This past week and weekend were really busy!
On Thursday I met my host family, Mr. Richard and Ernistine Wells!
They are a lovely couple who have two grown children, and have been participating in the Meet a Family program for a few years now. I look forward to getting to know them and spending more time with them.
On Friday the whole school went on a trip to Lincoln for British Studies! Lincoln is a beautiful little town full of character, but we chose the worlds worst day to go! The majority of our day was spent outside touring the town, and of course all of the historical monuments and such. Unfortunately it was one of the coldest days we have had so far, pouring freezing rain, and super super windy... not my favorite. To brighten our day we stopped in every chocolate shop to buy one piece of chocolate or fudge.. best decision I ever made I'm still having dreams about the strawberry champagne fudge I had..
Saturday, I went on a day trip to York where I visited the Viking Museum, (Which was awesome) and saw a pantomime show at the York Royal Theatre. (Pantomimes are a tradition in the UK) It was interesting to say the least, the show is full of silly singing, dancing, and crazy costumes all while following a plot to a fairy tale which just so happened to be Aladdin. Pantos are unlike any other production, they wouldn't be able to function without a vocal audience and each show is different depending on how the audience reacts. As an audience member you will be asked to shout when the villain comes on stage, sing along to really silly songs, and much more. Also during the shows they make a lot of local jokes, or references to popular music. It was pretty entertaining.
Today, It didn't rain... I think England is confused
Tomorrow I will be heading to London after class to see a show for my theatre class called "Fuerzabruta" you stand the whole time and move around.. I recommend you look it up... its crazy
Friday I will be spending the day with my host family which I am looking forward to although I don't think they know what to do with me because I am so laid back and not picky at all which is a change from past students.
Other than that I am staying at the manor this weekend which I may or may not be regretting but I will be fine...
I am tentatively heading to Ireland next weekend, for our first long weekend!!!! I can't wait although traveling on valentines day anywhere is stupidly expensive.. so thanks a lot Love Birds!!!
