One Week

OK that was waaaaay too fast since I posted two weeks 7 days ago. Wednesday is my last final in Political Economy, which will be ridiculous because the course is very...hmm don't know the word. Out there? Useless? Bizarre? I don't know I think you need to witness Ronny in action to know what I mean.

I went to The Globe (of Shakespeare fame) finally with a group of friends and we saw A Midsummer Night's Dream. It was actually pretty good and pretty funny. Jono said something funny; he said we were seeing a "Romantic Comedy" I didn't think of it that way but I chuckled on the inside. But yes The Globe: very impressive. Built as an exact replica. All started because some rich Yankee came to London int he 80s, asked to see Shakespeare's Globe, was met with empty stares, and told it didn't exist anymore. So he set to it to see it was rebuilt. And despite him and the chief architect passing away before it was finished, they managed to complete the project. I still find it funny it took an indignant American to reinstate a historical part of English culture. I guess the Brits just don't care as much?

Afterwards we went to the Blue Maid for a pint (Jess: "random") and then I mentioned how I had been in a pub, I forget the name, but it was fun even though I went to the bathroom and people were doing coke right there. One bloke even thold me of his friend who ODed and died on 1 kilo of coke. Wasn't really sure what to believe, but I zipped up my pants and got out of the loo. I said there was a hostel right there and my friends said that sounds like Dover Castle and that place was sketchy as hell. I thought it was fine and fun and described the interior and they confirmed that it was it. Then when we were done at the Blue Maid we walked by it and they confirmed it for me. I still think it was fun and fine (Jess: "They can't handle the SOWF EAST!!!") Yeah, we're hardcore.

Talk about doing something wrong for a year and getting away with it. So from that night I come back to the hall and stick in my keycard as usual and open the door and go towards the elevators. Then I hear a door open and a voice behind me say "Mate, you can't just pull open the door, you need to use your keycard!" I knew that was the security guard, so I turned around and told him "No I used it, let me show you" So we both went there and I showed him, and in fact my keycard had not been working! For a whole year I had been somehow managing to yank open the door. Well at least for the last week I'll get it right.
