yesterday we took 421 kids to london and returned with all of them!  whoopie!  it was tiring - the loading of buses and unloading and then loading again at the end of the day.  the teachers take the kids around during the day, so i was actually able to do whatever i wanted for a couple hours.  i went to the imperial war museum, read my book in st. james park, wandered around, and ate dinner with coworkers at a yummy indian restaurant.  good day.

today marks (incredibly) the midpoint of the program for the students!  in two weeks they'll be out of here and we'll be closing up shop for another year.  for those who are counting, delta.com informs me that i'll be home in 17 days and that i have a window seat.  yesssss.
