purplehello98 I didn't have class today, which meant it was my first big solo day in greater London! I was really excited for this. I went in with no plan, and was going to go wherever the wind blew me! Though that didn't end up being very interesting. But I still had some fun little moments. Someone was playing Fur Elise in Waterloo Station, and I had a lovely triple chocolate doughnut while I watched! I also had a cheeky Nando's! Forever fulfilling twelve-year-old me's dream. Nando's was really good! It had peri peri chicken. I'm still not 100% sure what that is but I like it! And hey, peri peri sounds like Verivery! I also had their chips (fries) and mac and cheese, which were both good.
I walked around for a long time, but I happened to be in an office-building-and-restaurant district, not one with any fun shops or attractions. Which I guess is the bad part of going "wherever the wind blows me". And I want to start finding more local places rather than chains. But I've already found some in my part of London, like this amazing Korean place Blue and I tried when he visited last weekend. Which reminds me: I need to add the link to his new Web site, because he's joined the ranks of my fellow Neocitizens! I need to work more on the main part of my site beyond my blog.
Anyways, I ended up catching a bus (or multiple, rather, because a lot of the buses had their routes cut short) and a train back to campus. Grey and I had a lunch/dinner date tonight! We both made tomato garlic chicken pasta, and since his lunch is when I eat dinner, we ate together and watched YouTube. :) It was really great! I miss him. But I guess that shows how much I love him, which I really do! <3 I miss spending whole days together with him, from morning till night. Those are some of my happiest times. :)
That's my day! Now it's getting really late, and I need to brush my teeth and go to bed! But at least I'm sleeping in tomorrow. So anyways, toodles!
