1/7/09 Prague Proj, Theatre Class, and Clubbin'

Class at 9:30 am again, ugh. Today we had our Prague Project initial consultation over skype, which was kind of hard because the connection was poor and kept cutting out on us. Apparently we are supposed to do market research for some Eastern European herbal tea company and the final deliverable is 20-30 pages. Our first idea page and initial choices for US and Europe market leaders is due Jan 16th and is 2-3 pages.

We also had our first theatre class with an orientation and discussed the play August: Osage County we saw last night. We have to read the play script for August and the next play Roaring Trade before a quiz on both next class. Instead of taking the tube back, we walked down Oxford Street back to the flats and wow that street is impressive. There are so many retail stores on that one street it is mind boggling, including all the high-end name brands like Gucci, Prada, Louis Batton, Doice & Gabbana, etc. There are 3 different H&M's on Oxford Street.

From London - January

I was so wiped out that I ended up taking a ~2 hour nap from 6 to 8. Then we did some pre-gaming in the flat and headed out to the club Penthouse in Leicester Square. When we got there apparently Penthouse was closed down, so we got a deal to go into a different club called the Sound for only a 5 pound cover charge. We made our way into our first London club experience. The club was moderately small, with one main dance floor, a bar on the one side, and a couple of other floors for bathrooms and some VIP areas.

We got there around 11:30 or so, and ended up dancing until almost 3am. The SU students basically owned the dancefloor for most of the night. The club was on the small side and the DJ annoyingly switched between songs too fast and overdid the stupid scratch sounds, but overall I had a good time. We went to McDonald's afterwards for some quick food and the took a cab back to Edgeware Road because we didn't want to figure out the bus system. Didn't get into bed until 4am and have to get up at 8am for a tour at the Bank of England from 10-12 tomorrow, ugh.
