As I may have mentioned previously, this week has been very low-key in comparison to the previous four and a half weeks we have been here. I have mostly been relaxing and attempting to study for finals. I went to the National Portrait Gallery on Thursday, and it was amazing to see people I have studied about in several of my classes. Particularly, it was exciting to see authors I had studied in Brit Lit, such as Ben Jonson, Sir Walter Ralegh, Sir Philip Sidney, and Shakespeare. I also saw several of the kings and queens I had learned about in my Shakespeare class, such as Henry IV, Henry V, Henry VIII, Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Queen Elizabeth I, and Queen Mary. This afternoon I went to the British Museum, where I saw the Rosetta stone, along with other artifacts from Egypt, ancient Greece/Rome, Asia, and the Pacific Islands
On Monday I have a double session of Moral Psych, and then I have finals Tuesday and Wednesday morning. Thursday is home sweet home for me. I have mixed feelings about returning home. I am looking forward to having my own room and not being busy with classes and excursions all the time. However, I love London and the places I have been. I have a special place for it in my heart, and will be sad to leave.
Thanks for reading!
