It's less than a month until our program is over, and lately I have been getting attacks of American cravings. I'll be sitting in art history class when suddenly all I can think about is Taco Bell. I don't even like Taco Bell. I'll walk down the street to the tube and suddenly an urge for Denny's overcomes me. I'm having a hard time escaping these cravings to drive a car, go to a mall, pay less than $40 for a meal out. So tonight to address these longings, Apryll and I went to eat at the Texas Embassy, a Tex-Mex restaurant on Trafalgar Square. The food wasn't quite like back in Oklahoma, but we felt at home in the restaurant. It's strange how just being in a place with a Mexican flag on the wall and tortilla chips makes me miss the good things of America less.
Although it feels like we've been here hardly any time, finals are just around the corner. I only have one paper, a presentation and three finals left before I'm done with the semester (and undergrad). Still, I have a fairly busy schedule for these last weeks. Wednesday will be perhaps the greatest day of my semester (and life). I have a ticket to watch West Ham United play Chelsea -- watching a premier league game has always been a dream of mine. Then on Saturday, I'm going to Brighton for a day trip with my school. The following Friday is the last day of class and Saturday is a day trip to Warwick Castle.

You must be getting delirious if you crave Taco Bell. The pound hit $2 yesterday. Not many tacos per pound. Enjoy the game.
Ha. I almost ate at the Texas Embassy, but decided I was too proud an Okie.
No matter how much you begin to crabe American food, DO NOT risk the Chili's at Canary Wharf.
There's an excellent fried chicken place a block or so from the Eye.
*crave, not crabe.
