Today was a pretty good day at Harlaxton. Today was a class day, so I had a lot of free time to just relax and enjoy the beautiful day. First I had to get up at eight for class at nine. I got some breakfast, which mainly consisted of eggs and then got ready for the day. Class went by pretty fast actually and was quite good. We had to read some short stories the day before, so we spent a good chunk of the time talking about those. We also discussed some poetry and our professors told us the details about tomorrow’s trip to York.

Afterward, a few friends and I decided to play croquet as the weather was quite nice. I played horribly, but so did everyone else unsurprisingly. My friend Lorenzo ended up beating us most of the rounds but I got one win. We ended up playing for much longer than any of us ever expected and did not finish playing till around 4:30ish. Next up we had dinner which was quite lovely. I took a little time after this to work on a paper due in a few days but ended up procrastinating and getting barely anything done.

A few friends and I decided to order some pizza and watch a movie. We spent more time deciding what movie to watch than we should have but eventually chose one. We ended up watching “This is the End” which was okay but nothing too spectacular. Finally, I got ready for bed and played a few games of Super Smash Bros with by roommate. He absolutely dominated me most of the time, but I got a few good hits in. Once I got in bed, I watched some Brooklyn 99 on my phone before getting some rest and preparing for the next day and our trip to York. Overall, it was another great day at Harlaxton and was a blast.

Today was quite the day. When I got up, I did not have much time until it was time to get on the bus for the town of Bath. The bus ride was around two and a half hours but did not feel that long at all. Bath was obviously much smaller than London but seemed decently big. All of the buildings we passed by seemed quite old, and the roads were quite small too. By the time we all got off the bus, it was probably around 11:30 AM. We walked down the small streets until we arrived at the park. The park was small and consisted mainly of just an open field where we sat down to have our sack lunches. Lunch went by quite quickly, and then they had us on the move again as we walked towards the center of town. As we got closer and closer to our destination, it got more crowded. Then we turned a corner, and a square with a massive cathedral came into view. Our destination was not the Cathedral though, it was the roman baths next to it. I walked around the baths in Bath. Looking at the ancient baths and the ruins of the once-great Roman structure was fascinating. Afterward, a few friends and I had a few hours to spare and spent them walking around the city of Bath.

We went to a small café, got some ice cream, and generally just enjoyed the excellent weather as we walked around to town. After a few hours, we were back on the bus for London. Once back, a few friends and I decided to go get some food at a Korean BBQ restaurant. Every table had a grill on it, and you had to cook your food yourself. It was a lot of fun being able to talk to a bunch of friends while cooking the meat yourself. After, we walked around London for a little bit and got some ice cream. Finally, we headed home exhausted and played a few rounds of foosball before going to bed. Overall it was a great day, and one of the most memorable I have had in England so far.
