Day 2 of Classes

The other thing I forgot to write about was that I went to the Notting Hill Carnival, which is the biggest carnival in Europe. It's like Carabaana in Toronto but way bigger. The streets were packed and the music was really loud but it was a lot of fun and the costumes in the parade were amazing. Today on my 3 hour lunch break between classes I:
1) Went to Covent Garden but was really disappointed that the entrance to the opera house was not on the actual square. So either they have changed everything or the whole set up of My Fair Lady is a lie. I wanted to find the pillar Henry Higgins sits behind but no luck. :(
2) Walked around the theatre district - it really is amazing how many big shows are right there at once. I'm definitely going to Avenue Q and I'm trying to find out if there are any crazy cheap bargains so I can go to more. Tonight is my first night at the theatre, I am going to Rafta Rafta with the program. It's at the National Theatre and it's about a comedy about a British-Indian family.
3) Did a few rooms in the Egypt and Ancient Greece collections at the British Museum. It took me an hour to do 4 small rooms, so my British museum exploration may be epic!
In other news, I have changed classes. As long as the switch goes well, I am no longer in Ethno-National Conflict and am in Travel, Writing, and English Traits taught by the head of Oberlin's English Dept and focuses on Ralph Emerson.
