We've been keeping ourselves quite busy lately. Here are the highlights of last week:
- Kyle took two exams. He only has one remaining exam, which is scheduled for Tuesday. He plans to spend the rest of summer aimlessly wandering around our apartment talking about how great it is to be done with school while I toil away on my dissertation, fighting the urge to punch him.
- Kyle got stuck on a bus because a group of Russian dudes were fighting in front of the exit. Not good.
- Someone asked me how to get to King's Cross Station while I was standing in (you guessed it!) King's Cross Station, in front of large sign that read "King's Cross."
- I finished my internship, for which I was paid three lunches, a five-week bus pass and a bottle of champagne. They asked me to stay for the rest of the summer for more substantial pay, which I accepted.
- Kyle almost had it out (again) with the electronic checker at the grocery store. It kept telling him to remove his "unexpected items from the bagging area," while he threatened to show it some "real unexpected items."
- Our friend Guillaume celebrated his birthday.
- My professors finally called off their assessment strike. Maybe I'll finally get some of my coursework back from second term.
- We walked two miles to that crepe stand we can't shut up about.
- Some little event called "The World Cup" started. Apparently, Europeans love it as they won't shut up about it. ;) Did you know the US has a professional soccer team that's competing? I didn't until last week!
- During an ice-cream-related outing to McDonald's, we saw an altercation ensue over burned apple pie and getting two McNuggets more than the fuming customer paid for.
- A little munchkin celebrated her third birthday with a party in the US.
That crepe stand is worth walking 2 miles for! We should have walked the time we went to use up some of the calories we consumed.

10.
The customer should have explained that he was trying to watch his figure and the McDonald's employee should take two Chicken McNuggets and shove them up their ass.
p.s. (If you don't get it don't ask, you don't want to know.)

I ordered a small drink with half diet coke, half regular coke. Then I went home and worked on my rock hard tasty abs, wonder boy style.
