Thursday, May 8
The train to London was cold and it was raining outside (now that I typed this I wondered where else it would be raining? On the train? I hope not). But we were determined to make it a good day!
We went to the box office to pick up our tickets and the man at the desk seemed a little surprised that we had such good tickets on the closing night. Yes, we are students and yes we each paid our left arm for the tickets, but hey! Don't underestimate us. We had sort of planned to go to the British Museum, but we ended up having a lot of fun just wandering around Covent Garden. We brought our dresses and makeup to change into and we ended up using the dressing room in H&M. The guy was really nice to let us use them. We went to Garfunkel's for dinner and both ended up getting cheeseburgers. They were so good, even if a little messy. But hey, we made it work!
The ballet was so wonderful. I had never seen anything like that before. The talent was amazing. The show was called 'A Winter's Tale' and it was one of the ballet's original works. The story line was really good. What really blew me away was the set in Act 2. I really think I would excel at something like set design. Picking a major sucks...
After the show we went to the coach station and caught a bus back to Keele. By the time we got back we were exhausted and it was so wonderful to sleep!!
