Firealarm, exam and things to do on Sundays

During the last weeks, my reading rythm has been severely damaged by the frequent fire alarms here at Francis Rowley Court. To my extreme pleasure, I discovered last night at 0.30 at the new alarm system implemented in our rooms is a local one. The result was that when someone, somewhere lit a cigarette, smoke came into my room (I couldn't sense a thing). the alarm went off, in our flat only. So now we have two different systems that are capable of annoyance... Great! Well, at least we'll notice a fire. Or will we...? I seriously considered to ignore the alarm Sunday morning and take a shower instead. I'll probably do so next time. So much for safety, I guess!
In a break on Sunday, Leif and I went to the Old Spitafield Market and Brick Lane. It was really nice, take a look at the pictures below!


Above:I walk past this mosaic every day on my way to school. Really nice!

Above: In Spitafield market, Leif and I suddenly walked into a concept car exhibition. Cool!


Above: The Wool and fruit exchange


Above: One of the more obscure street musicians I've ever seen...


Above: Leif doesn't seem too unhappy when Beate (in the background) is cooking. Please ignore the wine glass...


Above: Artillery Arms, conveniently located between Leif's apartment and Cass.


Above: I guess I HAD to show a red phone booth sooner or later...


Above: Nice contrast between new and old buldings


Above: Mr Crepes, right....


Above: View from 3rd floor at school. The library can be spotted on 1st floor, and our beloved tables on 2nd.


Above: "Two for a fiver, two flowers for a fiver!"


Above: The Smithfield meat market. According to the legend, the spot where you see a blue car is the place they tortured and killed William "Braveheart" Wallace (FREEDOOOOOM!!!, quote Mel Gibson)


Above: Due to annoyance level at Francis Rowley, other living quarters are considered...


Above: Something tells me this is a multicultural neighbourhood (Brick Lane)


Above: England's tallest living quarters; Barbican Tower


Above: For some reason, I HAVE to walk through this park before every exam... (superstitious, ME??) This is also the location of the mosaic in the first picture.

I had an exam in Shipping Investment and Finance today. I think it went fairly well. I never really know before they return it... Anyway I won't fail, which means that another brick in the wall is in place. Jej! I seriously look forward to having a job again. I miss the days when I could turn off my brain when I return from the job (OK, I guess I'll never be fully able to do that...), and to have weekends without feeling I ought to be reading. Oh, glorious September! :D
