It has been quite the week! I had a week off from Sean because he had a nasty flu, but it has been a very busy week none the less!
Tuesday was the first trip to London for the week, our group went in to see Twelfth Night with Derek Jacobi as Malvolio! It was a great production in a really neat theatre. It was modernized production that was set at the seaside. It was really really great! The actor who played Feste had a beautiful voice! Overall it was a very enjoyable evening, although we got back to Oxford after midnight.
The next day, Wednesday, Ashton and I set off on our London adventure to see Spring Awakening! We were so excited I had a ticket for the front row and Ashton had one in the row behind me! Spring Awakening won the Tony for best new show in 2007, so we were really looking forward to it! We got to the theatre very easily and found our seats. About 5 minutes before the show was to start an usher came up to the couple on my right, she said that they had 2 seats left on the stage that they had to fill and asked them to take them. They didn't want them so she offered them to anyone else. Ashton and I (of course) jumped at the opportunity. We rushed out to the lobby to put our stuff in the provided lockers (you aren't allowed to take anything into the onstage seating area) and rush to our seats. After some shuffling around to accomodate everyone we ended up on the front row stage right! I was sitting on the aisle which turned out to be a great experience! The stage seats don't have the best view, you end up seeing things from behind the action or in profile, but it was totally worth it for the experience! There were a couple of instances that I thought I was possibly going to be run over by some of the boys, but I loved every minute of it!
Tutorials this week have been okay, Virginia Woolf's novels proved a lot harder to get through than her lectures, but I still enjoyed them. As for C.S. Lewis, evidently Barry changed my tutorial from today to Tuesday, but forgot to tell any of us. Luckily my housemate was first to go this morning and figured it out before I left the flat.
I had a great session with Sean yesterday. He's been really sick, but he's really missed all of us. I got a huge look and smile when I walked in the door. He immediately put his finger on his nose and stuck his tongue out, to show me he remembered our game and he associates that with me now. He was very cuddley and lovable which always make for fun sessions! His new song is Barbie Girl by Aqua, he knows all of the words, and it is SO cute!
I've had an action packed week! I hope next week is a bit tamer, but it has been a really really good one. Another highlight ths week: Daniel bought his ticket! He's officially coming to see me for 2 weeks in May when he's done with classes! I am so excited for him to be here and to share all of this with him!
love you all and miss you!
