These past few days have been great but exhausting. My internship has been fun but I have been working very hard and long so this past week I have been dead tired. But it is because of my internship that I got to go to the Royal Henley Regatta. It was definitely the most British and “posh” thing I have done since coming here. It was really cool seeing the proper and extravagant side of England. To get in I hard to wear a suit, which at first was cool because I never had to dress like that to go to an athletic competition. However, after several hours in almost forty degree weather it was a bit much. It was still a lot of fun. Another thing I enjoyed very much was seeing an orchestra perform Vivaldi’s Four Seasons at St. Martin’s Church next to Trafalgar Square. Vivaldi is my favorite composer by far so it was a real treat to finally listen to it life. Better yet I also got to sit in the front row of the concert because of a student discount I only had to pay 9 pounds. This Friday I got to see the J.W. Watterson exhibit at the Royal Art Academy, which I feel so luck to have a chance to see. Some of these amazingly beautiful paintings are over one hundred years old, but they look perfect know, but have themes from Classical Greece, and Medieval Europe, which I have never really seen before. My favorite thing about London is that I have seen and done things that I could never do in any other city. There is just so much to do, and I am loving every minute of it.
