I am officially a City University student! I was able to register today after slogging through the rainy weather, only to be met by waves of humidity as I walked back from grocery shopping. Groceries are so heavy! There's only so much I can buy at a time, which I guess is a good thing. I kind of miss cars and not having to carry groceries...but walking is also nice.
Headed over to Camden Market afterward with some friends. As cool as markets are, I always feel like the people at the stalls are very sketchy and want to take as much money from you as possible. It makes me very antsy and wide-eyed, and I end up looking like:
Anyway, I was able to get some pretty cool things after some sad/successful attempts at haggling. Every time someone would "lower the price" I knew they were just acting like they were being kind. Stall owners seem to be very deceptive, or maybe I'm just being cynical.
We walked around the area for a while, browsing around and pointing at all the things that entertained us. It's a pretty hipster/punk park of town. We somehow ended up strolling through Regent's Park and ended our walk at Regent's College, where one of my friends is staying. After resting our feet for a bit, we ventured out to eat at Gourmet Burger Kitchen. Good meal! And it also came with a 40% student discount!
To end our night, we made our way over to the Hammersmith Apollo to see Boyce Avenue! I was surprised that the concert was sold out. Who knew Londoners were such big fans of Boyce Avenue? The line we waited in to get inside was crazy of all kinds. We ended up missing the very first opener (Alex Goot) because the line was so long, but after getting inside and finding our seats we were able to catch the second opener (Tyler Hilton). And then Boyce Avenue!! They were very good, as expected. A man proposed to his girlfriend on stage during the concert! Good thing she said yes. Concert would have been super awkward otherwise...
Leaving for a weekend trip tomorrow! I'm visiting Bath! Fun times await.
Also, everyone needs to try eating Coco Shreddies at least once in their life.
Ooooo! Boyce Avenue! Tyler Hilton!! :) I wish I could have teleported there!!
ReplyDeleteBring me back some Coco Shreddies?? And I'm so amused that you used the word "slogging" teehee. Currently swooning over your pictures from Bath, makes me think of like every romantic British historical movie/BBC series ever. Ahhh I bet Boyce Avenue was even better live than on Youtube. Sounds like you are having the time of your life! How's that accent coming along? (: Miss you!
