ok

I went to the walk-in clinic yesterday about my stomach problem, and they told me it was anxiety. Anxiety about moving to another country, not being near my family, about school, etc. It's anxiety. Even though it was kind of aggravating to hear that it was something that I could control and I hadn't, it was good to know that it was anything super serious. Evidently when you become anxious your body produces a lot of adrenaline. Most people have anxiety at varying degrees, and deal with it in different ways, too. The doctor told me that if I exercise for 30 minutes a day, the adrenaline will come up through that and I won't feel super-anxious and sick. The adrenaline has been coming out of my body through making me sick. It didn't have anywhere else to go. Good to know, and if YOU didn't know about anxiety, now you do! That is your lesson for today :)

Needless to say I am doing much better just knowing what the problem is. I can fix it.

After the clinic, I got home and realized that I left my keys in the house, and Kendall had left to go to Oxford Street and the V&A. So I met her at the V&A (Victoria and Albert Museum) and we looked around. It is huge! It's basically a history museum of objects. They do not have very many paintings. It was like stepping back into my Art History I and II text books. Pretty amazing. AND it just so happened that last night they had an event going on with their exhibit "Twilight". The exhibit was of photographs taken at dusk in various parts of the world by about 6 or 7 different artists. It was very interesting. After taking a photography course at Flagler last year, I was trying to figure out how they had such nice, clean exposures with hardly any light. It was as if you were standing in the dusk, too, when you looked at the photographs. The installation was creative. Each artist had their own small room, and the lights through the whole space were dimmed. It's a little difficult to explain. You should look it up on the V&A website.

Their partner for the event was Apple :) It was awesome! They had all their new huge screens out with the G5s. I was in heaven. I love my Mac! They had some computers set up printing out free photos from free "photo shoots". Kendall, Natalie, Megan, and I had our pictures taken against a Paris background. They had props, too! We had on black and white striped shirts, berets, and they had bread sticks! haha It was so funny! When I figure out how to get pictures on here, I will put it up :)

They also had a DJ there that would use songs off your iPod for the party. I forgot mine :(

Well, Tuesday we leave for Germany. It's going to be one crazy week! We are going to be so busy, but it is going to be fun! I will be taking lots of pictures, and when I figure out how to get pictures on here, I will put those up as well.

Take care all!
