I am doing this because I got a bit behind in my blogs, and I want to take more time to reflect upon Bath, which I visited on Sunday, Day 6.
Today, I felt better than I have since I have been in London. We met for breakfast in the basement, then went to the British Library to work on our schoolwork. I know; I have been having so much fun that it is easy to forget that I am actually a student. However, I got my revised proposal back: It went from a C+ to a B-; not bad... We got lunch to go at Pretamagas (this spelling is probably not right). It mostly has sandwiches; I don't eat sandwiches, so I got a mozarella and tomato crossiant, as well as a chocolate crossiant, which were awesome. As I have stated already, the food is different here. It is very diverse, but the main food seems to be fish and chips of which I have ate a lot of. I will need to do a blog on the different fish and chips places that I have eaten: I am becoming quite the connoisseur of that. I got quite a bit of work done, but my academic blog didn't post and it lost it. I think the library doesn't like my computer... Luckily, I have it written down and will get it typed tonight.
Afterwards, we met at 1 pm and walked to The Globe Theatre, well, rode a very crowded Tube and walked forever. I think that I should be in good shape when I get home. I digress when I say that I have blisters on my feet today; one on each side of my little toes, and a big one on my left heel. Hannah let me have some bandaids, which was most helpful. One day, my hips hurt down the side, the next was my chins, then my feet. Blair, Jordan, and Lacy are my personal trainers. I am so sore that I am not even sore, if that makes any sense.
The Globe Theatre is beautiful; it is very ornate, has wooden seats, and is open to the air in the middle, which is the stage. I saw Dr. Faustus, a play, with the group. The play was magnificent; the actors were incredible, and Dr. Faustus got sent to Hell in the end, although I thought that he would get sent through the trap door instead of the decorated curtain, which had smoke coming out, by the way. They sang a musical at the end, which I liked. I loved the costumes, and Helen looked like Mrs. Latasha Howell, to me. The dancers who were in black costumes were so dramatical, as well as the almost sexual parts in the play. It was so amazing to see a play where Shakespeare actually peformed on stage centuries before me. The bold colors, the music, acting, even the gift shop was awesome. I will be coming back next week to see another play,so I will buy me a T-shirt then.
Ashley and I ate at some Indian restaurant tonight on the way back from The Globe Theatre. It was absolutely the worst food that I have ever eaten in my life; my tongue tastes like it is covered in crap (you know what I mean..). Then, since I was still hungry, we went and got something else, fish and chips; it is always good. The chips were actually fries this time, and were bad, and the fish was hard. Ashley's ice cream was frozen. We paid 15 pounds (25 bucks) for this Indian food, and it sucked. Oh well; I tried something new; I did not promise that I would like it. Let's just call it our culinary nightmare. Onward to the dorm! I must get some sleep after I finish my blog post for my academic blog, since I lost it at the British Library; thank goodness for pencil and paper; I did copy it down.
I am still speaking in a British accent in my head as I type this blog. It's too bad that I cannot speak it onto here. "It's alright."
Actually the original Globe burned down, the one we went to was just a recreation. Still cool though!
