Tuesday

A small group of us just got back from the British Museum. It was exhausting, but sufficiently enlightening. To catch up...on Sunday we went to St. Augustine's Church. It was a gorgeous church, and it was a great service. We played ping-pong after the service with a few of the children. I still can not get over their accents (especially the little black kids :-P)! We took a bus to Oxford after church to get ourselves the phones that we'd need to keep in touch for the upcoming museum assigments and such.
Monday, we got up early and walked to the underground in the wind and rain, which took us to the London Institute for Contemporary Christianity (LICC) where our plenaries (lectures) are held. I barely noticed the 3 1/2 hours pass...our professors are incredible! I took 6 pages of notes and was actually able to hold a moderate amount of concentration! We took a short break for tea and cookies (crackers) half-way through, which helped to keep our focus. After plenary, a few of us walked down the street to Urban Outfitters - we just couldn't resist. The rest of the afternoon and evening was spent reading our brains out. Though we did manage to sneak in some youtube, m&ms and a card game after story-time with Dara.
This morning we woke up according to our colloquy (small-group discussion) time-slot. I had the later one, so I fit in some reading and giggling in the Blue Room (I'll try to remember to take a picture next time I'm in there.). Professor Mills-Woolsey lead our discussion on Antigone and Thucydides' account of the history of the Peloponnesian war. After colloquy we took the tube to the museum...which brings me back to now. I'm just going to read some Plato before dinner...not very exciting, but I think I'll get over it. I'm in London. :D
