I shouldnt be blogging because its 2am now and I still havent finished my work for my tutorial tomorrow...I mean today. But, I cant help it because writing here seems more fun than drafting a constitution.
Mum and dad arrived this morning. Really early. The plan was they would prank me when they reached Bond Street Station and I would go and meet them (the problem with the tube is there is no mobile reception underground). I think I looked like one scary looking girl, with messy bed hair, and uncoordinated clothes running down Oxford Street at 7 something in the morning.
It was a shame I couldnt accompany them for the most part of the day because I had this coursework to do. But I did join them for the food episodes...haha. how predictable. but a person gotta eat, right? They spent the morning walking along Oxford Street, checking out the homeware stores on Tottenham Crt Road, taking a look at my Uni and visiting the British museum. I met up with them in the afternoon at Fortum & Mason and had afternoon tea (mmM with scones and clotted cream). Afterwards, they trotted to Carnaby and Newburgh Street, while I walked back to the halls to continue my work. I didnt do much because an hour or two later, I met up with them again for dinner. We dined at a Maroush Restaurant, just off Edgware St, well Seymour St to be exact, for Lebanese food. I personally thought the food was great, but I dont think my parents appreciate the cold mezzes very much. They did fancy the lamb cubes though (photos to come).
Im excited for tomorrow. Ah. I mean today. After 11am, I am one FREE girl. Well, not entirely. I still have university next week but no work to submit. Woo hoo. I get to spend 24/7 with my parents over the weekend.
