5 days of the program left. noooooooo...

Saw Windsor Castle on Friday with the group on a field trip. Lovely. The state apartments (seeing where the royal family hosts dinner parties, where previous royalty has lived and currently lives) and St. George's Chapel were the two highlights for me.
Saturday saw the Great Game- 12 short plays about Afghanistan. Glad I got through the day- but it was definitely a new experience. Theater from 11:30 AM- 10 PM. Favorite part was the dinner on Duke- had these amazing fry like potatoes and super sautéed veggies. And love having Duke provide us with wine, always a plus haha
Sunday- today- went to Windsor castle (Again) but with Matt this time (this trip was pre planned prior to knowing about friday's field trip!). We walked around the very nice town, got amazing coffee and chocolate and fudge! Than we went to Stonehedge- and saw stones. And went to Baths and saw some hot springs/baths and a cute town. And went home on a 3 hour bus ride. Was it worth it? Well HEYY I SAW STONEHENGE AND BATH. But, maybe not worth a trip back again... highlight of day: edamame from M&S and Britney Spears biography book for only 4 pounds. yup.
Sorry this blog is kind of incomprehensible... very exhausted.
My favorite plays I saw last week- afterall, I'm here for shows right? The Prince of Homburg at the small Donmar Warehouse- great acting and interesting story. Billy Elliot was a letdown- the cast was not up to par. Sister Act was just pure entertainment, glitter and show. LOVED Enron- really made me think out of the box. The Habit of Art back at the National- a play within a play, always a cool concept... ermm yes. That was week 5 of theater.

Night! xoxo
