Today was the third day of my "Jack the Ripper" course here at Westminster, and I have to admit I'm a little disappointed we haven't learned about any murders. We've been focused quite a lot on the Victorian period and early establishment of London as a whole, so we seem to be skipping the focus of the actual class. Believe it or not, this is actually a common complaint, being as the girl next to me asked why we hadn't studied or explored the issue of "gutted prostitutes from 1888" yet--I consider my complaint a tad more sensored in comparison.

| Taking in some colorful scenery on my run in the park today |
After class my friend, Brooke, and I decided we wanted to run in the park nearest to my dorm. It's actually gigantic and a little overwhelming, so we both took our little phones with us to make sure we could call for help in case we got lost (we might never have been found otherwise). However the run was successful, and we even managed to find the most adorable garden right in the middle.

We were both pretty hungry after showering and putting ourselves back together again, so we headed down the street to see what we could find for lunch; lunch being a vague term, because at this point it was probably 3:30 p.m. After heading down one of the main streets, Baker, we ended up finding what looked like it should have been a frozen yogurt store, with squiggly pink writing across the front of the glass window. Instead, to our delight, it ended up being one of the most adorable salad stops we had made yet called Tossed. Brooke got a massive Caesar Salad with who-knows-what inside, while I stuck to the most fantastic Greek Salad I've ever had, God himself could not have made it more perfect. Just another meal in fabulous London.
