So recently in my Modern Theatre class we've been reading Strindberg- the guy credited for beginning naturalism in the theatre- or at least writing the manifesto for it. We were talking today about his Dream play- he was so interested in dreams and what they meant at the same time as Freud, and He also believed that there were symbols, but also that dreaming enabled a spiritual place of transcendent experience- not sure what that means? Me neither.
(This is Maughan Library- it's not Gelman, but it's home. ps it's one of three prime examples of Gothic architecture in London- also on that list is Parliament)
The last dream that I can remember was going back to visit GW, and everything was slightly wrong, but I was still happy to be there... maybe this means that the exact same thing will happen senior year?
Side note: I just found out that I got 2135 F street housing, but I can't find out who my roommates are. It's sooo frustrating.
Ok so today I visited Charing Cross Road,
and I love it- I walked about ten minutes and passed five book stores int at time- and I got a deal! Bought a Tale of Two Cities and Fathers and Sons for only 8 pounds! Tomorrow (if it's over 40 degrees) I'm going to Notting Hill and Portabella Road Market, then to read Dickens where it is meant to be done- Fleet Street. I know- I should stop my crazy partying.
P.S. Does anyone know where J.K. Rowling wrote Harry Potter? I remember reading that she wrote part of it sitting outside a Starbucks or something in London... I must go there.
Love, Chelsea
