sorry i havent written in a few days,
on weds we went to the city of london. its only a square mile small but it is the financial district of london. esentially its like wall street in new york. it was raining during our 3 hour walking tour so we made sure to bundle up. I ended up wearing 3 pairs of socks, leggings under jeans, uggs, 2 long sleeve shirts, a hoodie, my long peacoat, a hat, and 2 pairs of gloves. I was only a little cold so I'm chalking that up to a success. 
The tour itself was kind of boring considering everything we learned about was blown up in World War II so we got to hear about it but not see it. Could have been sitting in a warm classroom learning about it rather than walking around hearing about "what used to be there." We did see where all the old guilds used to be which was cool...if you sold bread you had to work on bread street. We learned that if for instance a guy who sold fish sold a woman a piece of fish that got her sick, he would be punished by being put in the stocks for a week with a fish hanging around his neck with the maggots getting to the fish and people are allowed to throw things at him. he could die if someone was throwing stones at him. i would never work on something that would make people sick because I dont think I would like to be stoned. we got to see where diagon alley in harry potter was filmed!
all the days are blurring together but we went to a club called tiger tiger i THINK tuesday night...it was interesting. must have been latino night because they kept playing shakira and pitbull. melissa and i danced up a storm. no one bought us drinks. fail.

all the days are blurring together but we went to a club called tiger tiger i THINK tuesday night...it was interesting. must have been latino night because they kept playing shakira and pitbull. melissa and i danced up a storm. no one bought us drinks. fail.Yesterday we went out really late, just Sara, me, and Brittany. Went to South Kensington to meet up with some friends which we thought was going to be a club but it was more of a lounge. really cool vibe in there though and the bartender gave us free drinks because we didnt have any money. were dead broke. REALLY need to go to the exchange place but for 100 dollars you get 52 pounds. i think the best we got was like 60 pounds for 100 dollars. ugh. going to be so broke. they had really cool watermelon drinks where it was actually fresh watermelon blended in front of us kind of like a smoothie bar....also had a champagne/vodka shot which was really good. 
Tonight we went to an ice bar which was soo cool! literally.
my hand was frozen holding my drink. the glasses were made of ice too and they supply you with gloves and coats with hoods on them. it was only a 45 minute session in the bar with one drink included for 15 pounds. definitely a one time thing but great for pictures. we ended up going to a bar called OnAndOn...got in for 5 pounds when its usually 15 so that was good. The club had 10 bars in it so the promoter said although I think we only found about 6 or 7. started out the night playing aretha franklin then escalated to nelly and then went to lady gaga and back to michael jackson. they 0nly play american music here which is funny. stayed sober the whole night...ive only drank once since ive been here like actually drank drank instead of just having a drink.

got back and sara and brittany had made us "drunk" snacks....brownies. well, brownie cookies since we dont have a cookie tin. yummmmm. good thing i wasnt drunk or i would have went to town...oh wait, i did. had like 7 cookies. blah
still super itchy. not sure if its bed bugs or what but this is getting ridiculous! i have little hives all over me.
going to bed, its 5 in the morning. sleep schedule is completely off.
nocturnally,
jori
