Me in the City

Well hi there! Today was a pretty interesting day for me. Lots of stuff going on. It started out this morning when I got up an hour earlier than normal so that I could study a little for the test/quiz we had in Islam vs. the West. He told what there was going to be 4 questions and we were to write 300 words each. Pretty easy. I got the test and the questions were exactly what I thought they would be so I was prepared. The test only took an hour. I came back and had lunch of fruit cocktail and noodles with butter and salt. I dinked around on the computer and then went to Art History.

We met at the Victoria and Albert Museum. We spent the class talking about the 1800s. We watched a short movie on the Great Exhibition, a big get together for all the countries to show their stuff off in Hyde Park in 1851. This was one of the first times in history where it was a public gallery so that everyone could see the art. Before, art was reserved for those who could buy it. We looked at a ceramic staircase which was really cool. There was an area for people to try on Victorian clothes which two people did, Mo and Tschida (picture 1). Very funny.

We got back from the museum and I did that Rome entry below. Only one more day left!! Yay! Next up was the play The Vertical Hour at a theater in Sloane Square (picture 2). I thought the play was ok. I don't know. It was about a woman and her boyfriend's father having a discussion (that lasted about 2 hours). Honestly, that's what about 85% of the play was. Interestingly enough, Kim Catrell from Sex in the City was there. After the play, I asked her to take a picture with me but she said she only signs stuff which she did for me. So cool!

Busy day tomorrow. Globe Theatre in the morning. Pirates of Penzance in the afternoon. Some TV show taping in the evening. The fun never stops!!

Adios!
