Dancing Through Life (or just for an hour in my room...)

Today was fairly uneventful. In Living and Dying we talked about the Great Fire. It burned 80% of the city in 5 days, including stone buldings and lead roofs. However, everyone wanted to get everything back up and get on with their lives again quickly, so a lot of the city was rebuilt in 5 years.
After class, Brittney and I met up to plan how we're going to get to Cornwall for our host visit. (I don't know if I told y'all - I'm going on the Host thing with Brittney who is also in IES.) We looked at train tickets and it was unfortunate that they were going to be so expensive, but then we found a coach that would get us there and back for £16 each. We chose that one :D We're also excited to have someone to travel with.
I also planned out my trip to Dover. I was going to get a train ticket, but the website didn't want to accept my credit card so I found a coach to get me there too. It's £15 for both ways and the trips are about the same length as they would be on a train, so it's a win-win :D I also looked at some things to do - I'm definitely going to see the Cliffs (that's why I'm going after all...) and Dover Castle looks pretty cool too. I'm really excited!
Nicole had to go see a film screening at the Centre for a class, so I was by myself in the room for a while. I was kinda bored, so I decided to play the Wicked soundtrack and sing along. It was fun :D The Lion King came on after, but Nicole returned to I wasn't dancing around the room like I was ;]
I was still antsy and bored, so I went to wander around Battersea Park. There were a ton of water features and flowers, and I had way too much fun with my camera. I took 57 pictures, I think that's the most I've taken any day so far, and it was all in the span of an hour. I love my camera :D I've wanted to go there since we got here, and I'm hoping that I'll be able to get up early tomorrow to take another walk before class :]
Short post, but it was an uneventful day. Tomorrow we're going to see Where's My Seat? with Theatre class, so that should be interesting - apparently it's 3 different plays and we're going to move around because they're trying to figure out the best seating arrangement for the venue, which is brand new.
Till then,
-Carly
