Day five. Up before the birds.

Day FIVE. Up before the birds this morning, and off to catch the tube before much of Harrow even thought if getting out of bed. Got to school early, and was dressed and the third one in class. It was a lovely day of Health and Safety classes...for six hours. I'll spare you the details and just pray that I passed my first exam of the course. I should have spent my lunch reading the book, but I was hungry so sill me for not reading up. I have to get 20/30 right to pass. After that school was dismissed. I hoped to do something fun afterwards, but getting up so early and the fact that I am always sweating everywhere I go...even at 630am puts a damper on bring adventures. Where would you like me to go for you?? Leave a comment on a cool London place. I was in kings cross today wishing I remembered anything about Harry Potter to find his platform he leaves for school on. Don't worry I found it in my tourist book that's at my flat.... I leave it there to not look like a tourist :) On the way home I stopped by the shopping center/mall by my place just to do something....I was excited to see a cookie shop with cookies! I decided to treat myself to two cookies for taking my first exam....and I need to find a new cookie shop. :) can't bake at this house because the landlady/roommate is gluten intolerant, so baking at home will have to wait for the next house....even though I will be baking plenty at school I know. Since today wasn't that exciting Ill leave you with two things I failed to tell about yesterday. One. When they brought us up to the room for orientation, they had a tray of pastries to eat. I am not ashamed to say I are three. I didn't have time to eat breakfast before I left so eating the buttery layers of chocolate croissants was certainly deserved. Two. Have you ever heard the trick for taking a good picture of yourself is to first make a silly face, and try you will smile more naturally? Well before I got here they asked for a photo of me. I had no idea what the picture was for, I took a silly shot, and then a couple regular shots before sending one off in an email. I should have paid more attention to the picture number I sent because that is my badge picture. The one I wear on my uniform everyday. And they didn't get the normal serious picture I thought I had sent, nope they got my silly one. It's I between a fish face and a Zoolander modeling pose. Pretty ridiculous. Pretty hilarious that's the pic they got and did not ask me to send another one. I smile and laugh inside every time I look at it. And with that.....goodnight.

  2. bwahahahahaha! So funny about the picture! And I've never been to London, so no ideas on where to go! Except for Diagon Alley and platform 9 3/4 at Kings Cross. Gringotts? I don't know. Find all the good places and take me there when I come visit!
