Wicked!!
Okay, so yesterday wasn’t all bad. Sunday night I fell asleep at 8, woke up at 11, and worked on my econ until 2 in the morning. I had gotten an extension because of the rowing stuff. So then Kyle called me Monday morning to make sure I got up at 6, so I could finish up the econ. I got it done, barely, before the tank session, so Jennifer and I could leave after the tank session for London to go see Wicked. We found out there’s a good ticket deal for the coach if you leave after 3 p.m. so we only had to pay 7 pounds round-trip, which was cool.
We had planned to meet Kristie and Ryan there at 5, but we didn’t get into London until 5:30, but then they were running late and got there around then too. So it worked out perfectly, and we went to eat in the food court of the train station. We ended up all sharing a family meal from KFC. Only 3 pounds 50 for each of us and we got quite a bit of food. We couldn’t believe we were actually eating at KFC, but I guess it’s appropriate. Verity met us up there around 6:45, and we wandered around the train station for a bit to kill time. Then we headed over to the theatre, which is right across the street from the train station.
We took lots of pictures outside the theatre, and then found our seats, the very last row, but right in the middle, so they were still pretty decent and we could see. I’m glad I remembered my glasses though. The play was awesome, amazing, happy ending, and good story, all having little things that explain parts of the Wizard of Oz. It made me so happy. I had to force myself not to think about school, which was hard, but I did it. I don’t know how to explain the play, but I’ll put up pictures later. I really need to be getting to the library now, but I wanted to put up a happy entry after my dismal rowing one.
So we got out of the theatre and headed toward where we catch the coach, and right as we got there, mine and Jennifer’s was pulling away. I waved, but he didn’t stop…at first. He pulled over at the next bus stop, which wasn’t one of his, and we ran and he let us on. So that was really nice, and I’m glad we didn’t have to wait another half-hour. It had started to rain, though we could have gone back into the train station. I fell asleep on the bus ride home, so it went quickly. Got back to my room and fell fast asleep before getting up early this morning to prepare for my lovely tutorial today.
