(no subject)
I had kind of a weird week, but things are ok now. I've been doing a lot of thinking and I'm actually feeling pretty good about the way things are. Classes are going fine. I have a lot of reading, but it hasn't been excessive. The next couple weeks will be a bit more stressful with three (unassessed) essays and a presentation. I've been trying to keep busy wandering around and visiting museums. I love all the free museums here. Yesterday I walked down to Buckingham Palace (which wasn't as far as I thought--still far, but I was kind of surprised when I got there; I had expected it to be further). Then I heard Evensong at Westminster Abbey. The Abbey and St. Paul's are expensive to get into, but not if you go for a service, which I like anyway because that's what the buildings were designed for. Westminster Abbey is a gorgeous gothic building crammed full of baroque art, so it's really a strange experience. At least for me. Maybe I spent too much time in Medieval art. I also went to the National Gallery, which I quite enjoy. So, it was a good day but not very productive. I should get back to my reading....
