Alegria
February 09, 2006
Whoa! My roommate and I went to Royal Albert Hall tonight to see Cirque du Solei's Alegria. I had never seen any Cirque before... It was FABULOUS! I was on the edge of my seat the entire time and yes, I even had sweaty palms for the people doing all of the flips and twists and jumps fifty+ feet in the air. The music was amazing and they had a wonderful set and lively costumes. A-MAZING! :)
In about 7 hrs I will be leaving London to head for Brussels (that's in Belgium in case you were wondering). It's going to be really fun but I still haven't packed or found my passport. I will be gone Friday, Saturday and Sunday, returning late in the evening.
Today was also good in terms of school. During my 9am I had to present and I think it went pretty well. I really enjoy my Comparative Economic Development class and what's better is that I can really connect ideas and can see that I'm learning a lot. :) In the afternoon I had my philosophy lecture and I got up the courage to talk to my professor. He is brilliant and basically intimidates the skin off of me. We talked and he helped clear up some of the things he lectured on last week about Wittgenstein so I have a better idea for my essay. He's actually a really nice guy, very suave.
I hope that everything is going well back in the States! I've been working on my accent a little more...
