day 2- lse




its been a day and a half since i updated my bloggggyyyy poggyyyy with recent happenings straight from london.
well yesterday was a crazy day...in all sense of the word.
orientation and all.....tour of the LSE campus....!!!!! but CAMPUS???? man, its damn depressing ...the LSE CAMPUS...i mean there hardly IS any campus.......just three weirdly interconnected buildings with a lot of historic looking, monument-ish architecture crafted everywhere. whereas i expected a huge, some 100 acres campus with lush greeen gardens and stuff....but then , as someone rightly said..."what more do u expect in central london???""" true true...
view from my room
but then i must appreciate the multi storeyed library which inspired an awe in me...almost!!
keeping aside awe, it was also a "painful" day yesterday, given that we (me and kash) got lost in this place called High HOlborn when we were looking for a bust stop C, WB or X...we walked in a full circle (which we discovered later on) for around an hour when some kind gentleman helped us to the (most) desired stop. vaise, i HAve to say...london ppl are a little bit ignorant and unaware of their surroundings and have absolutely noo sense of direction when it comes to "rights" and "lefts" on streets and better...they are clueless about map reading...grrrrr....sometimes it seems to me that i am as lost in this city as these londoners are themselves. but the almost one hour hunt for a bus stop did me some good at least....i WALKED!!!! and this says a lot...;););) to say it explicitly, i think i am definitely going to be getting thin given that
a) i have to walk A LOT
b) i get no food to eat
all i had in the whole day yesterday was two slices of bread, a glass of milk, an ice cream cone and an apple pie....*sniffs*
i have been comparitively luckier today in the sense that i happened to bump into this departmental store selling indian buffet, a little costly, but ANYTHING for indian food..lolz
my classes started today, sorry...lectures. three hours straight...and guess what...i didn't fall asleep!!!!! :) it was pretty intersting and we already have "home work" to do!!!!
going to rest for while now....loads of shopping awaits me in the evening!!!!:):):)
