Today is Day 2 of my weekend. Day 1 was Sunday. Mondays are weird because I feel as though they are a part of my weekend, but I actually have class for 4 hours, so they are not.
Saturday night was fun. I went out with Diana, Alli, Meg, Katie, Becca and Becca's two friends. We went to Babble Bar. It was chic and pretty low-key for a club.
Sunday I slept in and went grocery shopping and worked on my portfolio a little bit. It was a very relaxing day.
Yesterday (before my class), Katie and I went to STA Travel to look into booking a trip to Paris. She, Diana, and I are planning to go the weekend of December 8 & 9, and we're hoping that our plans will be finalized today. Then I had class, which was fine. We had a guest speaker who was a Conservative MP. He put on a good show. After class, I went with Katie, Nate, and Steve to Roundwood Park to see fireworks for Guy Fawkes day. We were a little late and made it just in time to see the fireworks. I was a little disappointed that I did not see any bonfires, but I have heard that they are illegal in London.
Today I think I will go to the Tower of London. It's sunny, so it's a good day to go. Last Tuesday, I went to Harrod's and the Science Museum. I don't know how long the Tower of London will take; maybe I will have time to stop at another museum on the way home. We shall see. I'm also at the point where I'm a little tired of museums, so it will depend on my mood, too.

Found this hillarious. Hope you don't break any laws.
Most ridiculous British law:
1. It is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament
2. It is an act of treason to place a postage stamp bearing the British monarch upside-down
3. In Liverpool, it is illegal for a woman to be topless except as a clerk in a tropical fish store
4. Mince pies cannot be eaten on Christmas Day
5. In Scotland, if someone knocks on your door and requires the use of your toilet, you must let them enter
6. A pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants, including in a policeman's helmet
7. The head of any dead whale found on the British coast automatically becomes the property of the king, and the tail of the queen
8. It is illegal to avoid telling the tax man anything you do not want him to know, but legal not to tell him information you do not mind him knowing
9. It is illegal to enter the Houses of Parliament in a suit of armour
10. In the city of York it is legal to murder a Scotsman within the ancient city walls, but only if he is carrying a bow and arrow
