BUT lucky for you I have kept a journal everything I've done! At lot has happened in 5 weeks though so prepare yourself
Week 5:
These weeks were filled with our endless exploration of London and copious amount of statistics homework. How we managed sleep in there I'm not sure. Dr. Mee took us to a lot of places we probably never would have visited. We visited Dunhumby data collection agency, Lloyds of London insurance company, and Oxford University. It was really interesting seeing how companies here operate compared to the US. It was surprising to hear about the amount of psychology and arts and humanities majors that are now working at these prestigious businesses. Besides being nerdy about studying business operations, we've been doing the usually, getting tea and getting lost trying to find the grocery store.

Week 6:
ITS ALMOST SPRING BREAK! 12 of us have planned a trip to Rome, Florence, and Pisa in Italy and Barcelona and Madrid in Spain. This week of anticipation is defiantly going to get me through the rest of statistics. Like always, on our down time we've been exploring the city. This week we found a couple really cute thrift stores. On February 2nd it was Chinese New Year! All the girls in our flat woke up early and went to the parade. All of Chinatown was decorated in hanging lanterns and flags. Then we made the decision that it would be a great idea to splurge on Chinese food in Chinatown on Chinese new year.. it was a great idea. That same night was the Superbowl so we all squeezed together in our flat with chips and oreos and watched the (really bad) game. Before spring break we made one more outing to Greenwich which was right by the water. It was such a nice day and you could see the entire view of the city of London. There was also a spot where you could stand in-between the east and west hemisphere. Some other random adventures of the week were that we went to the top of The Shard which is the tallest building in Europe and found a wall in the streets where people wrote everything they want to do before they die.
