Happy Monday!
Hope everyone had a great start to their week- I did! I woke up to a tweet from Harvey Nichols apologizing for my experience and instructing me how to contact the store. I am in correspondence with them via email, and sincerely hope we come to a resolution. I appreciate that they read my blog and want to correct the problem, but I will keep you all updated on the correspondence!
This morning I traveled to Southwark to tour the reconstruction of the Globe theatre. The tour guide was enthusiastic and made to tour very enjoyable. I learned more about Shakespeare in one hour than in the multiple English classes I took in high school, including a 30 page research paper I wrote about him my senior year. Afterwards I grabbed a quick (and pathetic) lunch of bread, water, and a Cadbury chocolate, which I scarfed down on the tube. I went back to the flat to change out of my street clothes and into a black high waisted A-line pleated skirt, soft blue scoop neck blouse with a black lace collar, black tights, and BCBG black suede wedges for work. I traveled to the Upper Street London office to begin my internship. I am excited about my projects and worked primarily using Photoshop today. I also made a terrible cup pf coffee. I floundered with using a french press and the coffee to water ratio, and made a very small, very (disgustingly) strong cup of joe. I added as much milk and sugar as possible to make in bearable, but it was quite embarrassing.
After work, I met up with my dapper boyfriend and did some grocery shopping. We hadn't time to make dinner, as we had tickets to a play in an hour. I went to the flat and changed into my favorite jeans- my black Donna Karan skinny jeans. They fit like a dream and go with everything. They can be dressed up or down, and are so comfortable! I hiked my leg up onto my bed to adjust my shoe and was shocked by a sudden waft of chilly air on my mid thigh. I contorted myself into a new yoga position to find that I had ripped my favorite jeans. Not only are they my favorite, they are the only jeans I brought to London! I hate shopping for jeans too. Will I go without? Will I find jeans? I don't know- but I'll let you know what happens.
We saw 12 Angry Men at the Garrick Theatre, which would have been more appropriately named 12 Irritable, Racist, Sexist Bastards. The acting was quite good, though I could tell a few of the actors struggled with American accents while shouting. The play was well written and well executed. When we got back to the flat, I made us a dinner of chicken, penne, and creamy tomato sauce. The sauce was pretty terrible, so I gave up about a third through my pasta and had chocolate milk and a Cadbury Marvelous Creations bar.
Tomorrow is my birthday and I will be turning 20! I am so excited! I love birthdays because it gives me license to treat myself like a princess and justify buying myself nice things! I also love the festivities, cupcakes, and getting post! I will write all about my birthday on Wednesday (I am assuming by the time I get home tomorrow night, I will have had too much wine to log into my computer).
