Halloween!! On Friday night we went to a dinner party at some people's house that we met the weekend before. They cooked us some delicious food and we just hung out with them the rest of the night. It was great to really hang out with some British people in a setting other than a pub or at work.
Saturday we went to the Tate Modern. This should not have happened. The Tate Modern is full of modern art. I hate modern art. I hate it a lot. It's dumb. I don't care if you put some arbitrary lines on a canvas, it doesn't represent the majesty of nature or your feeling of being repressed by society. Just because you can't actually paint or sculpt, doesn't mean its ok to draw obscure shapes, give it some deeper meaning, and charge lots of money for people to own it. Get a job. Anyways, enough ranting about my deep loathing for modern art.
That night we went to another house party. One of the girls on my floor is from Norway and a bunch of her Norwegian friends live in London, so we went to their apartment and had a lot of fun. That night a bunch of the girls wore cute dresses and masquerade masks as our costumes.
Since Halloween was actually on Sunday, we went to a club called The Church, which is only open Sundays. We somehow woke up at 9:30am, me and Lena zombiefied ourselves, and we met up with the rest of the girls to leave for Church. It was packed and so much fun. On the dance floor, we ended up finding a lot of our friends from the BU program and we all danced the day away. We eventually headed back when it closed around 3pm and took naps before going to a play called "Scary Stories." The play was not what I expected, but it was very well done and I enjoyed it (I was even a little scared at times).
I totally agree with you thought on Modern art. Expressed very well.
ReplyDeleteSeems as if the dislike of modern art runs in the family!
