~ Stage direction, The Winter's Tale, Act III Scene 3 (Shakespeare's most famous stage direction!) :)

Tuesday
On this day, I went in early to get some paperwork done (regarding some lost items in a certain stolen wallet). I ordered a new oyster card and took out a loan from my school to tide me over until I get my new ATM card. We had our weekly meeting (a day later than usual because of the holiday). Then I had a short class, which went well as usual. I love Novel class (even though it adds a bunch to my work load). Our prof is so nice and funny and I feel good afterwards (unlike with some of our other classes). After that, I did some homework, talked to people who were hanging out, and worked on my blog (that I posted earlier). Then I went with Jessica and Jenny (two girls in the program) to meet Jessica's parents (who are visiting) at a Greek restaurant near the Globe. It was tasty. mmm hmmm. Then we all walked along the river to the National Theatre to see Dido Queen of Carthage. It was an interesting play. A bit weird at times, but still a moving performance by the leads.

Wednesday
Today was another Wednesday. Theatre was as it always is. Britain Today was alright. For some reason I had a hard time staying awake during the first part of it, but I think I was just really tired. At the end we watched a clip from a Prime Minister's Questions (where, once a week, the British Prime Minister has to answer the rest of Parliament's question) that had been tapped (from when Blair was Prime Minister). It was pretty funny. And interesting. The Parliament here is cool, because they're all so into it. :) In the tape we saw, they were booing and cheering and all sorts of things. We all laughed a lot (including Martin). After that I went to dinner with some girls on our way to the theatre to see The Winter's Tale. The show was AMAZING. It was definitely Fringe theatre--it was staged in the basement of an office building. It's an intense play and the actors were all really good. And they did some interesting and surprising things--such as interactive stuff with the audience and new takes on characters. We all had SO much fun. It was great and totally worth being up too late.

P.S. I almost forgot... my oyster card came today! So quickly! yay!
