First Day of Class

Today was our first real day of class, I only had one and it's called "The Art of Listening to Music" so we had class for a little while and then we went to a performance. Today was the first time I felt very British/English. It was held in St. George's Anglican Church which was really cool looking. We heard a string quartet play Mozart and Haydn, and they had hot tea for free, so I drank my tea while I listened to classical music haha (Lizzy, you would've loved it!)


Later today I went to the British Museum and walked around for a little while, it's so huge I'm not sure I"m gonna be able to see everything even in 3 months! I went through the Ancient Egypt and Egyptian sculpture displays. It's a really pretty building, the pictures below are of the Great Hall from when you first walk in.


And then this is a picture of the Rosetta Stone which was pretty cool to see!
I'm not sure what we're doing tonight yet, but I definitely feel a lot more rested today then then last couple of days!Something cool that happened today was that they were filming a moving on the street adjacent to our street and so there were a bunch of vans and buses parked on our street. The movie has Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush (Pirates of the Caribbean) and Helena Bonham Carter (Harry Potter) in it, I walked right past the set, but I didn't see anyone sadly haha. Also, this morning I went to Starbucks by myself and someone stopped me and asked me for directions, I must be starting to look like a real Londoner!
