I should be midsummer night dreaming myself.

figuratively. Because it's not midsummer. at all. It was cold and wet and because I wanted to look cute i did an idiot thing and wore flats in the slushy mcRain. like I said, idiot.

So.... story time, even though I should be in bed. (It's 12:30 am here)

We got up at seven twenty to leave by 8:15. And then we were late, by we I mean I, because Sara and I went shopping last night and got food to make sandwiches. We had to get up early to make them, and didn't, so that made us later. OHHHH I slept through the night last night! Yay! Okay, so we left at 8:30. We got to the station, and then found out that our line was cancelled, from the stop just before us to about 4 stops down. So then we followed everyone else who couldn't catch the train up to catch the bus, no. 125. Waited for about ten mintues, it came, and then As soon as we got on the driver was like "This bus terminates at the next stop". So then we had to wait for another bus to take us to Finchley Central. the 82. Did it, got to Finchley Central. Then we were able to get on the Northern Line and Head into town. So I rode one of the double decker buses! woot. But we were about 45 mintues late. That was great.

So I had shakespeare, and got to meet jean, she's hilarious. For the afternoon I tromped around with David, Jenny, Colin, Sarah, Rollie, and Maureen, and we met up with Rollie, Jenny, and Colin's friend Amelia, who has been here about a month. So we went down to this coffee shop "Pret a Manger" or "Perk a Manger" or something. They are everywhere! Amelia told me that HP7 will be filming at Tottenham Court Road in a few weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ahhh!!!!! Gotta go do that if I can swing it. We also went down to Covent Garden, which was lovely, and saw DRURY LANE!!!!!!!!! I took a picture. I also navigated my way from Covent Garden to Leicester Square to find the art store we went to on the first day. I Did, and got a few Moleskin Notebooks. allelujah.

Got back to school, had class, Sara and I went back to the art store and then dinner at this Rotissere Place, and then..... ROYAL SHAKESPEARE COMPANY!!!! The theatre was gorgeous, the sets was cool. It was all mirrors or reflective material. The Faires became bushes and brambles and stuff, very fun. Im keeping a theatre Journal. So oh well. But! first show in London.

Tomorrow we go to the British Museum and then To the TOWER OF LONDON.

It's inductions at school tomorrow. PLU school, not AHA school. I'm looking forward to pictures and things. I think I'm going to try to ont be on the computer as much. I will still blog, but maybe not check facebook as compulsively.....?

loves and Penna Hoc.
