fyi
Right now, at this very moment, the exchange rate:
1 USD = .503 GBP
OUCH.
There was a time, not too long ago, that I took out 150 pounds and it converted to $289. That's bad, but I can live with that. But currently, my money is actually, literally, cut in HALF.
I love love love love England, but I am beyond excited to be back in a place where $20 MEANS $20. Not 40. Ooooy.
There are something like 25 days left in the semester. In these 25 days, I must:
-see Sound of Music (possibly tomorrow?)
-see On the Town (April 24)
-see Side by Side by Sondheim (hopefully May 1 (PRESS NIGHT), but we still have to work out tickets)
-see PROPELLER. TWICE. MORE.
-see Merrily We Roll Along in Derby
-have a picnic in Kensington Gardens
-go to the Globe and be a groundling for Othello
-go to the British Library, back to the British Museum and the V&A, Kew Gardens maybe, Greenwich maybe, National Gallery, Portrait Gallery
-find Abbey Road
-go to Westminster Abbey, Houses of Parliament
-eat 963486 Ben's Cookies
-eat take away wagamama in a garden and read
-go to the giant toy store (Hamley's) on Regent Street
Fortunately, many of these things are either free or already paid for. There's so much to do and so little time to do it in. Sometimes I feel like I don't do much and then I look at my planner and realize how busy I actually am. Have three more theatre visits for Nesta (including Billy Elliott!) and four papers to write.
My goal? To make it through the next 3.5 weeks and still have at least $5 in my bank account.
