The celestial bodies have often been used for navigational purposes. The moon is used by trackers, the north star was used by escaping slaves, and the sun is used by me when I don't have any clue where I'm going. Whether or not the sun gives me a clue is an entirely different question. These celestial bodies also provide unique insight on whether or not one is located in the wonderful city of London. The method is two-fold:
(1) Look up to the sky. If neither the sun, moon, or stars are visible your probability of being in London is about 60%.
(2) Open your mouth, while still looking up. If rain falls into it, your odds of being in London have increased to about 95%.

This summarizes the weather of the week.

While in London, we've toured around the city, stopped by LSE and King's to get a feel for the campuses and learn about student's activities during the month of May and June. Next week, we'll be conducting our first surveys and hopefully generating some good discussions at different outreach events.

Personally, it feels incredibly different to be in London with a team, rather than being the individualistic person I normally am. Speaking of individualism, I'm sitting in the apartment alone. I just spent about two hours working on med-school research, while the rest of the group went exploring in Camden Market. I'll be there soon to replace the hipster beanie I lost, but I'm sad I'm not with our great group of people. Our great group has great conversations like the one below, that I shall end on before I leave to join our great group at a great park outreach. I should stop with the 'great's.

Sara (Bridges Staff and hilarious): What does the name, 'James' mean, So-cal? ('So-cal' is the name I've been given since I wear V-necks, hipster jeans, and plaid shirts)
Me: Truthful. Or something like that.
Sara: Nice. (Turns to Paige, our resident youngling-13 days younger than I-that oft receives jokes about her youth). What does your name mean?
Paige: I don't know. It's just Paige.
Me: (Confidently) It means, 'part of a greater story.'

Cheers for now :)
