Comedy Cafe

Everything has started to calm down a bit around here. Classes have been going on for a few weeks now so I am finally getting on a good schedule. I love the everyday reminders about how unique London is. The best way I know how to describe it is like New York City but in England. There is just a little bit of everything here!

Some friends and I were on the tube a few days ago, and there was this woman wearing a show girl costume! I know the view isn't the best but I just had to snap a picture! We went to Old Street (an area in London) for dinner for a girl's birthday. There was so much graffiti on our way to the restaurant but it was so creative and artistic.... not quite like what we have at home. I love some of it!

Last night, Lauren Britanny and I went to the Comedy Cafe. It is open mic night there on Wednesday nights and most importantly, its free! The three of us girls left with plenty of time to get there but after getting a little turned around outside of the tube station we made it there only five minutes before they started. Upon walking in, we found out that we were supposed to make reservations and that the place was full. Luckily there were some kind gentlemen that overheard our dilemma and let us sit with them! The comedians ranged from boring to hilarious, but you can't complain much when you got in for free. We had a good time and hopefully will be going back another week!

I am going to see Wicked the Musical tonight! I am so excited! A lot of the other students here have seen it and I have been hearing really good things about it. I went this morning to get tickets expecting to have to sit in the very back row, but we actually got pretty good seats for really good prices! We also have a day trip planned for us tomorrow going to Stonehenge and Bath. I and looking forward to that too. I am sure I will have another update in a few days to tell you how that went!
