Getting Caught Up- Post 1- Week 3

Hello there,
 I really am sorry it has been so long. Obviously I have been busy and haven't been able to update this nearly as much as I would like to/planned to.I tried to make a video a week ago talking about all of the things I've done but YouTube said it was too long to post (if that tells you anything about how busy I've been.
So, without further or do, let's catch up!

When last we saw Megayn....
 The last post I made was right after I met Ian McDiarmad in Stratford-upon-Avon way back on Feb. 13th (a month ago today!) After we saw Bertolt Brecht's Galileo we wandered around Stratford, I ate dinner at a Chinese Buffet (strange but delicious) and we took the long train ride back to Earls Court. Stratford was a wonderful getaway, despite the weather being cold and rainy the majority of the time.

Feb. 14th <3
   Valentines Day in London was a beautiful day, the sun was shinning and the streets were lined with flower stands selling roses. Our class went to the National Portrait Gallery with Andrew (my Architecture professor). We then rushed back to Russell Square and had a long discussion about plays with Mark (my theatre professor).





Feb. 15th- A day of rest, the start of our first free weekend. I'm pretty sure I just relaxed all day.

Feb. 16th- Kristyn and I went to the British Museum. It was so wonderful. I got to see first hand so many things that I studied in my survey of Art History course last semester. All of my images from that visit can be found if you click here- http://imgur.com/a/JMTou#0
My favorite part of the museum was seeing the "Elgin Marbles" or the marble sculptures from the pediment of the Parthenon in Athens Greece. Since then I have already been back, there is so much to see! I wish I would still be here when they open their new exhibit.

Feb 17th- Productive day of homework and grocery shopping.
END OF WEEK THREE!

Cheers!
