Brighton up your day!

Two very great things have happened this weekend so far. First, on Thursday night a bunch of us went to a random karaoke bar near our flat. We were having a lot of fun being silly singing songs like "Man, I Feel Like a Woman". A woman with a cropped blonde haircut and her friend got up to the mic and started singing "Never Had a Dream Come True", a classic 90's tune by S Club 7. Caitlin remarked that she sounded like... and looked like, Jo from S Club 7! It was like my childhood dream come true. She was nice enough to take a photo with us: proof that we met a semi-celebrity in London.



Today, the J-School took us on a trip to Brighton, a cute beach town on the English Channel. Thankfully it was the warmest day of the year so far! We spent all day lying on the rock beach and soaking up the sun. We also enjoyed fish and chips and drinks on the pier. At about 3:45, high tide came in and the rocks washed away to reveal a sandy beach. Even though the water was cold, we jumped in the waves and acted like little kids. IIt finally felt like summer, not just being in alternative reality.

Tomorrow hopefully we're going to Oxford... here's to hoping we find Hugh Grant!
