On Tuesday we talked about film and it was a beautiful day so he let us out early. I had espresso on our break and I think this was the day that Emily dumped it on the floor, but it was enough to keep me going anyway. Lindsey and I went to Primart after class for my first experience. Primart is a store that is described as Walmart prices with Target quality. Anyway, even in the middle of the day that store is crazy. There are so many people and when we tried on clothes, we waited for 1/2 hour before we could get in and apparently that is good time. It was another 15 to checkout. Despite that, I got two dresses, two cardigans, and two pairs of shoes.
Afterwards we went to the TKTS booth to get tickets for a show that night. We ended up getting tickets for Chicago. I didn't even realize this at the time but it is leaving West End in September after being here for 15 years with over 6000 performances. And we scored some good seats for a good price.
Once we had tickets we separated and I went back home. Sara met me there in my borough which is Shoreditch. I hadn't explored my area yet because most people live else where and they outnumber me, but Sara was all for exploring with me. My area is artsy with a happening nightlife according to Tom and I have heard that nightlife out of my window many nights. (In fact they are cleaning up the streets right now! It happens a little later on Sundays than other days of the week.)
Anyway Sara and I went exploring for street art and other graffiti in the Shoreditch/Hoxton area. It was so much fun. There were so many beautiful areas and we did find a good amount of street art. We ended up walking so far we went to Angel. Eventually we had to find the Tube so thatt we could make it to ISA's pizza party. In order to do that we had to hop on the bus first to get us closer to the Tube. We did find it and on the way there was a promotion for Coke Zero..."Coke Zero. Great Taste. Coke Zero. No Sugar. Great Taste." So I enjoyed my free baby can and Sara longed for a real Coke at ISA lol. We made it to the pizza party fashionably late but enjoyed a couple slices of pizza and coke. We did that in 10 minutes and we didn't want to stay, so we sorta dined and dashed (we didn't stay for the movie or to hangout). Instead we went down Oxford street and I finally was able to purchase Harry Potter and the PHILOSOPHER'S Stone =)
Lindsey met up with us when it was time to go to the show. CHICAGO was great and the theater was adorable. There were wooden chairs and binoculars for hire. I really enjoyed the show; it was done well. My only complaint is the drunk girl that sat in front of us. Oh and for once it actually mattered when there was no A/C. It was HOT by the time the show ended. After the show we went and had some gelato (I had espresso) and then Lindsey wanted some nachos at another restuarant. At the same time in Leicester Square they were building the props for the Batman premiere for Wednesday, so we watched that for a little bit.
Then it was time for bed! =)
