I have begun my second term here at White Lodge!! So far, as I look back at this blog, the time I've spent here has been fantastic.
So far this term, I have seen two ballets! I went and saw Romeo and Juliet with Suzanne. It was a wonderful day, filled with great company. The performance was simply spectacular. It was at Sadler's Wells, with a live orchestra. The music was Prokofiev so I was very impressed seeing that I have played the famous number "Montagues and Capulets."
The second ballet I saw was only a few days ago. It was a performance of The Great Gatsby. Again, another spectacular performance!! I had no idea of the story before going into the theatre, and had no idea what was going on for most of the show, but the whole atmosphere of the place was pretty amazing! (Unfortunately ballets do not have any words in it so everything is portrayed via dance.)
I have been doing a few trips around London, going to see all the sights of this amazing city. The Globe Theatre was just one of the many things I have seen since the beginning of term 2.

Despite seeing all these fantastic attractions and sights, I have also been very taken with the atmosphere of London. The city is such a vibrant place to live and I am very grateful for being here. At nigh, the city really does change. The lights and sights from the Thames is simply unbelievable.

I am off to Barcelona for a week at half term, so I will write again after that with my Spanish experiences.
