London: They really make you work here!

Posted by Laura Geggel at 01:34 PM

Oh my goodness, essay writing is going so slowly. I've been researching like crazy for my papers; I have to do a lot more background research at University College London than back at Washington University; everything here is much more independently driven. I woke up in a nervous panic today determined to finish writing my early Middle Ages essay so I could work on my Roman Republic essay on how Rome really wasn't a democracy. Fun times!

Explored Chinatown with some friends later in the day and found that most of the restaurants have minimum fees for sitting down and ordering. Sheesh. But we were so hungry, that ended up not being a problem.
