...was the general consensus while 100 ND juniors strolled around the path surrounding Stonehenge. The real one. The stones weren't as pretty, there was no fountain, and it was freezing cold. Well, that last part is true of ND's Stonehenge as well for most of the school year, but still.
Stonehenge was the initial stop on our day trip yesterday, which was organized by the ND London Program for one of the classes, but is then offered to those who aren't in the class. I am not in the class (Archaeology and Ethics), but thought it would be a fun trip and I could see some pretty historic things along the way. We went to Bath from Stonehenge, which was a very cute, very English town, which is also home to the Roman Baths. We had a little time to stroll around and explore and see some of the famous Georgian architecture, and then we had a tour of the baths, which are pretty impressive, especially when you consider how long they've been around (since 75 AD).
As well as having a day trip, yesterday was coincidentally two of my eight roommates birthday. When we got home, three of the girls who had not gone on the trip had a delicious meal prepared for us, including homemade mulled wine. We then successfully inundated another club with the majority of the program, and danced to some horrible British techno. I'm really jonesing for a night when I can hear Africa, Let Her Cry, and Cooking by the Book in succession. I guess that'll just have to wait for Corby Row...
Last week I did a pretty good job with food. I only ate out twice, once was for the famous kebab place in Leicester Square and once for my really hot date with Chronert at the Wagamama, thanks to Maggie. Sparks flew. 'nuff said. The other nights I made food, like Rachael Ray's Lime and Honey Glazed Salmon with Warm Corn Salad, and chicken sauteed with peppers and onions. Liza might not be the foodie in the family after all. Well, that's just not true, but while she's not here to show me up I can believe it a little bit.
On the horizon: More workouts with Jillian! Petticoat Lane Market! Better blog posts than this one! More exclamation points!
