Something is casing sunshine down on me today. First of all the Tube strike was playing with my schedule; headed out for class at the British Museum today and Dave HAD to have breakfast (actually I hinted at it). So we went and I filled up on beans and toast. Isn’t odd? Beans and toast? I still have to get used to this whole English food thing, I am just fussy. Anyway, then we got on the train and planned on getting a cab to the Museum, traffic was horrible. I mean it just completely did not go anywhere. Back and forth I looked at my clock, the meter, the clock, the meter…finally I had to walk/run down some streets. It was about 11:45 and I figured that since I was late maybe I should not show. Strolling in 45m minutes late is not exactly flattering. I choose to head in and was greeted by my Professior at the gate, out of breath and sweaty I crying a story about traffic and cabs and running. She was so okay with it, she actually pushed the class back to 12 because of the strike, but I didn’t know that so looks like I just whined for nothing. We headed I the gallery and I watched the clock again because it was approaching 1 and I had a class at 1:30. Regent’s College needs to make up its mind. Nonetheless, I started running again, thought about all the work I need to do this weekend and how slacking I am and how late I will be. I think my arm waved a cab on impulse and I took a £3 ride to the college crawling in on time..
How did I get so damn lucky today? Really I was cutting close to every corner but here I am, almost done with the day and feeling quite good.
Another side note while I am all tired looking and sweaty, I cant figure out why I am such a chick magnet today. Really like all my classes people have been like “hey colleen, what you up to” like it is national meet someone that you seen everyday but never talk to day. I am not new, leave me alone you weird Regent’s College American scum..ouch that was mean. Actually some of them seem nice I am just not the best at talking back to new people with lame chitchat. I am really a nice person though, I swear. Just really weird how people want to rub the wonders which is Colleen today.
