Not quite goodbye...

Heavens it's late. The crew and I just got back from seeing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two... that may be the only time in my life I write out that entire title. Too long. Anyway apparently the Brits do not care about Harry nearly as much as I thought they did, because when we arrived to get in the queue (as they call it) at 9 o'clock, there was nobody there. NOBODY. Wait, sorry, there were two girls who went to Boston University dressed in Hogwarts gear and looking just as confused as we were that no one had bothered to show up. We sat there alone until 11:30 when a few people started to gather, but by the time the movie started at midnight it wasn't even full and from overhearing conversations, pretty much everyone seemed to be American.

The movie was pretty great. Maybe it's the lack of sleep but I can't really comprehend that it's all over. Also I didn't cry much, which was unexpected. I think maybe my second viewing will provide more insight. Also: THE DARK KNIGHT RISES TRAILER. Kind of anticlimactic. Except for the quick shot of Bane, which was exciting. But again, maybe it's the lack of sleep.

We had our final dinner tonight as a class with Dobby. That was cry-worthy. It's just been such a wonderful month, and everyone is so great, and Dobby is so great, and I love it. Nikki and Becka leave tomorrow morning early... actually in about 3 hours, come to think of it. I'll miss them dearly. I'll miss this flat dearly. This flat has been very good to us. It's so nice to have a safe little home base to come back to every night.

Last night we went and saw Anne Boleyn at the Globe (I know, I know, back again). Despite how tragic you may think it would be, what with her head getting chopped off and all that, it was actually really funny. And not sad at all. And pretty much the entire cast of All's Well was in it, which was great but also odd. They do that a lot, have a cast (minus the main characters) put on two productions a summer. I just found out that almost everyone in Much Ado (yes, including HIM) is opening another show in about three weeks. I'm terribly distraught that I won't be here.

Second-to-last night in home sweet Kensington. I'm kind of terrified to move out into the unknown land of hostels for three days. Thank goodness I've grown at least a little accustomed to this city. Anyway, I'm trying my best not to stress about it. I'm going to enjoy my last day or so, and now that we've turned in our final and class is done, I am just young and free in England, and that is a great place to be.
