On Wednesday, I went to the Inns of Court and the Royal Courts of Justice for our weekly field trip. It was really neat particuarly since we got to sit it on an actual court case. The English legal system dates back to the medieval times. It's incredible to think that some of the established traditions and legal procedures still remain today. For instance, the barristers, specialized attorneys, wear traditional long black robes and powdered horsetail wigs while in the courtroom.
It was back to work at my internship on Thursday. That was good. Then since I'm a devoted Mizzou tiger fan, I watched the Suite Sixteen game against Memphis at 1:30a.m. We won!! So, it was definitely worth being a little tired at work on Friday.
Yesterday, I finally went to the Imperial War Museum. The museum details the history of Britain's war involvement since World War I. The exhibits, particuarly the interactive exhibits, were fascinating. Two must-see exhibits are the WWI trench experience and the WWII Blitz Experience. After spending some time in the museum, I went back to my favorite part of London- Covent Garden. I wandered around there for awhile. Afterwards, I watched the Elite 8 game on my laptop. Sadly, UConn beat Mizzou. But, Mizzou actually made it to the Elite 8, and that's a big accomplishment considering how bad they were just last year.
Today, I walked around Westminister and Embankment Pier. I walked across the Millenium and Westminister bridges. I also saw a bunch of neat street performers and accidentally found a big video arcade. It was right near the London Aquarium and the London Eye- so big surprise in an area with lots of kids' activities, that there would be a video arcade, right? But, that was cool. So now, I have to work on a paper for my journalism class. Cheers!
