Hi everyone!
Since coming back from Stockholm, I have been scrambling to catch up with homework. I think I'm pretty much back on track, so I can relax a bit. Yesterday, me and a friend went to see the London Symphony Orchestra in an outdoor concert at Trafalgar Square! They were playing mostly Stravinsky (encore was Prokofiev) and it was really awesome. There were a couple thousand people there, really impressive.
Today is the last day of the Premiere League, a big football (soccer) tournament for English club teams. I don't know who to root for. I live by Arsenal's stadium, but I don't really support them, haha.
I am starting to get a reputation for talking about food too much in this blog, but real fast, let me tell you about my work placement!
So last week I worked on taking data from a database and working out statistics about the contents ("in 1980, 73% of the roles in plays were for male actors" etc). Then I stuck it into nice little JavaScript charts that are interactive. It is pretty neat, I will try to post one soon. But more importantly, I get £5 for lunch every day, and boy have I been taking advantage of that! There is a market about two blocks away from work with all kinds of food stalls and I go there every day! A lot of the food stands change by the day so I always have new choices. I have been eating a lot of Senegalese, Moroccan, Thai, and a pseudo Indian thing (like....Indian kebabs with falafel? It's confusing but tasty).
Anyway, I'll talk to some of you tonight! Happy Mother's Day!
