and walked down China Town and then up to Soho. I made a loop and walked all the way to Trafalgar Square where there was another GIANT screen, and even better an GINORMOUS balloon of a FOOT!!! They were celebrating St. George's day (which I only knew about because it was the theme of the minister's sermon last night at Westminster Abby) They were doing events all day, and at 7pm the cast of Monty Python's Spamalot! is going to lead the city in trying to break the world record for the largest coconut band ever. Crazy stuff here in London. What a holiday! Yesterday, we took the bus home from here, so I tried to walk the path of the bus, but then I saw a sign for St. James Park and decided I'd rather walk through another park then start schoolwork. So I wondered through the gates and around the park, which brought me to Buckingham Palace. I wondered around the other side of the park and ended up at St. Jame's Palace. I was kinnda unsure of where I was so I walked back toward Piccadilly and found a sign for Regent's Street. When I got to Regent's Street I spotted Hanley's, the biggest, coolest Toy store EVER!!!! They had EVERYTHING in there. So of course I was in there for a while playing with all the toy. Everyone that worked there were on rolly shoes too. I wanted to be them so bad! I dragged myself away after a while and finally foundOxford street (which is where I usually walk to for a nice stroll) so I was getting closer. I stumbled upon Self Ridges which is like another Harrod's (a giant, incredible department stores that are just straightnuts). After I admired the London fashion, I went down a couple different side streets and found Baker street (which is the street I live off of) and THIS was the only time I had to pull out the map because I had made so many turns that I wasn't sure which way the school was. But I made it ! All by myself ! It was crazy... and it was raining, but that's okay.

Wed, Adina and I are trying to find the Tower of London again to see the Crowned Jewels, and then Dana and I are going to see BILLY ELLIOT the musical. Thursday my class is going to the Contemporary Art Museum and then Courtney and I are going to the theatre to wait on standby for Wicked Tickets (I'm currently reading the book). Friday, I am going to try and take the train to Oxford University. Saturday, We are all going on the London Eye and walking along the Thames. Sunday, I am going to Speakers Corner and then walked through Hyde Park to see the the V and A museum, Tate Britain, British Museum,Science museum, and the National History museum. Monday I all my exams and papers are due. Tuesday I'm going to the Camden markets. Wed. I pack, and Thursday...
ILL BE HOME!!!!!!!

So I'm not quite done yet.

Love you,

Jenna
