Today I worked on my research paper during class so that after class I could have a break! Very nice. I wrote 500 words (which is my new goal for each day), which if I continue to do each day then I'll be done on Monday! That would be really nice because I'm hoping I can spend my last week mainly sight-seeing rather than focusing on school. After class we got lunch at Bush House, per usual, and then headed home. We also stopped by the student union and bought King's sweatshirts, which were kind of expensive but I think worth it! It'll be fun to have people ask questions about it when I'm home. After resting at home for a bit I decided to get up and visit Kensington Gardens, as I've been meaning to do for a while. It was lovely! I spent most of my time by the Italian fountains, but I also walked one of the trails for a while and saw their memorial fountain for Princess Diana. After the gardens, I headed over to Primark (basically the UK's Forever 21) and bought some cheap shoes that I can use for rush. I also stopped in a store called River Island and found a very cute dress, which I packed to take to Scotland tomorrow! I'm super excited to see Edinburgh--I've heard amazing things from all my friends who have visited. That's all for today! I'll include some more pictures of the gardens, though.
