Gifts and Shakespeare in the rain

I had to work the early shift again, which means that I had to be at work at 7:30. Consequently, I felt quite sleepy all day long. At the end of my shift, Xue was coming by my workplace. She was applying for some jobs nearby and dropped by to say hello. She also left me a little gift - some bath salts that I definitely have to try out sometime.
When I got home after work, I received another gift: A care package my mum had sent me from Germany had arrived today.
I had planned to go and see a Shakespearean theatre play tonight and Katrina had decided to join me. Since there was still some time before we had to leave, we watched one episode of 'White Collar'.
The play took place on a lawn in front of the Camosun College. The stage and everything was outside and people could either bring chairs or a blanket to sit on. We had a blanket to sit on and some more blankets to keep us warm, which had been a god idea as it got really cold. Just when the play was about the start, it also started to rain a little bit. Due to us sitting right in front of the stage, we couldn't really open any umbrellas. Thus, a rain jacket and a blanket was all we could use to keep us dry. The weather kind of matched the setting of the play, though, which made it more interesting.
The play itself was really good, the actors were great and even though we didn't understand everything that they were saying due to the typically old English expressions, I really liked the story, too. It was 'The Winter's Tale', a story about a king who looses everything due to his jealousy and is later reunited with his supposedly lost daughter and a wrongly accused friend in a happy ending.
The play ended around 10:30 PM, so it took almost 3 hours (including a 20 minute break). Since we were feeling a bit chilled, we were happy to get back to Katrina's car. Sitting on the grund definitely wasn't the most comfortable position, but it was definitely an interesting experience.
