This monday was kind of slow. I was exhausted from the TCF supportive weekend. I realized that my time is quickly running out. So I spent the morning planning out my theatre priorities! I mapped out the remaining evenings that I will be in town and made a list of shows I still hoped to see. Then, I began to fill in the spaces. My first priority is anything that is showing at the National Theatre. I am glad to say, that I am now in possession of tickets for all the remaining shows playing there! I only have 7 days to fill in and that makes me very sad.
After that most important task was under control, I did a considerable amount of reading for school. I only mention that as some have begun to wonder if I remembered why I was here. I do and I am pleased to say that I meeting all of my professor's expectations to this point!
After getting cleaned up, I headed out to spend some time with a friend, just talking. It was a good, needed time, to reflect on the weekend. And it was fun, filled with laughter as well.
I had ordered my tickets to "The Cherry Orchard" online so I had to pick them up when I got there, which was a new experience. I, of course, arrived very early, "just in case," but there was no problem. Because I had successfully navigated unfamiliar food over the weekend, I took a chance and at at the theatre, ordering Stuffed Aubergine and Peppers. It looked rather fancy and tasted wonderful. I guess eggplant isn't that special to a lot of people, but for me it was an adventure!
I've decided that I am a simple person who likes the theatre and that's okay. I enjoyed it and was simply fascinated by the set. You have to understand, however, that I stood on that set last week!
This entire trip has been an series of amazing experiences for which I am truly thankful!
