An Olde Operating Theatre, a museum and the SUN! (a 3 day summary)

Classes have begun, and with that, a lot of my free time has gone away. Still, I've been lucky enough to still be going out to visit sites. Monday, we went out to the Olde Operating Theatre, an old hospital and operating theatre where surgeons used to perform surgeries such as amputations. Now it is a museum with all of the tools of the craft. Day after that, we went to the Tate Museum to see some paintings. We went into an exhibit called Pre-Raphaelites: Victorian Avant-Garde. I arrived at the museum early, with a group, so we got to check out some of the other art. I was surprised by how small the museum actually was, and I'm under the impression that I actually saw everything in the museum that day.
Something amazing happened today, the sun came out! As far as I've noticed, this is the first time the sun has come out since I've been here. I've been really busy with all of the class readings that've been assigned, so I probably won't be on again for a while until maybe the weekend when I have more of a chance to go out exploring. Till then, later!

Random thoughts on London. I find myself going out to buy food everyday. Whether it's pre-made or groceries.
The street signage here is driving me bonkers! They aren't high on street signs like in America or in the walls like Europe. There aren't many of them at all, and they're all at waist/leg level, so if a big crowd of people are standing in front of it, you can't see it. Makes it hard to navigate. Grah!
