Bye bye Boston, hello Philadelphia!

Woke up painfully early today to get the train to Philadelphia! It was a five and a half hour journey, so Tom and I passed the time by playing monopoly!! It was a very competitive game and I won!!!!


When we got into Philadelphia we checked in to our hotel and then went straight out to explore! Our first stop was the Love park, where the iconic sculpture originated. 


We then went into the Reading Terminal Market for some dinner. It was the most amazing market, one of the best I've ever been to. There were all sorts of cuisines and loads of sweet shops and bakeries. I decided to have the Philly Cheesesteak, a sandwich that Philadelphia is famous for, and Tom had buffalo wings! We also bought an amazing apple and strawberry lemonade, some fruit for breakfast and some handmade chocolates. If you ever decide to visit Philadelphia you should definitely pay a visit to this market!! 




After the market we walked to the Independence Hall to see the liberty bell which was really interesting. 


Tomorrow we are going to the Philadelphia Zoo, which I'm really excited about as they have a lot of big cats!!

Today we got up fairly early and went for the hotel breakfast. I had fruit loops, which were super weird and Tom had dodgy doughnuts!!  We went into the city and our first stop was Obama's place! Obviously Barack didn't get the memo that we were in town so sadly missed out on meeting us.  After seeing the White House we walked to Union station, with a bit of retail therapy and lunch on the way! I got a pretty top from Forever 21! We had lunch in Pret, I had a California club sandwich and Tom had a New York Meatball wrap!!  We got to the station and boarded our vessel for the DC duck tour! The captain was called Captain Bucky and he was hilarious, he told us a funny joke to do with porridge when we told him we were from Norwich!! The tour was awesome, a really great way to see all of DC's monuments and memorials and learn things about them in the process! There is definitely an added excitement when you get on to the water, although it was a bit scary when Captain Bucky let

Worst Lecture Ever!

Friday began at 11, with a Meteorology lecture that I was (as always) late to. However I only missed a bit of recap so it was all good. During the lecture we learnt about the First Law of Thermodynamics, and there was a lot of maths involved. I still managed to follow it all though which was nice. After the lecture I rushed back home quick as my lil legs could carry me! I had a couple hours break and wanted to make the house look nice for when Tom arrived that evening. I literally spent the whole of my break tidying the kitchen and it didn't look like I'd even touched it, it was so messy. At 2 I headed back into uni for two super fun hours of maths! The first was a Vector Calculus lecture with the lecturer that I really like. The maths is quite hard but he explains it all really really well and takes it nice and slow, he gets a big ol' thumbs up from me. However my second lecture couldn't have been further from the nice, well-explained maths we'd been doing pr
