London Day 15 Part 2

Annnd we're back, where did I leave off??......

Right people pushing people in chairs obsession.

After she finished having her moment with that she told us we had to come together and combine the two skits into one, incorporating the best parts of each into it. So we got a 10min break and then had to come back and had 15min to do the said exercise. Aaron and I had the idea that we looked at the experience from the mind of the hill and then that lead to doing a thing where we gave a voice to those things that typically don't such as the dog and the wheelchair. It was better than I expected but at the end she was still obsessed with the people and chairs thing. So she told us to pair off and take a chair and just like freestyle (?) with it. It was weird, so we just kinda I guess played with a chair if thats would you could call it. We weren't allowed to talk or communicate in any way and then at the end she told us to reenact our favorite moments of the exercise. She then took her favorites and we had to put them together into like a routine which was then added to some weird interpreted dance like thing the group did last week that she expected us newbies to learn on the spot.

It was....interesting....

To say the least, I don't know what we got ourselves in but we're getting 4 Babson credits for it and are stuck in it now whether we want to be or not. I hope we can record the final performance because like you don't even understand how freaky it all is. Thinking back I can't even believed I spent 3 hours of my day participating in it. I mean it will be a great thing to look back on at Graduation. Aaron, Laura and I will be able to see each other and be like "Hey, remember that time we did the interpreted dance with the chair that was suppose to somehow represent a walk we took to that hill at the park where it started raining and where we didn't sit or even see a chair." I feel Wednesdays will provide me with great blogging material.

After the complete shock of that we hopped (I don't know if I picked up the term "hopped" here or if it's something I've always used and just noticed all of a sudden, but I use is a lot now) the tube back to Wigram. Found another girl that lives here which is GREAT.

I ate dinner.....well attempted. I made that microwave meal thing I bought but it was gross so it's still sitting on my desk....I should clean it up before I go to sleep. After dinner I headed over to the National Theatre (I would say theater because well I feel as though the actual building should be refered to as a theater and not theatre but oh well I won't argue with them). It was probably the most overwhelming theater I've ever been to because I there's 3 in 1..or is it 4. Anyways there were 2 plays going on at the same time and A LOT of people and places to go so being there alone was intimidating. I was in the balcony which here is referred to as the circle. I've never been to a show alone before....it was a weird experience that I will have to avoid doing in the future. It's strange being stuck between two people you don't know. Present Laughter was pretty good. It really wasn't about anything really, just a run around comedy with people sleeping with each other and affairs and lots of overacting...which was on purpose I think. But it was easy to sit through despite being 3 hours and the set was really cool. Overall just a enjoyable show.

The observation I noticed though...well I've noticed it before but tonight confirmed it...most British people smell like a college dorm room. Easily it's all the alcohol and the ability for almost everyone to be able to drink it wherever and whenever they want but if you sit next to 2 people here you're sure to feel like you're about to have to break up a game of beer pong.

Since I didn't eat dinner really I was starving. I was good though, I managed to make it by all the fast food places in the tube station but then the sign said McDonalds was down an escaltor....one I had to go down. I was sure I was going to end up with a double cheeseburger but as I rode down like a wonderful little...I dunno...something wonderful....a Cornwall Pasty Co popped up and it was brilliant. I got a vegtable and cheese pasty and easily the rest of the tube ride to Victoria was the greatest moment of my life. The flaky cheesy goodness was just overwhelming....it was amazing...I'm getting all warm and fuzzy inside just thinking about it. I'm pretty sure the pasty is the greatest thing in the world. Cornwall Pasty Co is like the New England Soup Factory of London....I mean I could live off soup and pastys for the rest of my life. Mmmm. To make it EVEN better Glamorous came on my MP3 player....it was just perfect.

But anyways. Tomorrow I have class at 10 so I actually have to wake up. It's going to be a long day since I have class until 5. After I get to come back, cook dinner and then I have until Tuesday to catch up on sleep and recover from all the walking done this week and the yoga done today. I'm sure I'll post tomorrow....G'nite.
