Ok a quick update for those of you who don't read my blog or I haven't spoken to.
I am in London.
I have pretty interesting classes so far one of which involves me going to see shows and then talking about them and another which has plans to go to Stratford for a weekend.
I have been to:
Westminster Abbey
Parliament and Big Ben (walked past atleast)
The British Museum (and seen the Rosetta Stone along with a ton of other wonderfully Egyptian things)
The Globe (and seen A Midsummer Nights Dream--Hilarious!!)
Greenwich (Home of the Prime Meridian though I haven't made it to the observatory yet)
The Victoria & Albert Museum (saw the Cold War Modern Exhibit--really cool they had Neil Armstrongs space suit)
Camden Market
King's Cross- Platform 9 3/4
doesn't seem like much to show for 2 weeks but it's just the beginning. There are plans in the works for trips to Ireland Italy Paris and maybe some Nordic country(Denmark or Sweden or something) as well as Amsterdam Belgium Germany Prague and Vienna (the last 4 in the week after classes end and yes Tommy I know you hate me). I wish we had more weekends and technically I do but I do want some in London/England for exploratory missions.
Other info: I'm living with 5 other American girls which is a dissapointment since the most diversity we have in our flat is that one of us is from the west coast but they're all awesome and we have fun. Everyone's been getting sick but hopefully tons of tea and some vitamins will keep us alive.
Thats about it for now, miss everyone!
Oh and PS, I've blown up outlets twice!

| Todays my last day in North Carolina. Tomorrow I leave for NY and I'll stay with Bari for the night, and then we'll leave for London the next night...
Ah!!!!! I'm really excited I can't believe it's already here. I've been planning on it for years, I always said I would do it, and now I actually am! How often does that happen?
I'm a little worried about the flight. Not because of flying (i <3 flying) but bc I had a root canal the other day and so now I'm paranoid that will act up or my ears will freak or something sucky like that, not thats they're related...
I'll try and keep this up or I may start an "official" Blog like a few other people I know
I'll keep you posted! Later! | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
| IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?
So, here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool...
7. When you're finished tag some other people to do it!

| So every year around this time I start to get really antsy and wanna see people who I don't see every day...by every year i mean it happened last year and now its happening this year... Last year was my impromptu trip to Boston, now this year is the city w/ kc kerri and marc for Rent probably the last time we'll all see it together....really sad
This semester has been soooo long I can't even believe that it's all been the same school year. This school year began with a new building new people and a glucose tolerance test, quickly progressed to emily being rushed to the hospital, getting to know dave and all the complications that came with them finally getting together and then being extremely awkward, somewhere in there I told my teacher/ advisor that I didn't care about his class and pressed on through printmaking (no pun intended) it's so crazy that those classes were just last semester and that Prague was almost a year ago it's just been so long....
I haven't been to LI since january, and even then i barely saw anyone. It's almost the end of the year and i dont really have time to take any more trips outside of whats already planned, (NY this weekend, NJ next weekend for passover) but I miss everyone and i wanna go home (LI home)
On the other home front, i wanna see people in NC briefly, i'm really hoping i'll see nicky while i'm home, hearing from her on my birthday was absolutely unexpected and it made me so happy, a week is long enough to be there though, but from there i go straight up to maine (short stop in PA/LI just to move doug out before we go up and see my friends graduate--again WEIRD) so i don't really get a chance to see people at home...
then i have a few weeks before london and hopefully i'll be able to see people on LI...i think there should be one bed left in grandmas house so when people need to do work on the house/ or in the area involving the house have a place to stay (the obvious alterior motive here being so I can stay at the house and operate out of it when i want to visit my friends) but I'd really like to see people in the first few weeks of september before I go, though I do need to spend some time in NC i suppose
some people have been talking about going over early and getting some traveling and sight seeing done before hand. we'll see what time looks like....
i dont know what the point of this was but I miss people....and at the same time I'm really really really looking forward to Maine and meeting new people (this seems to be a sophomore theme it happened in HS too when i spent the summer at NYSSSA) who knows.... | | comments: Leave a comment |
| I had a dream last night that I went to trinity and it was wegmans but not, and there was a blood drive and I couldn't remember why i was there and I walked around the first floor and on the other side of the lobby from where I'd come in were sitting a bunch of people including a bunch I'd lost contact with, like Alex, Rob, Erik, and I think there were alot more but those are the ones I specifically talked to...it was really weird..then I was supposed to take a train home but I took a bus and half way there we all get off and get on another bus (like school bus for both) and then we got to like a wilderness thing and everyone but like 3 of us (me and 2 others) got sent somewhere else and there was a chester on my jeans and my leg got really heavy but we made it there and then we couldn't find clothes or something and then it was weird ceremony stuff...
somewhere around this point I was awoken by a chainsaw outside my window. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| So short but fun week..
Monday it was announced that Bill Clinton would be coming to speak at our school on behalf of Hillary's campaign on wednesday, so come wed. i skipped class to go see him he was an hour late but angela, emily, mara and i were right up front and angela and i got to shake his hand, he was really cool to listen to and pretty funny,
"when you become president you start to think you are somebody, when you walk into a room, they play hail to the chief, do you know what its like to have people play a song every time you walk into a room? For three weeks after I left office I didn't know where I was cuz nobody played a song! And traffic in DC is terrible, but not when you're the president, you get in the black car with those flags and you just go you don't stop for red lights anywhere! And your plane is so cool, they make movies about it! And when you go to bed at night, it's in the best government public housing in the country!"
I'm in Jersey with my friend Emily and her family for Easter break, we got in last night and we'll be here till Monday when we head back to school.
Have a Happy Easter!!! *or if you celebrated Purim, hope it was fun!* | | comments: Leave a comment |
| So I'm taking kabbalah (jewish mysticism) this semester and as random it is its also really cool and really funny, so i thought i'd share with you some of the more interesting quotes my professor has said that I thought to write down, enjoy...
"A love poem is no substitute for sex."
"That was the most inefficient thing that humans ever came up with, love, sex, and courtship/dating."
"Bad sex destroys the world, good sex maintains it."
"Lions don't write Kabbalah, Jewish men do."
"In my experience, people are irrational, which makes them interesting but problematic."
"I don't like strip malls but I like them more than rotting bodies."

