Just a regular week in London

Hi All,

So Monday night I went to the theatre to see Endgame. If you ever get the chance to see it…DON’T! Stay at home, wash your hair, do some dishes, spring clean, do just about anything but see that play. It was very boring with no intermission. I actually slept through most of it, which is saying a lot because I love the theatre.

On Tuesday I had a full day of class. We went to the London Film School and saw 2 short films made by students for Media and Society. It was very interesting. Later that day I had film class. Class was pretty boring, which is normal. That night we went to the Cinema Museum to watch the film “The Lavender Hill Mob.” It was surprisingly a really fun and great film. It even had Paris as part of the setting, which rocked since we were going there for the weekend.

Wednesday brought a late start. For the first time all semester, my alarm failed and did not go off. My roommate didn’t set her alarm since she usually depends on my movement and noise to wake her in the morning. Needless to say we were both late to our 2 person history class. It got better when I got there and found out that our London Program Advisor was sitting in on class that day. But I was only 5 minutes late, so it wasn’t too bad. Our outing for history was to the Transport Museum. It was a pretty cool museum and I got to get 13 different stamps on my “passport card.” Afterwards I went back to the house and got some work done. I also packed for Paris.

Thursday was the last day of class for the week. We watched Pulp Fiction. It was an interesting movie. I had never seen it, which you would think was a cardinal sin the way my professor reacted to the news. After class I walked to Oxford Street and did some Christmas shopping. That evening we had another group outing. We went to the Comedy Store, aka a comedy club. It was a great way to spend an evening. There were 6 comedians in total and all were really funny. I laughed so hard and a few people in our group got picked on for being American of course.

I will write again soon to tell you all about my weekend in Paris.

Much love,
KP
