So I now have another paper to write this week, pretty fantastic. It is going to be on the Alchemist which we are going to see on Monday…I suppose I should read that as well. We were assigned to read it because it is by Ben Jonson, Shakespeare’s contemporary, therefore in verse, and therefore confusing. I am currently at the parent’s hotel, the Millennium Gloucester, where I will be staying the night so that we can be out early tomorrow to Windsor castle. After class today, I attempted to catch up on these which is difficult since my internet is messed up again and will only work in the hallway now. I suppose that extra 3 feet really makes a difference.

We weren’t quite sure what we wanted to do this evening for I think we were all tired. So we finally decided to go to Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese for dinner. Jenna and I went here back in the day on our fantastic London trip, and I loved it. It is the oldest pub in London, I believe, seeing as it was rebuilt in 1666, I don’t know if it counts it from then or from its original construction, the date of which I am not sure. It is an old, dark pub which was frequented by the likes of Charles Dickens and Dr. Samuel Johnson. I think Dr. Samuel Johnson was the man who wrote the first dictionary, or at least this is what I learned from blackadder.

It is three levels, not including the cellar bar. Each room is for something different: drinking, drinking and sandwiches, drinking and snacks, dinner, private dinners, etc. We ate in the Chop Room which served quite delicious meals, and we topped it all off with some treacle pudding.

After stopping at tescos to buy some tea for me and jaffa cakes to smuggle back to the states for scott, we came back to the hotel where i watched extras. This is the new show of ricky gervais (of the office), which is the only bit of telly I watch all week. It starred Daniel Radcliffe this time, and he was a bit inappropriate; not as good as last week’s David Bowie episode, but still highly entertaining british comedy. I recommend it to all of you.
