More pics

Another Friday's here... generally people look forward to Friday - including myself - but now I just don't want it to come along.
I must be the laziest person in the world. Really.
I'm just tired, you know? Yesterday Paula and I had a few pints in a pub in The City. We left the place at 10pm, 10:15pm at most, got home one hour later and I just couldn't keep on watching TV or listening to music or even drinking some more. I went to sleep after smoking a couple of cigarettes downstairs. I was yawning so much that I thought I would fall asleep in the sidewalk.
Needless to say that this morning I didn't want to wake up. Paula woke me up at 8am (this is usually the time I LEAVE to go to school) and I still had to take a shower and wash my hair. All I wanted to do was to sleep until noon. I haven't done it for a long time...

I might get an extra job during the week. It's at the same hotel but I would be working for room service. Night shift, Monday to Friday. If possible I would keep both jobs until December and then in January I would continue with the weekday-job. I'm not sure if it's happening or not, let's keep our fingers crossed!

Today was Katherine's last day at school. I took a pic of everybody. From left to right: Katherine (Switzerland), Donna, Esther, Julie (Sweden), Evan, myself and Phillipe (France).



Next week our class will be split. The school is going to create an advanced class with students from my classroom (me and Phillipe) and the best students from upper-intermediate. The others will continue with the CAE preparation. I'm kinda pissed, you know? First our best teacher leave us, then we have to get used to another person and now they decide to split the class. I don't know, but depending on the teacher and the class I'll be back to the CAE. However, if the general English turns out to be more intersting, I might stay. I don't know yet.
I just know that Eva is totally pissed and we talk about this everyday after the class id finished. I wish it'd been better organized.

I left school and went to Tesco to buy me some lunch. I could have taken the tube home, but I felt like taking bus 2. I started taking some pics on my way home. Let's start with the bus I was in. I was in the upper-deck of the famous London double-decker bus and I was the only one upstairs (as bus 2 end-of-line is at Baker Street stn, only a few blocks away from my school).





The bus goes along Baker Street until Oxford Street and then it takes Park Lane and goes around Hyde Park. I miss taking this bus to school only because of the Hyde Park. It's so good to listen to some music and see all that green in front of you.







What the hell is T1 doing over there???



This is the type of bus stop here. They all tell you which zone you are (well, if you don't have an idea of the zone you are after one week in London, man, you've got a problem), which buses stop there, the name of the place (for example, this one is near the Hyde Park Corner) and the boroughs towards where you're going. In the high streets, Oxford Street for instance, you have a lot of them all together and they usually put together all the buses that are going to the same place. So make sure the number is written up there, otherwise you'll wait for hours for a bus which won't stop and you'll get pissed with the bus driver.



As Paula and Ethan are planning on moving, I'm in charge of taking pics of the house. Do you see that blue thing in front of one the houses? That's Ethn's motorcycle - never riden on it - and our home is on the 3rd floor, so it's the one without the round windows. Do you see the satellite dish? That's the living room - where I'm in right now writing this - and the window on the left (which you can barely see) is my bedroom.



Who feels like working tomorrow morning???
(crickets making noise...)

The T1 thing, if you look at the back of the bus in that picture, you can see "T1" written. It's a sightseeing bus, but it's still T1, right?
Nope, never heard from your friend. I see "jefferson" written all over it!
