Shakespeare in the Park

I just got back from the Open Air Theatre in Regent's park for a lovely showing of Shakespeare's a Midsummer Night's Dream. It was a little long, a little cold, but all around a worthwhile and fulfilling experience. I really didn't understand most of it, but the acting and choreography was done well enough to make it more than enjoyable.
There was no class today, so I spent most of it making lists of what I need to do and then looking for a job. I still need to buy my books and school supplies.
To find a job, I took the tube to Oxford Circle and went hunting. Couldn't find much, but I did find out where I can grab an application to Cafe Nero, which is a popular starbucks ripoff in London. I'll probably check it out sometime this weekend, but am not too optimistic about finding work there. Most of the food service jobs are not looking for workers, so I'll look into clothing or retail tomorrow. I really don't wanna wind up at Woolworths!
While looking for a job, I also did some windowshopping and sightseeing. Oxford Circle's a real happenin place -- lots of shops, restaurants, clubs...you name it. It's also very very crowded. I read in one of my flatmate's books that there was a Kosher rastaurant on Goodge Street, which is in the Oxford Circle area, but I couldn't find it. Must've closed down. I hope to go to one of the Jewish sections of town this Sunday and find some good eats. I also plan on calling or visiting synagogues about Hebrew or Bar-Mitzvah tutoring. Can't hurt!
Ok, Rocky's shaking his head at me for no reason. I will make a new post very shortly with contact info, including my phone number and address to send stuff to. It's gonna be my mailbox at the Ithaca College London Center...not my flat address. The London Center's address is safer and more reliable.
Cheers!
