I started this last week before I left London, but homework ate my life.
Another week gone by...
...and less than one more to go. For awhile I've been saying that I really like it here, but that I'm ready to go home. However, as Saturday looms closer and my departure to Scotland approaches, I can't help but feel SO sad. I think I fell in love over here. This city is incredible, and I don't know how I'm going to leave...
With that being said, I have a whole week to catch you up on. Hopefully I'll be able to get it all down, so we'll see.
I left off at last Saturday. To tell you the truth, I don't remember what i did during the day (whihc probably means I did a lot of homework), but at night I had soooo much fun hanging out with some of my new favorite people. Our common room was full of music, laughter, and just enough amount of fun to make a night at home one of the best I've had here!
Sunday Natalie and I decided to brave Harrod's! That store is HUGE. It is full of some of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. When I had to walk about without my Christian Louboutin heels, Galliano gown, La Perla lingerie, and Carier diamonds, I think I left a little of my soul there. (Just kidding!) (Well, mostly.) We decided that instead of getting a legitimate lunch, we would just head to the giant food halls for some warm pastries from their giant bakery. You know, the one past the oyster bar, the pizzeria, the gelato stand, the deli, the candy shop, the chocolate bar, you get the picture. But it's a department store!!! Out. Of. Control.
On Monday morning, our English class was reserved for those students who had not passed the GWR, which meant I didn't have to go. In addition, Josh canceled his theatre class, offering na trip to the Tate Britain Museum for anyone who wants to go. As per usual, the museum was full of amazing things, but my favorite I think would have to be the life-size airplane sculptures, one completely upside-down on its back and the other hanging by it's tail fromt he ceiling so the nose is about 18 inches off the ground. I think I'm a little bit of a Daddy's girl. (Hi Dad!) Monday night we saw Through A GLass Darkly about a woman named Karyn who descends into schizophrenia while on vacation with her brother, her husband, and her father. I had been looking forward to this play for awhile, but although every else seemed to race about it, it was definitely not my favorite. I will admit, though, that the set and the space were incredible. And it was definitely a complete loss because I got to see the King's Head Theatre, which is the pub theatre that inspired Jeff to dream up owning an establishment of the same kind in the future.
The end of my trip was amazing. I met more wonderful people, including the bartenders and owner of the pub thee Queen's Arms near our flat. I saw Legally Blonde the musical from the FRONT ROW. It was amazing. I went on an adventure with Natalie and Jill to work on a project aka a present for you Mom and Dad. If you'd like to hear more about my last two weeks, I will tell you all about it when I get back!
