Tuesday
I woke up pretty late because I am still sick and just hung out for the morning. At 2 I had Crime Fiction and we discussed Sherlock Holmes. I really love reading the stories and I enjoyed our discussion in class. In the evening a bunch of us met for dinner with our Theatre professor before going to see a show. We ate at Tara Tari and the food was pretty good. We saw Rapture, Blister, Burn at Hampstead Theatre. The play is about two middle aged women who are unhappy with the paths they chose. It was reviewed as being an important feminist commentary on life. I was pretty disappointed however. A lot of other people in my class liked it but I feel it didn't really do feminism any justice.

Today! This morning for BLC we were supposed to go on a walk of Westminster (which is the central borough of London where all of the iconic places are). But of couse it rained all day. So instead of walking in the rain we went to the Museum of London. We explored for quite a while before Jill and I headed back to Metro for lunch. Unfortunately, the tube was insanely crowded so there wasn't a whole lot of time to get back and eat. After really quick cheese toasties (grilled cheese) we ran off to Crime Fiction. In class we watched an episode of a Sherlock Holmes TV show from the 1980s and discussed the similarities of the show and written story. We then got our next reading, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. I've never read the story but I know the basics and I can't wait to get started.
