Thank you for your wisdom, Mr. Darwin.
As promised, the second part of my I-don’t-know-how-many-part updates. I’m hoping to cover my second trip to London, on 14 November, and my trip to Brighton, on 18 November.
London
This time I went to London with more people, namely Kristin, Kévin, Alessandro and Samantha. And instead of taking the train, as Kristin and I did the first time, we took the bus. Or coach, if you want to keep things English. Being poor students and all, taking the coach turned out to be cheaper. So, getting up way too early (since the bus would leave at 8.20am, and we’d have to be there 15 minutes prior to departure, and there would be no busses going from uni to the bus station, which ment we’d have to do the half hour walk to Canterbury Bus Station) and getting breakfast to-go at Rutherford, we set off towards London. According to the schedule we would be in London at about 10:30am, but since we didn’t have to stop along the way we were there earlier, at 10am. We’d arranged to meet Samantha at the National Gallery (Trafalgar Square) at 10:45am (she took the train, she had some sort of special ticket) and because we were in London earlier than planned, we spent more time being a tourist at Buckingham Palace. We’d arrived at Victoria Station, and Buckingham Palace was on the route to Trafalgar Square. read more…

Thanks to Erika for reminding me!
So, just to get going (or: without further ado, let’s keep it fancy): there are still some events left which I haven’t discussed on this blog. As far as I can tell, that’s Halloween, my Musical Theatre Performance, another trip to London, my trip to Brighton and (again) another trip to London (though that one was yesterday, so it’s not too bad). And, let’s not forget, I also have to tell you guys about my academic adventures and how my courses have been going the past couple of weeks. Let’s start with Halloween, shall we?
Halloween
On Friday the 30th, there was a Halloween party at Mungo’s, so we (me, Alessandro, Kévin, Kristin, Mandy and Samantha) decided to go there. It was a party that was also being celebrated in the big Elliot Hall, and last time a party had been held there was during the Welcome Week (School Disco). We got a lot of strangers forcing open our door and screaming in general drunkenness
