Today was my first European Capital Markets Class, and I like my professor a lot. He admits that the class will be difficult, yet feasible. Also, he is very alert and animated, and this helps to make the class go faster. I have a ton of reading, and I'm having trouble finding time to do it.
After class, Eugene and I walked along the street of embassies to Diana's Cafe along Hyde Park. It was weird to see so many photos of her on the walls, especially because I have never known anyone who knew her. After lunch, we went to Kensington Palace where Queens Victoria, Margaret and Princess Diana lived. Queen Margaret kept one large section of the palace very plain and simple. However, the "King's and Queen's" sections of the palace were elaborately decorated. My favorite part was the beautiful gallery of Princess Diana's photographs taken by Mario Tostani, when she dressed in evening gowns and sat on a white couch in a white room. He explains in the audio tour that he encouraged her to be carefree and happy, and chat with him as if he was the only person who would ever see her in this moment. The result was a very honest and intimate depiction of Princess Diana, as if you were sitting there next to her. It was also great to see the display of her dresses.
Afterward, my flatmates sang Happy Birthday to my flatmate's boyfriend for his 21st birthday. Also, we are in the process of setting up spring break and travel plans.
