Literally "A Long Day's Journey into Night"

Monday 7/30:
As my trip is nearing an end, all of the rain, late nights, cold flats, missed meals, long walks and polluted air are finally catching up with me. Yesterday after class, I came back to my flat and took a GLORIOUS two hour nap and woke up feeling so refreshed and ready for whatever the rest of the day had in store in for me. My friend came over and did my hair (she curled it for me!) and we got all dressed up to go to the play that our professor booked us tickets for. We went to see "A Long Day's Journey into Night". It was a lot different than every other play we've seen so far. It was set in one day in one house in America in 1912 (1918 maybe?) and it was essentially about a dysfunctional family and the issues they had like an alcoholic father, a morphine addicted mother, and a son who was diagnosed with consumption. It was really interesting and thought provoking, though I couldn't help but get ancy during the long stretches of dialogue... After the play, a few of us went to a bar called "O'Neill's" in Leicester Square, it was within walking distance of the theater, and oddly enough- I'd been there before for dinner (my first week on this program!) It was a lot of fun, it was a lot of tourists, and we ended up meeting some guys from The Netherlands who were in London for the Olympics, they were so funny to talk to with their broken English! There ended up being a live band there, so it was really fun and the bar was full of tourists so we even met some more american girls from Pennsylvania- they were super nice and fun!

Once again, sorry for the lack of pictures, I'm more concerned with keeping you guys updated!
