English Residential

For the last two days I've been in Stratford-upon-Avon on my English residential. We stayed in the Youth Hostel and did activities based around our texts, as well as visiting the theatre in the evening.
Yesterday we worked on our Shakespeare, as well as doing warm up games like charades. We had to produce mini-versions of our plays, which was quite fun. There were 4 versions of Twelfth Night, but our group is doing Henry V - which was good because it meant everyone preferred ours as they were sick of the other!
In the evening we went out to the theatre to watch As You Like It, which was brilliant. I'd never seen it on stage before so really enjoyed it, and the girl who played Rosalind was excellent. It was vaguely confusing in the fact that one guy played both the Dukes, and only showed the difference by taking off his coat, but once you'd figured it out it was easy enough!
Then followed an interesting episode where on the way home, our teacher got bored and drove us round a roundabout about 20 times - I kid you not - just for the sake of it. Our English group was in a minibus, but everyone else was on a coach. So after having driven round this roundabout for about 5 minutes, we drove off to try and find a chippy, but failed and so had to go back!
Our beds were less than comfy, and creaked every time you moved a muscle, which isn't good when you're as fidgety as I am! But hey, I survived. I was actually really worried about the accommodation, because I have an insane fear of Youth Hostels after having been told lots of horror stories once when I was about 8. It was perfectly adequate, but everything still felt dirty and slightly unsecure to me!
Today wasn't quite as fun as yesterday; we just did work on our modern novel (Spies by Michael Frayn). It was still better than school though! And over the course of the two days I've met lots more people, and got to know other people far better, which to be honest was for me the main reason for going. So a success! Although I'm exhausted, having not slept Sunday night either, but there we go.
I'm just going to collapse this evening!
And that's all my news, exciting life that I lead.
