quick thought

Wish I had more time to update. I don't right now but I have so much to tell, not enough time. Keeping myself very busy, only 5.5 more weeks left and SO much to do! Therefore, I'm just jotting some things down and hopefully will come back to this blog.

I'll breeze over the 2 plays we saw. War Horse at the New London Theater. Go see it. Amazing. You can't help but to find yourself falling in love with the horse and the relationship between Albert and Joey. It makes use of your imagination- something you may have even forgotten you had. Though the show was adapted based from a kid book, this play intrigues everyone. You forget that the horse is, just a puppet (but handled by 3 amazing in-sync people who create real horse movements). I won't ruin the ending for you but I can say it was a REAL tearjerker!

Last night we saw The White Guard at the National Theater. The most magnificent sets I have ever seen! You felt as if you were in the house with them. The set covered the entire stage and was just so detailed and real. However, I didn't like the plot and I found myself hunched in my chair covering my eyes the whole second act. I didn't know what was going on and all I know is that there were the loudest explosions I have ever heard in my life. They were also too real for comfort.

This morning Jonathan Cullen came to our class to teach us how to read Shakespeare. It was one of the most fun classes I ever had. We just acted out the lines in a sonnet and acted and it was great. We are seeing him in Love the Sinner tonight!! How crazy.

After class I walked around the streets of London alone for about an hour, getting lost. I found a street with jewerly stores galore, and other streets with a ballet school, a mini street market and a very cute shoe store. It's so exciting that you never know what you will find when you walk the streets, each street has something new and different to be seen. But, I did get lost so I ended up getting back later than I planned.

Off to the Tate Museum with the group (those who want to come) and then we will be back at the National Theater tonight to see Love the Sinner. Hopefully, we'll stay out in that area and go to a pub with the group. So mom and dad, don't expect me on skype tonight (which means i'm out having fun).

Signing out, xoxo
