Weekend






Well.... things haven't been too awfully exciting this weekend. Doing a lot of reading and homework stuff. Gone out a couple of times. There's ALWAYS something to do in London. It's crazy how big this place is. Not just number of people but square miles. They don't build UP here like in NYC or Chicago who are fixed within a certain boundary. Around London there's still a lot of non-built up area so they build out and the city is just such an expanse.
Wimbledon was today - a little too crazy to try to get IN to Wimbledon but some of us are going next week to check the place out. So that should be fun. Not a lot of photos to share today - just some wierd things that I thought I'd share. They have a LOT of signs here on buildings, fences, walls that say "Anti-Climb Paint". I asked someone and they said that it's supposed to be a special kind of paint that prevents you from gripping and being able to climb walls here... wierd.
Also I've included some pics of where I'm staying. The classroom building is right across the street so not much of a walk - but within walking distance of EVERYTHING. We hardly ride the tube at all because we're within 2 miles of almost EVERYTHING you would ever want to do / see in London. A pic from outside my building shows the IMAX (largest screen in London where we'll be watching Harry Potter next week) and the London Eye.
