Weird day today. I woke up just as sick as I went to sleep. I got up and did some reading for today's class. Then I left to make my way to the Serpentine Gallery in Hyde Park (where class was today). I got there quicker than I expected and I also forgot that our teacher had pushed class a little later in case people got lost. So I wandered around the area a little bit then went into the gallery to look around a little bit. Turns out it's not very large and I was...

Long day today. I got up, had breakfast, struggled with my still wet clothes then headed to the library to read for today's class. After reading I had a snack out on the "campus" courtyard while I waited for Chao (another EPA student also in my class) to meet me so we could go down to the river together.

Great day today. I slept in (although my cold did not go away with a full 8 hours, as I hoped it would) then went for a run.

On our way there we heard one of the wardens (attendants) say that the changing of the guard was not happening today. Thank god we didn't go there just for the guards. ...

Fun day today. I got up and went for a long run throughout Regent's Park (where else). I found another new area, surprise surprise. I actually didn't get there because it is outside the regular boundaries of the park. I got confused. I will find it though. It's called primrose hill and their is a viewing point in it so maybe it actually has some slope to it (I need some hills). Afterwards I worked on my budget while I waited for Dawn to return from her intervie...
