Past Week

This past Sunday I got to hang out with James all day. He came over and saw my apartment and then we walked to the Tate Modern to get some lunch and browse the museum. Very interesting exhibits I must say.. I'm not a huge fan of modern or contemporary art. I did see some art I recognized like that of Marcel Duchamp, Jackson Pollock, and Andy Warhol but most of the time it was kind of humorous for James and I to try and interpret some of the very ambiguous work. Eventually the museum started to close and we walked out by the river and crossed Millennium bridge towards St. Paul's. We got some coffee at Costa's and chatted until he had to go to his last dinner with his Calvin group. I walked back and it was nice to stroll along the river.

Monday I already posted pictures about the Letterpress which was pretty awesome. Such tedious work but I love it so hopefully I can go back again and print something more worth while.

Tuesday I meandered down to Westminster bridge just to get a feel for the area. I'm still trying to find a running route so I like to get my exercise by walking for now while scoping out safe places to run.

Wednesday I went to the Science Museum which I really enjoyed. I always love science museums just because they show you how things are done and how they were made which is so intriguing to me. There was one exhibit called "Who Am I?" and it was all about the human body, its emotions, background, facial expressions, body language, orientation, pretty much everything. It was a really fun exhibit because it was so interactive with different games you could play and tests you could take. I also enjoyed an exhibit called Launchpad because it was basically a whole bunch of science experiment type things that were also all hands-on. The first picture is the view of the main hall of the science museum taken from the third floor. The picture to the right of that is the "Who Am I?" exhibit. The first one on the bottom is watching water crystalize and freeze. And the last one is me looking at myself through a thermal camera.

Thursday I went to class to watch some presentations given by people in my graphic design program. I didn't have to because it was reflecting on past projects and their process through everything. It was pretty informative to watch though and see what kind of things everyone was doing. That night I hung out with Paige and Kinne and we just hung at the apartment and made some delicious pasta and had wine. Quite classy.

Yesterday I worked on some projects and went shopping with Paige at the 99p store which we discovered we love because it's so inexpensive. Later on Kinne and Sam joined us to go eat Chinese and we brought it back and hung out here the rest of the night. Paige made guacamole and it was delicious.
