Today wound up being another fairly relaxing day - it was nice.
Class was interesting. It was the theatre class and we talked about the School for Scandal. Our teacher agreed that the production was pretty weird. However, we still picked it apart and analyzed things in ways that neither the teacher nor director actually meant them to be interpreted, but such is what happens in classes like that ;]
After class, I walked to the Brunswick Shopping Centre near the IES Centre - and this time it was actually as close as I had anticipated, closer actually. I was on a mission and I looked in a few stores and saw some possibe jackets but nothing really struck me. Then I went into the last one and saw one - it was green. However when I looked around the store I saw that everything was organised by colour - and I found the same jacket in khaki. Then I went to tha back and found another one that looked good - I actually had to choose! And neither was £75! It was an exciting moment.
So now I finally have a bloody jacket and I won't be wearing my sweatshirt all the time. Huzzah! :D
In London, there is a cafe called Pret A Manger (or just Pret) and they're all over the place. By the way, it's French so it's pronounced prey - not phonetically as pret like half the IES students call it ;] On my way to class and then again on the way to the shopping centre I stopped by one to get an apple juice. I can already tell that I'm going to miss the apple juice from there. It's delicious and the only bad thing about it is that the containers are so small. At least the store brands are almost as good.
Nicole, Lanita (a girl in my theatre class) and I were going to go to see The Lion King today, but the show was entirely sold out. The workers were as surprised as we were, but then we remembered that Wimbledon was in town - and that meant that a lot more people were too. So we got tickets to tomorrow's 2.30 matinee instead.
I don't think Nicole quite understood how much I love The Lion King until today. When we got back to the room, she was watching the movie on youtube and I was reading for class (I got it done! Yay!) and kinda half-watching the movie. Sometimes she would say a line and I would say the next, or I would glance at the screen and say a line from the scene. All word for word.
For example, I wasn't watching and I heard her say 'Ix-nay on the upid-stay' and I immediately responded 'Who you calling upid-stay?' :D Then, later on, she paused it to take out her contacts and I glanced at the screen. It showed a shot of a night sky with some trees around the edges and I said 'They're fireflies. They flew up and got stuck in that big blueish-black thing.'
Both times she looked at me, smiled and said that was really impressive. Then we both laughed and danced along with Timon's Hula :D
So yeah, it's been a good day, even better because of the amount of Lion King in it :D I can't wait to see the show tomorrow!
Till then,
