Sunday Funday and other lyfe developments

Things are starting to change everywhere in London-
School is coming to a close, we are moving out of our tiny dorm style flats and into a real life big girl apartment with a backyard and grill, and starting our internships and dissertations.

The weather has been SPECTACULAR after the longest Winter of my life. Somehow, it has magically gone from 30 degree coat weather to 60 degree and sunny skirt and cardi weather. You think the South is dreary in the Winter, its like world peace has come to pass when the sun shines here. People go nuts for some vitamin D in London, and rightly so because we don't get it too often. 

Sunday we had the prettiest day yet, and it was a wonderful chance to get out on the town with my friend Lisa and explore. We headed to our new neighborhood in Brixton and got a little lost. It is a whole new world from where we live now! Lots of cute little hipsters eating their vegan brunches and crepes, instead of posh snobs eating roasted beef (although I will miss Kensington). We ate crepes and drank a bloody mary in Brixton market and headed toward our new place, did some shopping at Marble Arch, and then headed to the pub and patio for a pint in the sun with Aleks and Paul. We watched the Chelsea vs. Man City U football game and I went home for a run to soak in the last rays of the day. 

Monday night Aleks and I went to see my favorite musical of all time, Wicked! It was deliciously good. I had to hold back my vocal cords from jumping on the stage with Elphaba and Glinda. 

Yes, I want to be Elphaba.

Yes, Wicked is the best.

No, Aleks cannot make a serious face.

Yes, okay maybe sometimes he can.

In other news: I got the internship with Art on the Underground! To check it out click here! I will be working with the Mark Wallinger Labyrinth project this summer (hopefully with school groups). I haven't yet hammered out the deets but it looks like I will be starting at the beginning of July. Prayers appreciated.

Til next time,
Carly
