Thursday I had work again, I'm starting to get more familiar with what I'm supposed to be doing which is good. Jason met me in Leicester Square after work, and we got tickets to go see Avenue Q. We got seats in the third row of the first balcony, dead center, and the seats usually cost 55 quid but we got them for 20 because of a student discount (or possibly a realization that they weren't going to sell these seats with an hour and a half remaining before the curtain went up). Either way, we were both excited for the show. I saw it last year in Madison with Jana, but I figured that the London West End cast would be a different experience than seeing it in Wisconsin, plus I assumed that Jason would be largely in favor of sexually perverted puppets. Right on both accounts, we both really loved it. Also, I had my first sushi experience. We split a roll before the show at a fast-food-ish sushi place across the street from the theater. It was crowded and seemed pretty legit, but I'm still nauseous thinking about the rock-hard avocado. I don't want to talk about it any further, just felt it deserved an honorable (or dishonorable) mention.
Friday morning Jason and I woke up around noon and made breakfast before heading with some of his friends to walk around Hyde Park and the Natural History Museum. It was SUNNY and almost 50 degrees which was very exciting seeing as we haven't had many days like that since I've arrived. Hyde Park was beautiful, even in spite of the horse poo that was everywhere. We saw this beautiful memorial to Victoria and Albert and also Royal Albert Hall, which is where the big Spice Girls concert at the end of Spice World was. And yes, I do retain this information. And yes also, that this did make me much more excited about seeing this building.

Sunday was a chill day, I ended up waking up after 12, which is so late for me that I just assumed my body needed the rest. I went for a short walk around my area before watching Elizabeth for class with Kevin, and then making chicken quesadillas for dinner. Then Jason, Keetin, Sarah, Mal, and I went to where the Wisco boys are living to watch the Super Bowl. Sadly, I did not win any money in the pool (so unfortunate), but it was fun and good to see the Madison crew.
Today was pretty standard. Had 2 classes and then watched The Exorcist in screening (still not sure how I feel about it). Then came home and did laundry which was going to spurn a raging blog post about all the things I despise about my dorm, but I think that will have to wait until later (hint: the laundry room will be on that list). For now, I'm going to head to bed. Gotta get up early in the morning for work! xx
