"The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool".

Quote from Shakespeare's As You Like It, Act V Scene I.

It's nice to see a Shakespearean comedy - his tragedies are so popular that often you don't see anything else for a while. The company we saw was good too - you could tell they knew what they were saying (it's all too obvious when people don't with Shakespeare) and it really helped audience comprehension. It was also fun to be in the Globe. We had the groundling tickets, so we were in that group of people that is in the center of the theater and stands the entire time.
This morning was the start of classes. After walking in a few circles, I made it to class with plenty of time to spare - good thing I gave myself an hour ;] Today was Living and Dying in the 17th and 18th Century London, and it's interesting already. It's a period of history I haven't really learned much about, so I'm excited. We talked about the Black Plague epidemic in 1665 and the Great Fire in 1666, and then we went to the National Portrait Gallery. They have a portrait of pretty much anyone you could ever think of - we walked around and looked at portraits and read about some people we're going to be talking about soon.
After class, I went back to my room to meet Nicole, but we both decided that it was too cloudy to go to the Eye so we relaxed and postponed the adventure.
I needed to run a few errands, so I went out walking up and down Kings Road again. Good thing I like it, huh :D I actually saw a red Mini Cooper with the Union Jack on the roof! I didn't think people actually drove those. Behind it was a Porche, a Beamer and a Mercedes Benz - we're in a pretty affluent area, could you tell? My Oyster card was not liking me, so I went to get another one. On the way to Sloane Square (the top of Kings Road) I got a notebook and some fun highlighters from a stationery store. (The stationery store is next to a bookstore - and I actually haven't been in there yet. I'm so proud of myself, but I don't think it's going to last to much longer...) I also got the shirt I've been wanting since I saw it on Sunday :] I also had to get some more grocery stuffs. It was an expensive adventure, but hopefully I won't need to buy too much more for a good while.
It was funny - at the grocery store, the cashier actually asked to see my ID (like it says on the back of the card). I produced my Illinois driver's license and he had never seen one before so he had to call over his manager :D
On the way to the Globe, we walked across the Millennium Bridge - and I should've counted how many people commented that it was the bridge that Death Eaters destroyed in Harry Potter. I think everyone said something like that :D I thought it and talked with some other people about it and took some pictures - the Tower Bridge was off to the side and St Paul's Cathedral was right behind us.
I'll get the pictures up on facebook eventually for those of you who check both, but for now it is 12.29 am and I have class tomorrow morning, so I bid you adieu.
Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow, That I shall say good night till it be morrow.
-Carly (who seems to be in a Shakespeare mood at the moment, or maybe I'm just really tired...)
