This morning I woke up to a not-so-nice surprise –no
internet! At first I thought it was just cause our 30 days expired, but nope.
It was that the entire 3rd and 4th floor internet (pretty
much everyone at WPI included) was down. This was incredibly annoying for
everyone. I got up about 8, then got food and attempted a run on the treadmill.
After a slight warmup walk to loosen my legs I tried running and decided it was
not my day, since I felt sick trying to run, so I walked for about 10 minutes
and then did leg swings to loosen my legs and lifted weights a bit. Then I
showered and got dressed. After getting dressed I decided what I wanted to do
before I left England. Unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to go to Dover,
which is disappointing, but I’ve done a lot and will be happy if I do the rest
on my list. I then went to the National Gallery again to see some of what I
missed, including Van Gogh’s Madonna on the Rocks. Then I went to the smaller
National Portrait Gallery behind it where I saw
a lot of the works displayed, though focused on seeing the Tudors around
the time of Elizabeth I since that is one of my favorite pieces of British
History.
Once finished the Galleries, I took the Tube back to Nido
for lunch, then head out again to the British Museum to finish seeing what I
want to there, such as the rest of the Egypt section as well as the Assyrian
and Grecian section. So I saw a bunch
more of it, and then head back to Nido. I wanted to see the Globe Theatre but
it was not near any tube stops and I don’t know the buses well, so I got off at
a Tube stop and then walked across Tower Bridge, then took a bus back to
Liverpool Street Station. It was gross weather which is never fun. After this I
had dinner and relaxed, until getting an email from the adviser’s saying that
we are off track and essentially doing awful. This was not good, so the team
had a meeting to discuss how we would deal with this and work on a schedule of
what needed to get done this week. After that I tried skyping with Bryan via my
phone but couldn’t so went to sleep.
