It is my final night here in England. I have had a lovely time overall (despite countless injuries, mostly minor, but really, what else is new?). Here was how I spent my final afternoon and night:

After class I traveled to Leicester Square with Ryan, Donna, Jeanette, Julie, Katie, and Kristin. We ate lunch at Garfunkel's, which I was not ( Read more... )

  Just finished rehearsal for the final performance, which is in less than an hour. (Really, we're the first group on. Good!) After class today I'm looking at either 1) going to Leicester Square to get a ticket for The Female of the Species or 2) take a nap for the afternoon and skipping a show tonight in order to get a good amount of sleep before ( Read more... )

  I'm going to update as much as I can during the remaining ten minutes of our break. Here's a quick overview:

MONDAY
  Class was fine. My RT piece went well and was well-received. Also performed Mitch's piece, also well-received. After class went on a tour led by Callum from St. Paul's Cathedral, through the streets of London, and eventually to and ( Read more... )

  ...So I'll update later!

After reading ALL DAY (pretty much), I was greeted at my door by Ryan, who was also hungry. (All I had consumed was a bun and two peach slices, as well as a cup of tea earlier in the day.) So we headed to Steeles for Thai food (again). Happened to meet up with about half the faculty for the Institute, plus the other USMs (except for Jess M.) and a ( Read more... )

  It's right here. I decided to take the day off from sightseeing, show-seeing, and traveling to rest up for the rest of the week.  Donna is still in Scotland, while Ryan, Steve, and Heather went to the white cliffs of Dover for the day in order to relax on the beach. Since that's not really my cup of tea I stayed here and...drank tea, actually. I ( Read more... )

  I don't want to repeat anything from the last entry, but I was so tired last, I don't remember what I wrote...hope this is all new:

Spent the morning (and afternoon) at the Tower of London, in total over five hours. Got a guided one-hour tour from a real-life Yeoman (who was quite funny, actually), which helped me decide which places I wanted to ( Read more... )

  And today, you ask? Plenty.
  Class this morning went fine. Watched a performance of World's Afire starring the faculty (and Callum -- with an American accent, nonetheless). Rehearsed my RT piece, as well as Mitch's. Got half-price tickets at Leicester Square for Brief Encounter by Noel Coward. (Yay! More on that later...) Also went on a two(-ish ( Read more... )

  The last couple days have been interesting, to say the least. Very exciting times! I'll try to recount everything I can remember, since so much has happened. This may be quite long, but I promise it's worth it:

Slept from 7pm through 7am Tuesday into Wednesday, but was feeling better in the morning. Went to class, where Callum (read his bio if ( Read more... )

  Feeling better, but because I went to bed so early, I've been awake since 12:20. (It's now 1:40.) Sprayed some SleepNow, but now I'm feeling nauseous and my headache is back. I feel like I just can't win...
  Tomorrow (today?) will be a better day...
