So the Globe was really cool. We saw As You Like It last night, however it is an open air theatre and it was raining!! So I got completely soaked and now I think I'm getting sick. I have to give it up to the Londoners though. It was still a packed house! The set up was really cool too. The stage has platforms that extend out and enable a lot of audience interaction. In the Globe there are "groundling" tickets which means you stand out in front of the stage, as people would have in Shakespeare's time. So the actors were kind of in and out of that whole area.
On the way home we walked over the Millenium Bridge (the one the death eaters destroy in the new Harry Potter movie). And the bridge leads directly to St. Paul's Cathedral. So naturally this made me want to read some Harry Potter and watch some Mary Poppins! lol
Today we had a paper due and a test, oh my! I think they both went well... We have a free day tomorrow and were going to do a Harry Potter tour but found out the cheap ones are only on Sundays!! So now I have to figure out what to do... And Sunday we leave for Stratford upon Avon! So it should be a good weekend as long as I don't get sick!
