Sleep at 7am, Up at 2pm

So yesterday was pretty fun. First we went to the lunch and book sale provided by NYU, which kind of sucked and was not worth waking up/walking for. Then on the way back we stopped at Tesco Express for some groceries. After getting back to the dorm and waking Charine up, Charine, Lynn and I decided to go explore a little bit. We took the tube for the first time using our oyster cards and took it to Oxford Circus. When we got there it was kind of like Soho, with a bunch of stores lining Oxford Street. We explored a bit and went into some stores we've never heard of, then found an alleyway and found a cute little candy shop in there. When we got back to Russell Square, Charine realized that her gold Kate Spade bag was missing from her purse... I guess pickpocketing is pretty common here in London on the tube. There are some dodgy people out there. ha. We finally got home and headed to the NYU dinner event at Tutu's in KCLSU. Unfortunately it took literally an hour of waiting in line to finally get our burgers. At least we got a free drink and had entertainment thanks to a few drunk people dancing by themselves on the dance floor... After things got a little boring, our new suitemate Emma led us to The Rocket, a bar. It was pretty fun after we requested good American songs that we actually knew and started dancing in the middle of the floor. Soon enough other people joined in after they realized how cool we were and how good the music was. :) This is actually one of the only places in London that closes at a relatively normal time, aka 2AM. After we got back to the dorm, we were still so energetic that we ended up dancing by ourselves for a good hour and then talked for another several hours. At 7AM we called it a night and went to bed. And here I am at 6pm, about to go out to eat at Pizza Express with the suite!
