Sleepy day for me today, but I managed to get up for breakfast and present my piece with Caiti about the Northern Rebellion in 1569 in northern England. Fascinating stuff, I promise. Since my professor was at the queen's garden part yesterday, I had back-to-back classes with a quick cup of tea in between. In Shakespeare today we went over Othello and I was able to grab some final notes to put into my first essay which focuses on antagonism in Shakespeare and the different levels/redeeming qualities of it. That will be completed before the morrow!
On a totally random side note, I enjoyed my first broccoli and hummus (separate courses, of course) at dinner since I've been away and it was fabulous.
Following dinner we had a meeting regarding our weekend excursions. Tomorrow afternoon we'll travel to Stratford-upon-Avon to see The Merchant of Venice put on by the Royal Shakespeare Company starring...Patrick Stewart as Shylock! Very excited to see my first live Shakespeare performance in England (and of my favorite plan, nonetheless). Sir Patrick Stewart is a lovely bonus as well.
Saturday will be a big travel day to Dover and Canterbury- white cliffs and archbishops galore. Stay tuned for the next episode to learn more of the exciting adventures in Dover and Canterbury.
