Last weekend without parents: Glyndbourne

This weekend is my last weekend without parents L. I really enjoyed my last weekend!! Saturday, Louis and his mum were practicing all day in Glyndbourne for the show on Sunday. Willem was coming to Lewes, and some other students told me that they might come to Lewes as well. Willem arrived at about two/three o’clock. We first walked through Lewes, but there isn’t much to do in town, so we decided to go to Brighton. So, after a short walk through town, we took the train to Brighton. In Brighton we went to the pier (again). However, there is so much to do there, that you won’t get bored, even when you go there for the fourth time in six weeks. I couldn’t stay that long, because I had to study for an Anw Exam next Monday. So after having played lots of games, sport activities, lunch and some drinks, Willem and I headed back for the train station. Willem was staying with a friend in Brighton, so I was going back all alone. I had quite a weird train trip :P… I won’t tell why ;)!!

Sunday was the day many students of LOGS and of course the three Dutch exchange students had waited for: Glyndbourne. We left around twelve o’clock and Theo and I drove with his brother in the most amazing car I have probably ever sat in. It was really cool because the roof was open, we put the volume much too loud, and were all wearing a suit with sun glasses XD. When we arrived at Glyndbourne, I saw one huge building, looking like the Globe theatre in London. We weren’t allowed to enter yet, but were first going to have lunch at the grass fields near the building. In England, picnics are quite common. Many families have picnics instead of for example going to the beach or other events. Carrie came by to have lunch quickly, and I asked if I could come inside with her to meet the students doing the show. I was allowed to go inside and met all my friends and lots of other students of LOGS who were all really worried… Anya and Clara showed me the podium and I found out the building was MASSIVE. I think there is place for about one thousand people ;)! I found it really brave that all those students were playing music, acting, or singing in such a HUGE building. The show started and it was GREAT!!!!!! The performances were of such a great quality! The acts were funny, dancing skills were amazing, and most of the students sang great as well! I think I’ve never seen such a great show in the Netherlands. I found it so brave and excellent because the students were acting great shows while having one thousand people watching them… After the show, I immediately ran to the change rooms and congratulated all the amazing students. Jack needed to get some medicines in Brighton so I decided to drive with him to Brighton, of course including all the music and no roof :P. It was great!! We enjoyed a beautiful sun set le driving really hard along the coasts/beaches. Jack decided to pick up his medicines next day so we just drove through Brighton back home. We were both really cold when returned. At night we had a lovely meal, and I studied hard for my test next day.

My last weekend without parents was amazing!! With many thanks to Jack, his car, Glindbourne, and all the amazing LOGS students who proved their acting/dancing/singing skills are amazing!!!
