When Fordham makes an overnight trip mandatory, puts your professor in a nice hotel literally across the street from the train station (nice area), puts you and your six classmates in a hostel, won't pay for wifi, and chose the scariest and sketchiest area of the city (we walked past people doing drugs and three homeless shelters).
Thanks.

Just some photos from yesterday. We found this festival by the Thames that was free and so much fun.

She answered, slowly looking around to see if anyone was watching and inserted the coins requested.
"Hello?" She spoke softly, bewildered.
"Marry me?"

I'd have been upset about paying for the phone call.
Had some Korean grilled octopus (the waitress kept going "it's spicy" but it's really not) and a small scoop of green tea ice cream and some coffee before Big Ben and Parliament.
In love with this city already but the food is a little rough.
We had to use the stair truck in our arrival because all the gates were taken and I've never been so excited in my life.
