Day of Love

Usually I'm not a big fan of Valentine's day, but this years was different. Besides being in London, I also received some chocolate, roses and went to the Ballet. It was a good day.

The day started off with my waking up to a handmade valentine from one of the boys in the centre. It was so nice! He wrote one for all 33 of us girls. Then I went to my favorite English classes. We talked books and then in my writing class we wrote bad love poetry and also edited each other's papers.

Between classes we then received a delivery of 33 roses, one for each girl, from 2 boys in the centre as well. It was very nice of them :)

After class we had dinner and then we got our tickets to go to the ballet at the Royal Opera House. All of us girls got nice and cute, since we don't have much of a need to get ready very often. I even straightened my hair, which is a pretty big deal--London is pretty humid, so it's really hard to straighten my curly hair.

We went to Swan Lake. It was beautiful. I love watching how graceful they are and it makes me wish that I was able to do that. The orchestra was phenomenal, too. It was just a really neat experience. The white swan was amazing! I can't even describe it to you.

I sat next to my friend Devon and we had an interesting experience with these 2 old women behind us. They were annoyed because they couldn't see. It was hilarious because they were just super rude and Devon and I just gave her funny looks. When our professors heard about it they told us that we should have told the ladies that if they were going to complain about their seats, then maybe they should have paid more money for better ones. It was funny. Gotta love our professors :)

I also got a nice note from a very special someone and it was just a great valentines day :)
