Free as the wind blows.... (and boy is it windy :)

I am a free woman! Today I handed in my last two papers for class, and I have the rest of the week off to play around London with Ike and Brezny who arrive tomorrow at about 10 am. I am very excited to have them come and we have quite the itinerary planned, so hopefully the rain will continue to hold out (It was a gorgeous and sunny, but very cold, day in London today) and everything will go smoothly – and if not… I have learned to roll with the punches believe it or not… okay well not entirely, but I am working on it J

 

Today we had theatre class where we discussed the show we saw last night – In A Dark Dark House. It was a very disturbing play about two brothers dealing with a sexually abusive childhood. It was actually really engaging to talk through it all, and I feel like I had some interesting things to say. So, for once, I actually enjoyed the class, even though the show was not my favorite. Only one more theatre class left next week, and no more plays…. Man, this really is coming to an end, isn’t it?

 

In history class I handed in my final paper and then organized some pictures while he went on about something historical…. However, be proud…today in class I actually raised my hand to answer a question he asked (which he never does – he likes to hear himself talk to much to let others get a word in…), so my class participation was solid for the day J.

 

After class, some of us stayed after and worked on different things and then headed back to the flat. 

 

For dinner, Andrea, Laura, Katie and I went to have Thai Food at Ben’s Thai Restaurant right up the road and we sat by a warm fireplace and had a very lovely and delicious dinner. Now I am off to get my room clean and ready for Ike and Brezny’s arrival! With them here this week, I am not sure how often I will be able to post – but no worries, you will be totally filled in sooner or later. I hope you are having a good week – on Thursday I think we all have a lot to be thankful for…so during this time of family, friends and togetherness, try to step back from all the negative components of your life – work, money, stress (perhaps the crazy construction going on in your home or the boss that will not get off your back…) because in the end, it is our family and friends that really matter, I think…. But in the interest of not sounding redundant, we can save the rest of this cheesy, inspirational crap for Thursday… are you excited or what?

 

Love and hugs,

Jenny
