Forgive me for how long it has been since my last post. I have done so much that I couldn't possibly get it all down in one post. So I will just note some of the highlights:
Last week we went to Stratford Upon Avon to visit that have to do with Shakespeare. We saw his Mom, Sister, and Doctors houses as well as his birthplace. It was all well and good but for the most part it was pretty underwhelming. It was just nice to get out into the country and away from the paved paradise of London. I think was healthy for the entire group. The best parts of the trip by far were the performances we saw while we were there. We saw Richard II and Henry IV part I which were both performed by the Royal Shakespeare Company and better performed than any of the plays we have seen thus far into our stay.
For the most part we have seen all of the tourist attractions around the city so we spend our time meandering around markets during the day trying to find cheap food/souvenirs. It is nice knowing that we have successfully escaped the freezing temps and blowing snow for warm, sunny days. We all just find our ability to walk around outside with no jacket a real blessing!
Classes are starting to wind down now as we only have about 2 weeks left in London! I can't believe how fast it has gone by and the amount of stuff that we have fit into such a short period of time. It really feels though, like the program should be done after London is done because it feels as though we have done a semesters worth of stuff! It is really crazy to think that we will not be done but just moving on to another 8 weeks program in a completely different country that doesn't speak English. It is going to be an interesting journey!
Sorry this has been such a short entry but I am kind of typed out between writing papers and keeping up with people through instant messaging. If you have any questions of comments feel free to comment on this entry. Miss you all!
