Wednesday night, Claire, Chrsitine, Ramon, and Alex treated me to seeing the Lion King in the West End for my birthday present. It was AMAZING. I had already seen the Lion King off-broadway at Shea's theatre in Buffalo, NY, but this was just spectacular. Because the show I had seen was a traveling production, the sets could not be as elaborate as the ones used in London. Overall, it is still the best musical that I have ever seen, and I thoroughly enjoyed it!!
After the Lion King, I returned home to work on a paper that was due the following morning, since I am a procrastinator and didn't have it done. I worked until late into the night, went to bed for a few hours, and then woke up early Thursday morning to complete it. At least that is one paper completed. Unfortunately, I still have two 12-page papers, two 5-page papers, a group presentation, a take-home test, and a final exam due. The next two weeks are going to be incredibly stressful...
After my class on Thursday, I met up with Claire and Christine for lunch in Russell Square Garden. It was a beautiful day, and luckily this time no pidgeons attacked me (no, seriously, last time I ate there a pidgeon flew over my head, hit me with its wings, and then landed in my water glass and started splashing around. Needless to say, I'm no longer a fan of pidgeons...) We chatted for about an hour before they both headed to class, and I headed back to my flat for a bit before work.
After work I lounged around my flat, and then made the boys dinner. I have invented what I like to call "salsa chicken" which is exactly what it sounds like, chicken breasts baked with salsa and cheese on top. I dip mine in sour cream. Delicious.
After dinner I was planning on staying in for the night, packing, doing laundry, and going to bed early before I departed for Dorset, but my friends had other plans. After about an hour of persuasion, I got on some nice-looking clothes and headed downtown to O'Neill's with them. I ended up having a much more fun time than I anticipated. Luckily, we only stayed for a few hours before heading home, so I still had enough time to get some sleep before an early 8:30am departure.
