The Centre!
Where we eat dinner..
My favorite room in the Centre. The Drawing Room.
And this is the classroom! Its kinda weird to go to class right up the stairs from your bedroom.
Last night me and Sam were bored so we decided to go to a show. There was a group of people going to see Jersey Boys, but we didn't know if we really wanted to see that. So we decided to go look at a half price ticket booth and see what kind of deal we could get for something else, and then go to Jersey Boys if we couldn't find anything. None of the ticket booths had anything, but the Mama Mia theatre was right next to Leicester Square where the booths were. Some other girls from the Centre said that they had gone to try to get student discounts but that Mama Mia didn't have student tickets. We decided that we would take a chance and just see what they had left for the night. The show started at 7:30 and we got to the box office about 7:10. We asked the guy if he had anything for that night, and he said that he had student tickets for row B in the very centre right behind the conductor!! SCORE! it was seriously so amazing! we sat in 90 pound seats for 27.50. and the view was amazing!! there was not a single person in front of us. and we weren't looking up at all. we were so close to the stage that we could see the people spitting when they sang (kinda gross...but so cool that we were that close). It was SUCH A FUN show. After it ended the cast came back on stage and sang 3 of the songs from the show and everyone stood up and danced and sang. It was so much fun.
Today we went on our weekley day trip. We went to Brighton and Bodium Castle. We were supposed to go to Canterbury but a girl from the group was late to the bus and we were 45 minutes off schedule so we had to skip it. Kind of a bummer. Anyway, Brighton is definitely one of my new favorite places. I absolutely loved it. It was this super cute beach town. The pier was so fun. Sam and I rode a ride called The Booster. It was scary..really scary. it was this big long arm thing that swung us in circles upside down and sidways and up super high over the ocean. I really wish we had taken a picture!!
While in Brighton we also went to the Royal Pavillion. It was a palace that King George IV built. It was all decorated in an Asian style with dragons and such everywhere. it was SUPER over the top and ornate and detailed. it was super cool.
The last stop was Bodium Castle. It was a really cool castle with a moat and everything! It was fun. We went in to a room that was full of bats! It was nasty. The castle also had these things called murder holes..where if someone got into the castle, they could dump hot oil on them from the ceiling. It was pretty neat. It was one of my favorite castles that we have gone to so far becuase it wasn't turned into a museum or a tourist trap. It was simply the ruins of a super cool castle. There wasn't any restoration or remodling or recreations. It was just the castle. i liked that a lot. We also had fun with the stocks.
With Dr. D!
hah is was super sunny.. :]
Up in this tower the stairs stopped..like there literally were no more stairs..but they still put a sign on the step that said "no further access". seriously funny.Sam and I ended the day right - with dinner at Nandos. My favvvvorite restaurant in London.
