So today was the orientation, bright and early, at the Florida State University building. And oh my goodness, the amazingness of this semester is just beginning to dawn of me.
First, I don't have an early morning class. I only have one afternoon class on Mondays and Wednesdays, and two afternoon classes Thursdays and Fridays. And then there's the free plays. I'm going to run through them, so get ready. War Horse, Arcadia, Mother Courage, The Pitman Painters, An Inspector Calls, Endgame, The Power of Yes, and Enron. That's not every including all the class-required plays.
Okay, for the longer trips. We get a coach tour of London next Sunday, a boat tour to Greenwich Sept 5, tour of Southwark and Tower of London Sept 11, and a tour of Parliament the next day. Sept 18 we get a trip to Oxford, then October 2 a two night trip to Stratford, where we get to see 3 plays. At some point the program director mentioned taking some of us for a hike somewhere, so I signed up for that. Then the coup de grace, a week-long trip to Ireland the first week of December. All of that is completely free. There's only three trips I'm not going on, one because it's restricted to the class involved, and the other two are involved with other classes and I'd rather have a few weekends to explore London.
So I'm still mulling over all that, and have to go.

Those trips and plays sound really excellent! Any of them at the National Theatre?
ReplyDeleteYou really should think about going with some people to Amsterdam or Paris - just for a weekend. Especially if you can take the Eurostar to France. Also, for batteries, try Boots or any newsagents; they should have them.
Did mum let you know that Aunt Gerry is going to be in London in a couple of weeks? You ought to see her when she's there!
Wow. Turning green. AND a trip to Scotland.
