I know where it's at, yeah
It's right here. I decided to take the day off from sightseeing, show-seeing, and traveling to rest up for the rest of the week. Donna is still in Scotland, while Ryan, Steve, and Heather went to the white cliffs of Dover for the day in order to relax on the beach. Since that's not really my cup of tea I stayed here and...drank tea, actually. I may go out for dinner later, depending on who's around and who is willing to take a short trip "into town" about five minutes down the road, if that. My internet has been super moody and decides to connect only if it wants to. It's also been bringing me to links that I don't click on, which is just peachy. I will try to post the rest of the pictures I have (at least another six albums on FaceBook, if my math is correct) within the next couple days. Have spent the day sipping tea and reading, which is lovely.
My ankle is doing pretty well considering I went from such limited mobility and movement to full-on touring/walking for hours each day. I hope this keeps up throughout the week so that I'm not so burned out by the time I get home that I can't return to work. I'm not worrying about it yet, though. Too many other things to do here.
I checked the balance on my travel (debit/credit) card a few minutes ago. Would you believe that with everything I've done the last week I've spent under $500 (American)? It's amazing how much fun one can have whilst on a budget and still doing everyone one wants to do. If I wanted/needed, I could definitely live in London (or the surrounding area). It's a very relaxed country overall (except at rush hour) and most people are kind and willing to help and chat, especially with a few drinks in them!
Class begins again tomorrow morning at 8am. We will be rehearsing my RT piece, performing it, rehearsing Mitch's RT piece, performing it, and then touring Shakespeare's Globe with Callum as our guide! He is also trying to get (good) tickets for everyone interested to see Timon of Athens, which is playing that night at the Globe. It would be great to see a Shakespearean show with him, since he is classically trained with Shakespeare as his focus. I am hoping the tickets don't fall through, because if they do it means three nights in a row with no show for me! Truth be told, I would love to spend an extra ocuple of days here in order to catch a couple more shows and explore the city a bit more. I can only hope that I get to do this in the future.
Well, there you have it. My relaxing Sunday is more than half over, though I have plenty more books to read (though I have less than 100 pages left in Neverwhere) and tea to drink (I still have two more English bags of tea to finish), though I hope Donna or Ryan (or anyone else for that matter) wants to go out for dinner later since I had only a roll and two peach slices for breakfast since I wasn't hungry. Maybe I'll ever order something from the hotel? We will see, we will see...
Au revoir! Hope all is well!
