Victorian Station: East-bound to Eastbourne

School has really snuck up to me these past few weeks, leaving me very little time for my "pleasure" work, like blogging, journaling, Google-reading and yoga. Things I had so so much time mere weeks ago are things that I now have to pencil in my journal.

Since I've began my uni here, I feel that I've already learned so many things. Sure, I've been reading political commentaries and historical frameworks for Foreign Policies, but it's been eye-opening none-the-less. I usually only have school Monday (twice a month) through Wednesday. During these days, I take my c2 bus to Oxford Circus, show up, listen and take notes in class, then run out before oxford circus becomes - well - a circus. Rightly so. People pile into the tubes and cram their hot, sweaty bodies down steaming tile corridors, pushing with a smile, just to get only a few inches ahead of you..sound familiar to you Atlanta commuters?

At any rate, I truly hope that the outcomes my mind discovers and the things I've discovered about others, but mainly about myself, aren't easily forgotten. I think the biggest part that has added to my international experience are my flatmates. Let me briefly list off to you the nations represented in the picture: Japan, Rwanda, Uganda, Germany, France, UK, Italy (others not listed: Iran and India). This paints a cultured picture to you of how international my life has been going.]]

We do a cultured snack/dinner once a week where each person volunteers to cook a small portion of something that represents their hometown.

On to the East side of things...
I did go on the annual London Rotary Conference on the stony beaches of the East UK. What a fun time I had just meeting people, hanging with my host club, Rotary of Barkingside, and hanging with the other scholars.

We went to a Gala dance on Saturday with a band, balloons and partying. See pics below
