My favorite song at the moment is "Despacito" by Luis Fonsi.
I had a lot of fun this week at the Lego store in Leicester Square. I never thought about going there, but my little brother said the one thing he wanted me to bring him from England was a London-themed Lego set. It was pretty cool to see the huge Big Ben they had in the store. They even built a model of William Shakespeare out of Legos with a scroll that said, "To build or not to build." I thought this was pretty funny, considering "Hamlet" is my favorite Shakespearean play.
This week I finished reading Charlotte Brontë's "Villette" for one of my English classes. I really liked this novel because I related to the main character, Lucy Snowe, in a lot of ways. Lucy is a young woman from England who sets off for the city of Villette in the fictional kingdom of Labassecour. She goes off on her own to try and make a life for herself, and as a young woman studying abroad this semester, I came to really resonate with her. Also, the city of Villette was modeled after Brussels, Belgium, so it was really cool that I got to visit Brussels the same week I was reading "Villette."
I didn't end up playing any sports this week. According to the Health app on my phone, I've walked about 75,000 steps this week, so I don't feel too guilty for not playing any games. I am, however, really looking forward to watching a soccer (football) game in the near future.
