Last Friday, my dad and I went to Ikea in London to pick out furniture I will need for my house, as it is not furnished. I was able to pick out some nice furniture for fairly inexpensive. My dad will go back to Ikea on Friday to pick it up- as Friday is moving day! I am just counting down the days... it sucks living in a hotel and out of 4 suitcases. I can't remember where I put everything so everyday I struggle to find things.
Saturday has been the best day of the journey so far.... I got to spend the day in central London! It started with a train ride from Camberley into Waterloo station and then to buy theatre tickets for the night. We decided on "The Mouse Trap" a London classic that has been playing for over 60 years. Then... the best part of the day.. we went to walk around Chelsea! I am obsessed with the show "Made in Chelsea" so I just needed to see it in person. As we were walking, I walked past a pop-up store of a clothing brand designed by one of the cast members... and she was inside! I went in and introduced myself and she was so so nice! And took some pictures.
Then we met up with Jessica and her mom for dinner! It was SO nice to see another familiar face and I couldn't do this without her. Well I could but it would not be as easy and I am so thankful she is here with me!!! Dinner and the play were fabulous and then we took the train back to Camberley.
I have just been preparing and brainstorming ideas on how to transform my classroom into the year 3 theme of "Wonderland". It will be a lot of work but the results will be worth it and the children will love it. I work all week this week; planning and setting up my class. Then the little kiddos come on Sept. 3! So excited.
