My first Package!!

I had planned to get up early and go to the Tate Modern with Art History but after staying up late I decided to sleep in. I only slept in until 10:00 because I had a package to go pick up and I was excited about it. Once I got home I opened my package and saw my mom had sent me Yoder popcorn!!!! I was so excited about it I made some for Jeana and I right away. I’m sure they have popcorn in the stores but I’ve never thought to look. I have no idea why I haven’t because I have definitely missed it!

Before I knew it it was time to head to class. Jeana and I went a little early so we could print off everything we needed for our trip to Ireland this weekend! It ended up taking a little too long but Rob wasn’t in class when we got there so it was no big deal we showed up a few minutes late. Class was a hoot this week. We were having a “normal” lesson but then the music program stopped working. We got way off topic while he was trying to fix it. Then we pretty much stayed off topic the rest of class and talked about random things to do with London and weekend traveling. Just as he was about to dismiss us early the program restarted. It was really funny because Brandon had just stood up and the player said “Hey you” so it was excellent timing. Rob decided we were too far gone to teach us anything else though so he let us go early.

Normally I go home after Brit Pop but today I thought the Brit Lit class was going to the Churchill War Museum so I decided to tag along. It turned out that wasn’t actually where they were going but I still had a good time going to the Imperial War Museum with them. We went through a WWI and WWII exhibit. There was absolutely everything that was possibly used in the war on display. My favorite part was the propaganda posters. I just think the whole concept is interesting and it was neat to see how creative and persuasive some of them were.

The other exhibit we went through was the Holocaust exhibit. This exhibit was intense as I guess you would expect it to be. They recommended you be at least fourteen years of age to even enter for good reason. I struggled reading some of the information. By the time I got close to the end of the exhibit I had seen all I could have and left without looking at the rest. The part that really got to me was how they would perform medical experiments not caring if the people lived or died. I just don’t understand how anyone could bring themselves to do that. It is definitely not something I enjoy thinking about but is good to be education about.

We got through the exhibit just in time as the museum was closing in fifteen minutes. We headed to the tube for our lengthy journey home. The rest of the evening I spent getting things done and preparing to go to Liverpool/Manchester the next day before calling it a night.
