This week

Just a quick post about this week before i head to Stratford, bath and Stonehenge! 
This week we had great outings! Monday for theater we did not see a show because we are seeing 12th night in Stratford so that should be great! We have a discussion after with one of the actors which should be fun! 
Tuesday we had our first outing to the design museaum where we looked at the exhibition going on which is a contest for the best design of the year. There was everything from houses to furniture, clothes, cars, vacuums, ambulance designs and so much more. After that for Media and society we went to notting hill and got a guided tour around the neighborhood of notting hill focusing on films that were produced there. This neighborhood has countless productions in it because it is near the big film stations and it is also just a diverse area of housing so it is easy to make it a set. That night they got us tickets for charlton football club to go to their game. They are in league one which is a league below west Ham (lees team). The guys in our group were hillarious and painted their
a few boys from our group all painted. the one with the white shirt on did full body paint, he had not taken of his shirt yet!
body's red and got really into it, even though in England they don't do body paint or stuff like that to snow their support, they are just dedicated to the game. That being said, we got some weird looks but it was fun!! They won 3 to 0 so it was a great atmosphere! Yesterday for art history we went to the national gallery and looked at impressionist work! It was amazing! The national gallery has such an amazing collection of it all, from monet, manet, van gough and degas! It was amazing to see it all! My internship has been great! I have been designing a dining table and drawing it on th computer and today I have a meeting with the builder who is going to build it and make it so I have to go over my designs and finishes with him! At 2 today we leave for Stratford! Friday and Saturday we will be in bath! Then Sunday we are doing Stonehenge, then Windsor castle! Going to be a great weekend! 
It is warming up nicely here too so that is always nice! No more pea coat! 
My parents come next weekend so I  looking forward to that!!
