DAY 34. and stuff.

Class. Lunch. Wrote a paper. National Gallery with Amy. Saw the sexy Shakespeare portrait. Saw some van Eyck. Got kicked out again because it closes at 6. Found Patrick randomly. Ate some Italian food. Went to see Flare Path as a class but the tickets were never ordered. Me and Patrick saw 39 Steps instead and got to sit in a box. Home. Blogging.
