Happy Halloween

-
Today I got up and put on my spooky tights (they are roses and bones) and got a tone of compliments!

I did some homework after breakfast and then headed out to Brick lane for an Etap. It was a really fun trip and our tour guide, Steve, was hysterical. Also a bunch of people dressed up like Cali and that was a hoot and a half. Fun fact there was this guy who had made his fortune in selling spirits but then saw a bunch of abandoned children and was like oh god I am an awful person-so he gave up the business and started a rehab facility. 

After that trip ended I backtracked to the first real bagel shop in London. I got a cream cheese bagel and loved it. It kind of had the consistency of challah but still really good. Then I got on a train and headed to South Kensington to go to the V&A for AA. 

I was a little concerned that I was in the wrong place but then I saw Ayesha and Elizabeth and then a minute later Lucinda showed up. The V&A is really big and a couple of people got lost but it was really cool and now we have some catch phrases like  you can't be upsetti if you see a Rossetti or why join the chorus if you can see Morris.  I thought they were funny at any rate. 

Then after a bunch of us went and watched ice skating before heading back to chapter. When I got back I did some homework and talked to Grandma Ei (a highlight of my day) despite all the technical difficulties. 

Then at 8 we started our movie night, which was supposed to be 3 movies but we only watched one, the nightmare before Christmas but it was still really good and Jess bought us so so much candy-way better than trick or treating! 

Now I am writing this and probably going to bed because I am sore all over. 

For those of you trick or treating, Good Luck!

I lost the game! and other fun traditions

-
One day last week, or maybe it was the week before, was national wear your camp t-shirt day-of which no one (at school) that I know participated. However there is no need to fret because yours truly-super counselor extraordinaire remembered and wore her staff shirt from last summer. This combined with the Hillel retreat where we sang a lot of the end of session songs and an email encouraging us to apply for summer 2020, reminded me of all the little traditions from camp that I wish took place more in my daily life. For my camp friends reading this I hope it doesn't make you too nostalgic, and for everyone else maybe this a way to bring a little bit of fun to the office or maybe the holidays. The pineapple game When you are out with a group of people the first one to point to the pineapple and say I win. Wins. Yep- that's the whole game. I do highly recommend it for group shopping trips as it brings a sense of adventure to what can be a drab day at the mall. Invisible ...

Less Busy

Yesterday I got up and worked on some papers and then around 11 decided to make up my mind for the day. I had a kind bar and hit the road. I went to the Barbican, Postman's Park, and Postal museum The Barbican is a really unique building because it has plants overall the windows. The Postman's Park is much smaller than many parks that I have been to but that there are some titles that describe heroic events live saving children from a fire. Finally the Postal museum was incredible. I didn't think that I would enjoy it nearly as much as I did. Also at the museum, you can ride the mail rail, which is the old mail cart which would run under the city. Overall I had a great time and I was able to walk most of these so I saw many new parts of the city. Today I leave for Derby today to visit a camp friend. Don't expect any more posts until Sunday Morning. Have a Great Weekend!

Meal Prep and a Movie

-
This will be brief because I am going to watch a movie with some friends. Today I got up and read in bed for a bit. I then got up and worked out before going foodshopping. I got stuff for the week and also to make Nutella brownies with. They were pretty good, a little gooey but that didn't stop anyone. I then proofread a paper and did more research for AA overall it was a really chill day.
