Then we went to a place that was heaven...Primark. Its basically a discount clothing store. There were so many people there. Then we walked for about 30 minutes to Convent Gardens, a fanuiel hall like place. It was adorable except for the fact it was about 30 degress, a mix or rain and SNOW and I wore cloth shoes. Not smart on my part.
Today we had our first day of classes. As most of you know I am taking The Beatles, History of London and The London Theatre. Seems like a 3 month vacation right? Try again. I will actually be doing work, and a good amount. Apparently, the Beatles' teacher didnt realize that this was a vacation and is piling on the reading and writing assignments. We have to work on 2 albums so if any mega beatles fans are out there, please email me and help me. Other than that the class is cool. I feel in like with Ringo while watching him on the Ed Sullivan show due to his awkwardness and the fact he is a drummer. I am glad I know what he looks like now because not my type. The London Theatre class is next. We are going to see 9 plays total plus maybe MacBeth in the Globe Theatre in May. Talk about an amazing experience. Boy do I love Shakespeare. The class doesnt seem like too much work. I have to do 2 papers and lead an oral presentation about one play with Lindy-Poo....an ESA member. Last but not least, my favorite class...the History of London. This class seems amazing since our teacher is a G (basicaly a cool man.) He LOVES to tell us stories about WWII and the people who fought in the war he knows. Also, about how The British were very arrogant and egotistical and thought they were going to run the world...but didnt. He really likes that they lost all their power. We watched a little of War of the Worlds as well. Also, I think my teacher just loves Jews because he talks about how he absolutely hates this man who believes that the Holocaust didnt happen. In conclusion, he is amazing.
Here is to hopping that this semester is easier than I think...

For us old folks - what's a "G"
YES for our theater project! :)
Also, I fell in "like" with Ringo too. Even though he kinda looks like he got hit by a bus.
Good luck with everything! That does seem to be a common thread with Beatles teachers piling on tons of reading and work- I took the upper level gst on them and Elon and it was WAY more work than I thought it was going to be. I was at Elon last night and saw Steph, Mae, and her two new littles at Griolis and it was a little sad that you weren't there too!!
