I know I said I'd make a post about the Highbury Centre, but I keep forgetting to take pictures of it, so this is just a post about today. You'll get the HC later. Today was pretty standard: colloquy, then lunch, then back to the British Museum for a bit. But after the museum, Adam, Dave, Lindsey, Zeke, Rachel, Tabitha, and I went out to get our tickets for Les Miserables! Rachel wasn't going to see it until tomorrow, but the rest of us had plans to see it tonight. We split into two groups: Adam, Zeke, and Tabitha sat together and I sat with Lindsey and Dave. With our ISIC (international student identity cards), we all got tickets 1/2 off!!!!!

We went back to the HC for some reading and a quick dinner, then we went right back out. It was the farthest into the city that I've been at night, and it was really cool. Everything was all lit up and there were giant advertisements on screens that reminded me a little bit of New York City.

The musical started at 7:30, and holy crap was it good! Incidentally, I had heard a lot of the songs way back in the 90's, when my parents and Andy and Jenny Martin were really into it and played the soundtrack a lot. But now it all came together, and it was spectacular. It totally changed my mind about musicals. Between seeing this and "Wicked" with Emily last year, I've decided that musicals are fine; it's just the stupid, cliche high school musicals that suck. So that's that.

Tomorrow is Wednesday. Another day of colloquy, then I'm going to go to the British Library for a bit. I should also get more food, as I ran out of bread last night and ham and cheese this afternoon. So I guess I'll also go shopping tomorrow. And I'll get around to doing that HC post someday too. Later!
