A Night of Cartoons... Well At Least The Music To The Cartoons

Today, I woke up and headed to my internship. I updated attendance sheet for the Alternative Parliamentary Awards. I finally reached the goal of at least 300 guests who confirmed. I called all of the unconfirmed members once more, and sent many emails to delegates to provide them with more information regarding the event.

The office was very empty today since there was a GovNet Event today and most of the staff had to attend.
For lunch, I got a lunch on the go and just walked around since it was such a beautiful day.

I then went to South Kensington to pick up a package and then headed toward London Bridge to see the Unexpected Opera - The Barber of Seville (the songs from many cartoons) located at The Scoop, an outdoor theatre - similar to the Shakespeare's Globe but on a much smaller scale. The opera was great and very funny too. I enjoyed it alot, especially since it was free too! It was located right on the Thames river and across the way was the Tower Bridge, Tower of London, and Gherkin. Right next to the theatre was the London City Hall (a big spherical building). It was a beautiful, warm night and just very enjoyable.

I ate a hamburger at the theatre, which was actually grilled (or BBQ'ed) over an open flame!! It was delicious!

I then returned home and wrote my weekly journal for school and am getting ready for Dublin, Ireland this weekend (hopefully looking up some McFeely's). Tomorrow, I am going to pay my rent, tell them my departure date, buy some more laundry coins and then off to Professional Development.
Today, I also got my flight confirmation that it is fine to swith until a departure on Tuesday, instead of on Saturday back to the States. I am going to Rome/Vatican City for sure!!
Cheers!
