"Hoard toilet paper. You understand me? Hoard it. Hoard it, like it's made of gold."

It's 2014, the sixteenth day of the second month of 2014 to be exact, and Chuck was right.
The apocalypse may not yet have begun, but Supernatural fans, be prepared!

It's a Sunday night here in East London & I haven't been to the shops in a bit. Tissues were the first thing I ran out of, then food, & now I'm on my last roll of toilet paper... Oh the joys of adulthood! (SEMI-adulthood - I refuse to believe I have reached a point where I have to worry about impending taxes & career choices) I think we're attempting the trek to Tesco tomorrow, seeing as last time we got half-way & gave up. Food isn't the only thing I'm running low on, fitness is becoming a problem.

Today we revisited the lovely, unique streets of Camden & ate our way around the markets, after last night's clubbing adventures. We left the city last night with sandwiches & at least six litres of water between the five of us, because apparently Macca's in the city closes at 11:45pm - an absolute injustice in my opinion! Second only to the catastrophe that is public transport after a night out. Unlike New York, London does sleep, a lot.

We wandered around the market stalls, looking for the grilled cheese - mac & cheese place, but it was nowhere to be found, so we settled for Chinese take-out & fries, followed by gourmet donuts, followed by deep-fried mars bars & snickers, followed by a quip about rechecking gym class prices...

If I can be a little more organised (I have an assignment due on Tuesday, let's not talk about it), my next video will hopefully be a study abroad check list of sorts. I want to compile snippets of us talking about the little unexpected things we have learnt along the way, things that we still find baffling, & everything else in between. It might be ready for youtube soon, or it might not happen at all, so don't expect too much!

The most incredible rainbow I have ever seen - the photo does not do it justice!
We also visited the British Museum & the Tate Modern this week, which were wonderful! The British Museum is definitely more than just a morning stop & I can see us returning there many times!

I'm off to reheat some vegetarian lasagna - I'll put the recipe up for that soon! xo
