This was supposed to be my "homework weekend," since many things are going to be due soon and I will have little time to do them. Yet Sunday night has rolled around, and I'm sure every college student can identify w/ the "shoulda, woulda, coulda, but didn't and now I have a fun Sunday night ahead of me" position I find myself in. I guess my art and developmental psych papers are "done enough," and a few other things got checked off the list, but making excuses is much easier when "I'm in London - when else can I do this?" skips into your head whenever anything exciting comes up.
So, today I went to Harrods - a ridiculously overpriced department store - with Anja and her parents. We wandered around the food stalls for a long while, admiring the beautiful tarts, pastries, chocolates, posed fish, imported cheeses, etc., before moving on to gawk at the Vera Wang dresses and Juicy Couture hand bags to pass some time (as well as escape the tourists packing being packed in like cattle).
After that we went to St. Paul's Cathedral for an afternoon mass. The little choir boys with their ruffled neck fixtures filled that place like I couldn't believe. After the service, we stayed for an organ concert. It was breathtaking being inside - the architecture, murals, detailing, huge space being filled w/ blasts from the organ pipes...one of those things you can't really describe, just have to experience.
Her parents treated us to some delicious burgers and milkshakes, and then I made my way back to finish up some homework. Alas, I got sidetracked by my newest procrastination fetish: stuffwhitepeoplelike.com. Hilarious, especially considering the other two topics in the title can be included in this list.
