Thank You Little Chef

I know the world has been awaiting my triumphant return to the blog-o-sphere.

Things have been absolutely insane across the pond. This past Monday night we saw a play for our theatre class called The Lady in Black. It was easily the most terrifying play I have ever seen (which isn't saying much because I've only seen about 4- all from high school). If you ever happen to come to London, you should def check it out. Around 3:30 that morning a strange man attempted to break into our flat, which was even MORE terrifying then the play. The police, who have very funny hats making it about 3 times harder to respect them, were involved and explained that the man was a security guard who clearly did not understand his job. Our professor MAC came and I didn't sleep until 5 in the morning.

At 8 we met with the people who manage our apartments and switched flats, so we are now on the seconds floor rather than the basement. Our room is smaller, but more cozy.

Tuesday evening about 5 other girls and myself went to see the musical Wicked. Which has been something I have wanted to do since I read the book. It was incredible, the woman who played Elphaba had the most amazing voice of all time, next to mine of course.

The rest of the week was relatively uneventful.

However-- yesterday we went to Salisbury Cathedral (see photo) which was really pretty and we saw the Magna Carta. Cool.

The most interesting thing was to come the following morning. That night we stayed at the classiest hotel in England: Travelodge, and ate such fine cuisine as Little Chef. JQ and I enjoyed 6 Carlsburg Imports between the two of us, but only had to pay for 1 each. Pure Excellence. We awoke at 6:30 and 10 minutes later were beholding the stone beauty known as STONEHENGE. This was an awesomely amazing experience. We were allowed within the fenced off areas and touched those ancient and powerful stones. It was easily one of the most awe-inspiring things I have ever done, besides being born and learning to write. Some may say it is over-rated, but those people are simply fools. 

Next some archaeologist guy took us to all these digs about avenues and whatever.... It seemed like a lot of old ditches and as far as I'm concerned, you see one old ditch, you've seen them all. Aren't we Art History majors and minors? Why would we... But I digress. Stonehenge was awesome and I just couldn't stop taking pictures, for being stone it was quite photogenic.