| | So I was just asked to be the charge scenic artist for Venus (the first show of the semester) first on stage is in like 2 1/2 weeks, the only big thing technique wise is this 8X13 foot banner type thing, but 19th century type banner, so big and elaborate --- point being its intimidating especially because last year Pat was charge scenic artist as a senior (i'm a sophomore for anyone thats that behind) and also had a breakdown in the middle of the year... *nervous smile* yeaaaaa exciting stuff | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |

| One more kiss could be the best thing
Or one more lie could be the worst
And all these thoughts are never resting
And your not something I deserve
...
I dream ahead to what I hope for
And I turn my back on loving you
How can this love be a good thing
And I know what I'm going through
...
And no matter how hard I try
I can't escape these things inside
I know, I know
But all the pieces fall apart
You will be the only one who knows, who knows

OL
a
so i'd like to open with the Lehigh Valley Airport is fucked up. I'm sitting in it right now. Emily and I left around 5 to get to the airport and its supposed to be like 10 minutes away okay w/e.
whatever? Ever.
1- traffic
2-dark
3- no signs!!!!!!
we went two towns too far in one direction, and then came back, went about a town over in the other direction, came back and at this point we're driving parallel to the airport and we just can not figure out how to get in for the life of us. then we see someone signaling to somewhere where it doesn't look like theres a road and we're like we're following them, and we do. so we follow and theres a tiny sign that says Airport -->.
yea. so we follow it and we rejoice in our girly fashion. So the airport is basically like 1980's tiny baby airport and has not been touched since its inception. There are a total of 3 people (myself included) in the terminal, not just the gate, the entire terminal...or from what i can see from here and it's two other girls about my age obviously just trying to get home for break, like myself. Right now the flights delayed like 45 minutes so i'll probably get to philly at like 8:30ish and then my flight from philly to greensboro is still supposed to be on time so i dont get to do the annoying get to the airport at like 1AM thing. (yay!) and theres free wireless so I'm happy
So my paper is 85% done--length wise it's really 90% done but because I still have to do footnotes and such we'll say 85%
I realized after I somehow passed set design that I haven't seen my brother since May at his graduation which was like 6 months ago. Way to be weird.
Anyway, I'll return to making up stuff about theater and South Africa and apartheid and fun stuff like that.
Happy Thanksgiving! | | comments: Leave a comment |
| I'm listening to the berklee internet radio network (BIRN) show guilty pleasures
and it's disney day
and they played yoho a pirates life for me
and i was listening to the words and realized what a vocabulary lesson it is for children
so here are the words...woah
Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a pirate's life for me
We pillage, we plunder we rifle and loot
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a pirate's life for me
We extort, we pilfer we filch and sack
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
Maraud and embezzle and even high-jack
Drink up me hearties yo ho
Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a pirate's life for me
We kindle and char inflame and ignite
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
We burn up the city we're really a fright
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
We're rascals, scoundrels villains, and knaves
Drink up me hearties yo ho
We're devils and black sheep - really bad eggs
Drink up me hearties yo ho
Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a pirate's life for me
We're beggars and blighters and ne'er do-well cads
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
Aye, but we're loved by our mommies and dads
Drink up me hearties, yo ho | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
| I feel like I'm not doing anything I want to this semester. I really am going crazy as a design major, the main reason for that being that, I don't want to design!!!! I want to paint, and yes I need to understand design for that, and then part of me doesn't want to spend my entire life painting, which puts me in point zero. My teacher told me I had to pretend that I cared and make him see that I understand what he's talking about or else I'll probably be sitting in his office being taught things until I understand...which I can't handle without going crazy or having what resembles a break down. I feel like I've put this weird pressure on myself to be the normal one and not be mentally fucked, that I gave myself a complex, and I kind of prefer to have come to that conclusion myself rather than have my wanna be buddhist adviser think he understands and tell me how to deal. The academically logical thing to do is to transfer somewhere with my program but I don't want to leave. I like it here, I like the people in the shop, and I like working with my adviser on painting and stuff. I'd just be an art major if I didn't think I needed a theater degree for a job later in life ( a job I don't know if I'll always want).
I'm also pledging APO...I don't think I want to pledge APO and I'm seriously considering just stopping but I feel like I'm stuck. I'll probably drop it, it seems like the best thing right now. I can still volunteer and do good stuff without being with a group.
One problem solved at least. Now I just need to act like I care until December. | | comments: Leave a comment |
