My first Friday off got to a bit of late start, about 12pm, but I have a bit of a cold so I wanted to get as much sleep as possible. Heather, Emma, and I were ready by about 1:30pm and headed out. Heather needed to drop off her internship time sheet at one campus and I needed to visit the study abroad office on another campus, so we split up for a bit to accomplish our errands. This quick trip ended up taking about an hour. Not that the trip took an hour, it was the fact that we could not seem to find each other again! When I was at oxford st station they were at Bond st station. When I went to Bond st they went to oxford st, and so on. So finally around 3 we finally made it to St. Paul's Cathedral. We made it to one church and then got a call from a few other APIers that wanted to come join us. By around 4pm we were all together finally! Although we did not make it to all the churches on my list, we made it to about 4 and the the Bank of England Museum, where Heather and I were able to crack open the safe and get a gold bar! And by that I mean open a small plastic safe by answering questions and get a pin of a gold bar replica...not as cool when I say it that way but we are still very proud of our gold bars!
That night Kelly, Steph, Emily and I decided to go to a club in Camden called Koko. There was a really cool band playing that night that looked like it would be fun to see. On the way there we happened to meet a group of guys celebrating their friend's 21st Birthday. They were also going to Koko and were so kind to show us the way! When we arrived I was amazed at the venue. The club was an old theater that had been renovated. There were three floors, a stage, and a small deck upstairs. When the opening band came on the girls and I snuck our way up to the front. The opening band was really good, they played reggae music. The main band, called Sons & Lovers, came on around 11pm. Of course we were still in the front, and having done our homework and listened to their songs before leaving for the club, were singing right along with the band. We plan to go back next Friday and see them for their last appearance at the Koko which happens to the the guitarist's birthday!
Mood: Finally settling in and getting comfortable
