An English Short Story
It's currently 9:25pm Monday in London (should be Tuesday morning in Sydney) and while at home my mindset would be along the lines of 'the night is young', being a tourist is no easy task. I am so bloody exhausted.
So after 203487 hours of flight and a night of rest, we finally left this morning to do some proper exploring of the city. We made a visit to Covent Garden in time to see the markets go from set up into full swing in about half an hour. I was looking for Topshop, which according to the website I could find at Covent Garden. When I made it to the address it was still under construction and it was sprinkling and it was so disheartening. Then we walked back to the other side of the station and dropped into some shops - Cath Kidston, Urban Outfitters, Office. That was generally exciting having been a long time lurker of foreign brands. To finally step foot into the physical store. Ah, retail catharsis. Didn't manage to buy anything from UO though because mum was in a rush and oh well. it's okay. NEXT TIME!
Afterwards we paid a visit to Westminster Abbey to walk around the Big Ben/Houses of Parliament/Westminster Abbey and take photos and be tourists. I tried to beast composition and have vectors n shiz going through the photos but wow I realise now my focusing is so bad. Big Ben did its thing but because it was only 1pm there was only 1 bong. I'll cherish that bong. After that, we went to The British Museum (where I took the photo - wreath from anc Greece), which I enjoyed very much. And now I am too tired to elaborate.
Good night.
PS I now realise why the weather here is notorious. It's as cold as winter in Sydney ggqqpp

And we must take the current when it serves,
Hello, hello. A little something something I made. Possibly my favourite quote. Longer version of carpe diem. Shorter versions of proper sentences used in dis post. The first time I read it I had the entire image in my mind, of crashing/swirling waves and spirals of sea foam. I feel that this is a poor understatement of that mental image, but it is late and cold, and I am tired. I feel that an update is in order:
My exams have finally come to an end, time to rejoice yay etc. Although they were only over 6 days, exam period felt like infinity alternating between cramming and sleeping. Needless to say, it was exhausting. The way things stand, I am a bit doubtful of a P for chem, but I am hopeful (There's always plenty of hope on my side). So that's that.
Medsci cruise in 2 days, woot woot! It's been too long since the last time I saw seftoners. I am so excited ~ ~ ~
Good night and gawd bless amercia.

Today feels like a green day
I don't even know what that means but I needed a title for photos of my food. My life decisions become increasingly riveting each day.
First photo is of a vine I took in from outside, hoping for it to sprout roots so that I could plant it in the backyard later. I actually expected it to just wilt and die but it's been a few weeks now and it's still looking pretty good. So that turned out better than expected, yay! but still no roots. The end of the stem where I cut is just starting to look a bit bulbous... which might mean roots??? IDEK.
Anyway, following that: my breakfast in progress, mochi that I bought for mum, and my breakfast in the process of being eaten.
And now to catch up on 193875684 million lectures. Exams are rolling around the corner. How fast has this semester been!? I swear I'm still on holiday mode from that HSC break, ah...
