Covent Garden wanderings

So, today is being spent doing loads and loads of work. I need to:
- make notes on the social constructivism of human rights
- prep an essay on whether the sociological attempt to explain and understand perpetration of atrocities requires exoneration (I'm saying NO)
- read two articles in French on Sarkozy's promises and summarize them for a presentation
- prep a presentation on Mozambique's reconciliation process, which consisted of traditional spiritual healing techniques rather than tribunals.

And this is all needs to be finished by Tuesday or Wednesday!! This is not even counting the other essays and notes I have to do. Ick.

But, I did take a study break earlier this afternoon to wander around my Covent Garden neighbourhood. I popped in to a few stores to browse, bought cheese at Neil's Yard Dairy (scrumptious! and the boy who served my wasn't too shabby either), and got a latte from the infamous Monmouth Coffee Company. De-lish!

And at least I can look forward to next weekend, when I'm off to Brussels and Aachen (Germany) to the Christmas markets of those two cities. I'm going with my friend Stacey, with a tour company, so we're going by coach bus to Brussels and staying there, then doing a day trip to Aachen. Can't wait! And then I'm back in London for 3 days to work my ass off, and then I fly home to Canada to see all of YOU!! 

Are y'all excited? :-)
