Midweek Update

Christmas is upon us.

On Monday I met up with Rezzy after our classes. We met at her doctor's office which was near impossible to find since she had an appointment for after her classes. She was pretty sick last week and she had a terrible cough but she's gotten much better. We went to see Due Date which was pretty funny and before the movie we had dinner in Greenwich.
On Tuesday I felt pretty miserable for most of the day while at my internship. I think Rez passed whatever she had onto me since I had a really bad case of the sniffles and went through quite a few tissues.

Today I felt better than yesterday but still not great. I'll be quite happy when I no longer have to get up at 7:30 three days a week for my internship. I met up with Rez at a station halfway between South Ken and her school and we ended up walking to St. Paul's Cathedral. We had lunch at Nando's (chicken place) where we got half of a chicken for free through Rez's loyalty card. Afterwards I dropped her off at work and we bumped into her friend Susan on the way there.

Audi R8 - A common sight outside our flat these days.

Some aspects of living in the student housing here are really starting to frustrate me. Each flat has about 6 rooms, a common room with a kitchen, and about 15 students or so. Of these students only about 10 do their dishes so every couple days a huge pile accumulates in the sink. Pretty much all of the students are extremely messy too, so the table and cooking surfaces have crumbs or mystery sticky spots everywhere. Also quite a few of them feel that if something is in the fridge then it belongs to them. Nevermind the fact that my name is clearly written on the top and side of the container. About 1/3rd of my butter has gone missing, over half of my cream cheese was stolen and my box of beef stock tablets has disappeared entirely.
