so you want some pictures do you???

so we are starting out with a lovely view from the bridge i have to cross every morning/afternoon/evening. whenever i want to do anything. this is the view that you would see if you just happened to look to your right at the beginning of the bridge. boats. and i am pretty sure that people in them... well either people live in them or i am seeing smoke come out of there for another reason.



now this fancy bridge has a name but i have no idea what it is. so far every single day that i have been here i have crossed this bridge. i have mixed feelings about it. one time i was crossing it on my way to school and a giant swan was standing on the pedestrian side of the bridge and he was snapping at people. i had to walk so far out of my way to get around him. i would have tackled him if he wasnt the "queen's animal" whatev. you get in big trouble if you harm a swan, but you can kick a duck and nobody looks twice. huh. oh did i mention that this is the thames river????

haha. now this picture is of phillip woods. he is my favorite teacher hands down here. he is part of the abroad program so is get to see him a lot. he teaches the british life and culture class, a.k.a my fieldtrip class. and he is just so funny. he makes the funniest jokes and makes fun of people (but in a nice way). and he has that accent. uh i just love him. and the best part is that we were walking to class today and we were walking past a place to park your mopeds and there was phillip putting on his helmet and throwing on his leather driving gloves. it probably doesnt mean much to people reading this but, its amazing. think of your most polite/proper teacher and then throw them on a moped. it was perfect. and he waved at us while driving, which we all know means pure talent driving with one hand.



alright well i should really be getting to bed since i have one busy day tomorrow. ugh i dont even want to think about it. oh well. hope you enjoyed...what 4 pictures? well at least now everyone sorta knows what the surrounding area looks like for me.

*interesting fact* it is now 3 in the morning and i was just outside for about 40 minutes because the fire alarm went off...AGAIN. how annoying. anyways at least this time i wasnt caught in the shower.
