My mornings are fairly similar now, although I&#8217;ve discovered the client I&#8217;m working at has a cafeteria in their building. While I feel like I should be &#8220;making more&#8221; of my time here, I can&#8217;t exactly take the morning off.<\/p>\n<p>Work has been going exceedingly well. We&#8217;ve finished what were thought to be the main portions well ahead of schedule. So&#8230; that&#8217;s good.<\/p>\n<p>Also, as much as I hate to admit it, I&#8217;m definitely sick. The last few days have been a drag, but it&#8217;s not affecting me overly much. In fact, today I went out to lunch with some of my temporary co-workers again. The food was excellent (as it should have been, considering the price), although prices widely varied from what I&#8217;m used to back home.<\/p>\n<p>I was boring again in the evening, mostly in part to being sick. Interestingly, the hotel has a spa which I finally checked out. By spa they mean a sauna and steam room, but it was still very nice. A hot tub would&#8217;ve been cool, though.<\/p>\n<p>Oh! The news has been very interesting, lately. In addition to the world news of Wikileaks and Julian Assange that I&#8217;ve been following closely, there were riots today in London. Students are protesting a rise in their college fees. At one point, the riots turned violent and property was destroyed, as well as the Prince&#8217;s car getting attacked (side note: the police are now under investigation for why the let the freaking Prince Heir Apparent get caught in a student riot).<\/p>\n<p>Interesting times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day 5 in London.
