"Brief" diary from London, part II

I'm writing this in English so that the English excange students can understand this too.

Hello! Today is the last evening with the English people here in Stockholm. It has been a really good time, but I'll write more about that later. Here is the second part of my diary from London.

Tuesday
At work I spent an unhealthy amount of time on Facebook and Wikipedia (again). I also started reading some xkcd, they are really great. Anyway, in the evening we went to the check-up meeting at St.Michael's school. We listened to the slightly excentric Paul Ward who told us about something. Well, he mostly gave information to the English students. We also talked some to our Swedish teachers, Anki and Mats. After the meeting we went to a gig in Camden, there were four bands playing: ___ , Hot Melts, Cantebury and This City. They were all pretty good but they took too long time between them.

Wednesday
I finished reading all of the xkcd comics and started to read Cyanide and Happiness (no I didn't do anything useful at work). Well, thanks to some phonecalls and Craig's mum Carol, I managed to book tickets for the Lion King on the Lyceum Theatre which we went to the same evening. We were 12 people there and the show was truly amazing! I had a big smile on my face from the first second until I went to sleep (that's pretty tiring for your facial muscles acctually).

Thursday
This was probably the most exciting day at work (oh yeah I fell asleep on the train today again). First my teachers Anki and Mats came and visited my workplace and I talked to them some. Then Carol and I went over to Bloomberg right across the square to visit a man called Michael. He showed us around in their building, which was really different from regular offices. It had a lot of open spaces, glass walls, a food place where you could eat whatever you wanted. I also visited one of their TV-studios in the basement and watched some people record news in French. Later in the evening Craig, I and some of the others went to a pancake restaurant since we had missed pancake day when we went to the gig. I had a really big pancake with cinnamon, ice cream, bananas and syrup. Craig had a margaritha pizza (yes it was really strange).

Friday
Last day at work (woho!), Steve (I think that was his name) brought doughnuts from Krispy Kreme. They were really nice (I want them to come to Sweden). I got a nice certificate for my work experience. This was also the only day I took the train all the way back to Potter's Bar instead of going anywhere directly. We ate some dinner and then we went to meet the others in Finchley I think. They were buying some to drink (wheres here, some is an understatement). When went to Orlas's house but the others found out they weren't allowed to drick there so they went for a walk with their martini and whiskey and stuff. At Orla's we started watching The Dark Knight but then later switched to playing twister (which resulted in both nice and horrible views).

Saturday
When I woke up, I took a shower had some breakfast and packed. Craig had already gone to work so at about lunchtime, after I had spent even more time on the computer, Carol and I picked Craig up from work. We ate lunch at nice little restaurant. I had pasta, it was great. We then gathered at St.Michael's. After som goodbye-hugs (and Erik being completely molested) we started our journey home. We had just finished a amazing week in London and even though we were a little sad about leaving we knew that we would see each other again in two weeks.

That was all, hope you find it interesting. I will write the Stockholm diary soon.

"How am I supposed to leave you now
When you're looking like that?
I can't believe what I just gave away
Now I can't take it back
I don't wanna get lost
I don't wanna live my life without you
How am I supposed to leave you now
When you're looking like that?"
