A not so Terrible Tuesday

-
Normally I am very agitated on Tuesdays because they are the worse. Today was not that bad in fact it was a pretty good day.

I got to sleep in a bit this morning and then meet Barbara out near Tower Hill for our Jack the Ripper tour. I was not a huge fan because I didn't see why it was important to our curriculum. It was led by the Jack expert though (meet Donald Rumbelow). He felt very rushed because we only had an hour but oh well.


After that I went back to IES to print my theater review and do some work during lunch. Surprisingly nothing really productive got done during that time.

Next I walked to Monticello House for theater.
Today's class was fine but the presenters in my opinion spun a really light and fun comedy into a depressing tale of sexism and racism. I think they tried to make more of the show than there actually was but it raised an interesting topic of "as seen theater"- which I will talk more about later because it is late here.

Understanding Britain was really intriguing today. We discussed the welfare states and its effects. I really enjoyed it. Then I told Lucinda about the Eye incident and we had a nice conversation about that and bonded over our shared love of Quentin Blake.

Also after I made dinner a whole squad came into to celebrate Maya's birthday and that was a fun 30 minutes.

That is all for now

I lost the game! and other fun traditions

-
One day last week, or maybe it was the week before, was national wear your camp t-shirt day-of which no one (at school) that I know participated. However there is no need to fret because yours truly-super counselor extraordinaire remembered and wore her staff shirt from last summer. This combined with the Hillel retreat where we sang a lot of the end of session songs and an email encouraging us to apply for summer 2020, reminded me of all the little traditions from camp that I wish took place more in my daily life. For my camp friends reading this I hope it doesn't make you too nostalgic, and for everyone else maybe this a way to bring a little bit of fun to the office or maybe the holidays. The pineapple game When you are out with a group of people the first one to point to the pineapple and say I win. Wins. Yep- that's the whole game. I do highly recommend it for group shopping trips as it brings a sense of adventure to what can be a drab day at the mall. Invisible ...

Less Busy

Yesterday I got up and worked on some papers and then around 11 decided to make up my mind for the day. I had a kind bar and hit the road. I went to the Barbican, Postman's Park, and Postal museum The Barbican is a really unique building because it has plants overall the windows. The Postman's Park is much smaller than many parks that I have been to but that there are some titles that describe heroic events live saving children from a fire. Finally the Postal museum was incredible. I didn't think that I would enjoy it nearly as much as I did. Also at the museum, you can ride the mail rail, which is the old mail cart which would run under the city. Overall I had a great time and I was able to walk most of these so I saw many new parts of the city. Today I leave for Derby today to visit a camp friend. Don't expect any more posts until Sunday Morning. Have a Great Weekend!

Meal Prep and a Movie

-
This will be brief because I am going to watch a movie with some friends. Today I got up and read in bed for a bit. I then got up and worked out before going foodshopping. I got stuff for the week and also to make Nutella brownies with. They were pretty good, a little gooey but that didn't stop anyone. I then proofread a paper and did more research for AA overall it was a really chill day.
