For class we visited Greenwich, specifically Cutty Sark and the royal observatory. Neither were extremely exciting, but it got us out of the classroom, so I won't complain. My dad would have loved the royal observatory though. I saw a mass amounts of different clocks there, it was so exciting. I also stood in two hemispheres at once over the prime meridian.
Later in the evening there were about a dozen of us who went of for my flatmate, Griffin's, birthday. We went to a burger place and then they went to a pub afterward. At some point, throughout the night, it was decided that we were going to O'Neils, around midnight. Reid, Brooke, Dom, Katie, and I went and met up with JT, Aleesia, and Emily. We had a great time! JT, Reid, Dom, Brooke, and I all held out until 3 am, when they closed, to leave. Then JT and I ate a lot and talked until 4:30, when we started walking down to the water to watch the sunrise. We sat on one of the bridges, and even through it was cloudy, we could still tell when the sun was up. We got back around 6 am, and even though I wasn't tired, I tried to push myself to sleep. This was one of the best nights of the semester. I love my friends and this program was so great to me.
