Day 7 - Class Begins

Today our classes started. It starts at 9, which is earlier than any one has been up all week. It sure is a bit colder in the morning, but it always looks colder than it actually is. The first class is Radio, Television, and Film 300: The Language of Film. We are looking at the visual aspect of film and have to photography projects due throughout the 6 week course. They both display different visual styles used in film. It is a different kind of film class than I have previously taken so it should be interesting. After that class was finished, I went back to the flat and everyone else stayed for the English class.

Back at the flat I did some laundry and waited for the others to come back. Upon their return, we went to the Natural History Museum. Most museums in London are free. The Natural History Museum is only a few blocks away near Imperial College. On the walk there, I saw a group of school girls walking down the street. There were all wearing Madeline hats. It was so cute. Once we got there, we split up into a few groups. My group, Stephanie and Nicole decided to start on the left side and work our way around. First was the dinosaur exhibit. They have a number of fossils of all different kinds of dinosaurs. We worked around to the mammals. They have a giant blue whale hanging from the ceiling. There are also a lot of other animals including giraffes, elephants, and whales.










The boys made some chicken noodle Indian dish which was really good. I have been trying a lot of new foods recently and I have found that I like them.

Until we meet again,
