The Schedule (dun, dun, dun, dun...)

Well, I know you have all been anxiously awaiting this moment and here it is... my finalized class schedule! w00t! :P

Britain Today (Wednesday 2-5pm)
Shakespeare the Dramatist (Monday 10-11:30am, Thursday 9:30-11am)
Theatre: Audience and Society (Wednesday 10-1pm)
19th and 20th Century British Novel (Monday 3-5pm, Tuesday 1-2pm)

Woohoo! Britain Today is the required class that everyone takes, the theatre classes I have always planned on taking (how could one not study Shakespeare while in London?!), and the Novel class is the one I was iffy on. Even though I really enjoy reading, I don't want to spend all my time doing that while I'm here. However, I really liked the professor and her first class, so I was convinced to take it. I hope I don't regret it... I like all the subjects--I just hope I don't get bogged down by a ton of school work like I do when I'm at PLU. I will have a lot of reading to do, but I can get some of it done on the tube or in nice little cafes (like I did yesterday).

What a rainy, rainy day it was today! My feet are wet! :P I am SO sad that (after I put the forethought into actually bringing them!) my rain boots have a crack in them. Today I wore my brown Lands' End shoes that dad helped me find last year, which are nice but not waterproof at all. My socks were SOAKED by the end of the day. I hope I find (affordable) boots soon. Really soon.

Three thoughts for today: (sometimes I have many thoughts) :)

• The milk here tastes sweeter than ours. I don't know why. Maybe that's why I'm eating more cereal here... it's probably also because I've been eating smaller lunches, so I need sustenance until then! But, since I've never put sugar on my cereal, it is funny to have my cereal taste a little sweet.
• I don't know why, but I find it quite amusing that the sinks here have one tap for cold water and one for warm. In some places this means that you can only have ice cold water and (after it warms up) scalding hot water. But some sinks (like in our bathroom) have more medium temperatures. :)
• Oh, and it is okay here to jump the curb when you park. At least, I've seen a lot of cars parked that way. I guess it's because the streets are so narrow. It would be mad to try to fit four whole car widths into one street--sometimes it's hard enough to fit one or two!

So, I have now had my first day of classes. And we have two plays this week. Tomorrow we see a play called Private Lives and the next day we see Othello. I'm so excited! Now we're really off! ;)

P.S. I almost forgot to mention my Triumph for the day. I finally got to a post office! Yay!
