The day after we returned from out Stratford trip Bill took us on a Beatles- themed walking tour. We walked all around London to some locations that were associated with the Beatles. A few of the places were spots where famous photos were taken, so obviously we tried to re-create them...
Our last stop on the tour was Abbey Road. Unfortunately I do not have the most obvious Beatles photo-op to share in a digital format. Believe it or not, it is actually a very busy road; crossing it in general is a challenge let alone stopping for a picture. While others in my class were attempting to cross the road I stopped to sign the Abbey Road wall.
After about 20 minutes of waiting to cross the road I just gave up and ran across hoping that I would have time in the future to come back and take a picture (Eh, Liz Schwartzer?). Luckily for me, Bill took a (slightly stalker-ish) photo of me running along the crosswalk... So there you go, I can check getting a picture of me crossing Abbey Road off of my bucket list (even though it is a terrible picture).
As anyone who has ever attended ICLC knows... Bill Sheasgreen is pretty much the coolest person on the planet. I have been hearing about him since my sister went to London. Every person I know who went to ICLC talks about how freaking awesome he is... So naturally I decided that I want to have a lovely collage of our time together... And thus, the Sheasgreen Selfie Quest was born. I vowed that on every trip, or chance I get, I would take a selfie with Bill even if he wasn't paying attention. So far I have only had one chance, and this is the glorious outcome.
Midterms week was rather stressful, but it also had its fun moments. The best part of the week was going to see my first West End show with my theatre class. We say The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nightime and it was AMAZING. Holy cow, everything about it was so good. The acting was phenomenal but the technical aspects of the show were what really wowed everyone. It is impossible to explain but basically it was super cool and engaging.
After midterms were over I finally had a break! Fall break started last Wednesday and ends today (boo). While I really enjoyed my time off I am really looking forward to getting back to having a set schedule (and my birthday which is in a week!).
I will post about the exciting time I had in the North within the next few days!
xoxo,
Kaity
