I visited the Courtauld Gallery for a lesson in impressionism. Of course, no photo could do a Monet proper justice.

Day 73
Day 72
Maybe I’m just a sucker for a sunshine but this spring weather never fails to put me in a great mood. Even after waking up for a 6 am flight back to London, the blue skies waiting for me made me as chipper as ever!
Day 71
Happy St. Paddy’s Day! Having been celebrating on the Emerald Isle for a few days now, I didn’t think the town could get more festive for the holiday. Boy was I wrong! By morning, the streets of Dublin were flooded with green for the city’s their annual parade (that’s surely not doing it justice). The best part of the day was learning some Irish River dancing moves from Nancy, an adorable little old lady. Never been more proud of my Irish roots!
Bucket List, check!
Day 69
Corned Beef! Having two midwesterners on the trip, finding the perfect Irish CornedBeef was Saturday’s mission. After asking a few locals we ended up at O’Neil’s for an amazzzinggg meal.
Day 68
Ahoy Ireland! My roommates and I are in Dublin for the weekend to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day! On our first day we went to the beautiful Cliffs of Moher. They were absolutely breathtaking and gave us a chance to see Ireland coast-to-coast. More pictures to come in my travel post 🙂
Day 67
I had a blast at Martin Creed’s What’s the point of it? exhibit at the Hayward Gallery . His pieces spanned across all medias and begged viewers to question their own standards of “art”. Each piece was thought provoking (and hilarious) but definitely not for the squeamish. Here’s a picture of me in a big balloon pit! That was my favorite part 🙂
Day 66
Woke up to a foggy morning, and prepared for a cold, wet day. To my surprise, once I got to class the sun was shining making an eery “sunshine fog”. Made for a cool picture!
Day 64
Now presenting Lady Dinah’s Cat Emporium! After launching a kick starter campaign a couple of months back, Lady D’s finally opened in Shoreditch. It’s like any other tea house but this one has cats running around for you to play with! I’m not much of a cat person but when I knew my feline-loving friends were coming to town I booked the first appointment available. Lucky for me because now they’re booked till May!
Needless to say the day was a huge success!
Day 63
We spent another beautiful Sunday soaking up rays at the Columbia Flower Market and Regent’s Park! The best part was walking through the streets listening to local artists’ music. Our day’s grand finale was floor seats at an Ellie Goulding concert. Woohooooo
