Some of the architecture in the National History Museum |
We had class today and afterwards another girl and I went to
the Natural History Museum. We weren’t there long; we just wanted to get a feel
for the place. And it was awesome! There’s no way you could see it all in one
day. It would take at least two, maybe even three. The stuff that we saw was
amazing (first edition of The Origin of
Species, the first meteor owned by the UK (given to them by the US), a fossil
that was 147 million years old, an amazing hummingbird display, etc.) and I
especially can’t wait to go back and visit the space exhibit. You get to ride an
escalator up into a globe/meteor-looking thing. Plus, the architecture in the
museum was amazing! I didn’t take pictures of many exhibits because we were only
there for an hour, but I did take pictures of the architecture. It was incredible!
We only stayed at the museum for an hour because some people
in the flat had dubbed today a “rest day”. Which I was completely fine with because
the thought of walking anywhere made me exhausted. Plus, we have another very
full day tomorrow. Some people did homework, others took naps, I was going to
watch TV/a movie and read, but instead, I spent the day trying to get rid of a
virus on my computer. It decided to cause me stress and frustration as soon as
I sat down to enjoy my day. After several attempts to fix it, I gave up and
went with some other girls to buy chocolate. Because chocolate fixes everything,
duh. Turns out that it does, or at least it provides useful inspiration because
after we got home I had a new idea and it worked! I fixed it! I was so proud of
myself. However, I will have to thank Wendy for helping me and giving me
suggestions. She’s great. I was really disappointed that I couldn’t just call
her and have her come over and look at it for me.
We got our ward assignments today too. Luckily, I get to go
to the ward that is held in the same church building as our classes. No
fighting the construction on the Tube for me! J
Well, that’s it for today. Nothing too exciting. Enjoy the
few pictures that I have to offer.
A very bright picture of the raspberry tart I ate yesterday (It was delicious!) Those are actual raspberries, actual garden raspberries! |
