I've been having too much fun...

Hello world!
My mother just told me that I needed to blog because I haven't updated in two weeks. So sorry about that, but things are super busy here! Thank you Mama for keeping me in line!
We start midterm week (or two week?) tomorrow with our only midterm exam first thing in the morning. Then I have two papers due in the next few days.  So while I'm still having fun and seeing lots of shows, the past few days have been more focused on the academic side here. (Wait...I'm here to study?!)
So here's a little update on what's been going on:

About two weeks ago, we moved to our homestay families' homes.  I absolutely love mine!  Gary and Fiona are super cool house parents and really seem like they care about the student's crashing in their home.  While they have four kids, only one lives at home.  So it's been very nice to have a place to call home, parents and a sister, and even a very lovable dog to come back to every night. I just thought the hotel was amazing, I don't want to leave homestay!  This has been the biggest change that has happened since I last updated you guys, but so much has happened.

So here with go with the classic, Walley World bullet points!

...We got to experience Chinese New Year in Trafalgar Square complete with fireworks!
...I've seen the crown jewels in the Tower of London.
...Taylor Lautner watches me sleep. (in a poster in my room)
...I have stood on the stage of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre.
...IT SNOWED...A LOT!
...I built a Shawreth snowman.
...I got to see The Swingle Singers in concert!  They are some of my favorite people in the world.
....I finally saw the original Phantom of the Opera production. (Random fact: In my London interview, they asked what I was most excited about in London...I said to see this show again).
...My tooth chipped off in class. Yes. A hunk of my front tooth literally chipped off. Luckily, it was on the backside, so you can't see it. But, that was still one of the most terrifying moments of my life.
...I have seen "The House of Bernada Alba," "Juno and the Paycock," and "The Woman in Black" plays.(Aren't you proud that I saw things other than musicals?)
...Mr. Rumbelow took us on his famous Jack the Ripper tour!
...we rode a ferry to Greenwich (grin-itch, NOT green-witch) for a day trip.
...I taught my British Literature professor, Dr. Price, how to do the Bernie on the prime meridian of the world.
...I actually got homesick for the first time this weekend.

This is certainly not everything that has happened in the past two weeks, but a few of the highlights that have made these past few days great!

Remember to check my Facebook every Sunday for my Sunday Snapshots, and you can also keep up with me via the school's Phanfare website:

Almost daily, Dr. Price updates the site with pictures from all of our shenanigans.

There are times when I definitely miss home and I definitely miss the people in my life so much! (Yes, I miss my mama, but I'm a mama's boy, and I'm okay with that)  But, I am so blessed and lucky to be here, and this past month has really been the best month of my life! I'm looking forward to the next two!  See you April 9, America!
