The past week in bullet points

Just to sum it up:
  • We've taken on the Management 207 schedule of 3 hour class periods in the morning, with site visits in the afternoon. Thus far they have been to local businesses and markets.
  • Grabbed a spectacular gluten-free chocolate chip cookie and fresh-squeezed fruit smoothie at Camden Lock Market. Definitely going back for a hand-painted London skyline canvas as well!
  • Visited Harrods, the world-renowned department store. We observed the marketing strategies and presentation factors. Absolutely gorgeous. And expensive.
  • Best muffin I've ever had, though...
  • I joined the world's first YMCA right down the street! I've been a couple times, both with friends and by myself; already realizing how much of a wimp I've become. Oops. Looks like it's going to be a rough but rewarding 30 days!
  • Visited Borough Market, another renowned local specialty. There were vendors of every kind of fresh food, both harvested and prepared. The prices were surprisingly reasonable! Liza and I bought fresh fig jam, as well. NOM. We'll be going back.
  • Saw Justin Bieber in real life. Hey.
  • Sent off more postcards (you lucky ones you)
  • Swam laps in the YMCA pool and experienced a steam room for the first time. Disintegrated a little.
  • Attended Hinde Street Methodist Church with Rob and was reminded of the community I always appreciated so much at P-First.
  • After much struggle, I was finally granted a seat in Flat 15's Settlers of Catan evening game time. I don't know if you really understand my joy on this one...
  • Made chocolate oatmeal no-bake cookies. Thrice.
  • Sydney, Jordan, and I went to the Hard Rock Cafe here in London. It was my first HR experience, and it was a good one!! #americanbarbecue #mustgetmore
  • Watched Argo last night with Syd, Liza, and the boyzzz
  • Received a care package from my sweet Aunt Sandy! I'm not sharing my M&M's. No one can make me!!
  • I think I'm out...
And there we are! Somewhat long, isn't it? Oh well. I'll try to post more frequently. For my benefit, not yours. Maybe a little of both.

I'm currently taking hot tea through an IV again with intentions to get over this sickly feeling. Hope I can feel better before we see WICKED ON WEDNESDAY! Cheers!
