Day 32: To Fringe or not to Fringe

Song of the Day: Dancing Through Life from Wicked. It's been in my head all day. I listened to Adam Lambert singing it on youtube. He's a little box of vocal yummy goodness.
So today was rather low key. I did nothing. Well okay that's a lie. We went to the Royal National Theatre and took a tour of it. Pretty amazing to say the very least. I also went and saw a fringe performance of Medea (the Greek play by Euripides). Now, it was definitely fringe, but I wasn't a big fan of it. Like it was really well done and the concept was super unique, but there were only two actors and I'm kind of a fan of having more than just monologues throughout the whole thing. But it was interesting. For any theatre people reading this who have taken movement of any kind... Doc would have sat there riveted. When the main character (Medea.. obviously) wasn't speaking.. she was doing this elaborate never-ending movement piece. The entire time I was thinking... I have to take movement 2 next semester... maybe I could use some of this stuff. No joke. Doc would have been proud.
I just spent the last thirty minutes or so going through websites and finding plays that we're not going to go see as a group.. and I would like to note that Fringe theatre is much less expensive than any west end theatre. It's ridiculous the price difference. But I found some really cool ones, so I'm excited to look into it more. also, I counted up how many shows I'll be seeing with my classes (at least as of right now because Ronda randomly adds some now and again)... and the number is 21. I will have seen at least 21 plays by the time I get back in the states. thats about 1 and a half shows a week. Awesome. I'll have to put them all in a list from bestest ever to mehhhhh. It will be great fun.
Well again, I am off to bed, because I wait until the last moment to write these blogs. I wish I could stay up longer, especially since I get to sleep in... but maybe I'll get up and eat breakfast! I want to stop having to buy lunches, so I just have to stop being hungry. all the bloody time. Good plan aye?
Until next Time. :D

Day 31: PoiNtLesS...

Song of the Day: My entire Ipod. Well actually just the playlist: Once again with feeling. Awesome songs in which I listened to all day.
Again.. short blog.. because it is 3 am in the morning here and I just remembered to write this before I pass out on the bed only two feet from where I am sitting. And don't think I'm holding out on you... because I literally just dont have anything interesting to talk about and I dont particularly think writing a list of what I did today would be all that thrilling.. but I guess I could.. so this wouldn't look so darn pathetic... here goes it:
-woke up
-ate breakfast
-helped aimelle present her National Art Gallery presentation where I was a muggle and she was a witch (harry potter themed.. obviously) and we had to travel back in time to get the rites for all the paintings... it was so cool. we used her rainboot as a portkey. And people laughed, so I figured it couldn't have sucked too badly.
-took a nap
-went to intro to theatre... got a rather poopy grade on a quiz.. should have read.. but did not. learned my lesson now didnt I? haha.. that's a lie.. it'll probably depend on the topic. And don't think I didn't read at all.. we were given two chapters.. I just didn't read the one the quiz was on..
-came back home on tube
-talked with Jill for at least an hour and probably more about Harry Potter and Twilight. We didn't compare them or anything.. but if we had Harry Potter OBVIOUSLY would win HANDS DOWN... Like infiniti hands down. But we talked about certain themes.. and then compared the movies to the books.. and what we think theyre going to leave out of the next few movies. It was a good discussion.. especially since Jill is a newly turned fan.. (she just read all the books last year.. I was so proud)
-went to dinner.. it was gross..usually its not gross.. but today it failed
-watched A Midsummer Night's Dream film.. the one with Stanley Tucci and Kevin Kline ... so it was awesome.. but just a time taker upper
-came back to the room where i preceded to write in my journal
-do a tiny bit of homework
-Skype my Grandma and Lauren
-Think about the fact my mom was supposed to Skype me in the evening but never did... booooo.
-write this lovely and superb blog
-go to bed (though this is more of a guess than an actual fact considering I am still awake.)

Well there was my first day of September. I think I left some stuff out.. like the fact I ate a cheese and tomato sandwich. I just cant get over how good they are!!! well anyway.. until Next time!! :D

Day 30: Stress Relief

Song of the day: The Dark I Know Well from Spring Awakening
I am going to bed. I went to the Globe to watch the Comedy of Errors. It was okay. They used the same actor for each twin, so instead of heaving two different actors playing the twin Antipholus's they were both played by one. It was very interesting, but overall I wasn't thoroughly impressed. In fact I think I liked my high school's production of the comedy of errors better than this one... and that's saying something considering I'm in London. But anyway, I'm off to bed because I pulled an all nighter last night and I'm exhausted. So have a great day. :D Until next time.

Day 29: Can I get an AMP here?? Pronto?

Song of the Day: Dream On covered by Kelly Sweet. Pretty much the most beautiful rendition you'll ever hear of this song. Got in on my ipod. Be jealous.
So I am blogging so early in the day because I know I won't have any time at all tonight.. because guess what?? I feel another all-nighter coming on. But it should be the last one... at least for a very long time.
I took my Intro to Theatre midterm today.. and I only missed one!!! So I got like a 98!!! Wooohoooo. That literally is about all I've done today... besides getting two of my 5 papers finished. Seriously, I have to write so much. Shoot me. Again, lame short tiny blog, but I can't really think about anything but homework at the moment, so I'll give you all the updated goodness tomorrow sometime maybe... depending if I don't pass out from exhaustion. Keep your fingers crossed. I wish they sold mountain dew here... it would make everything so much easier. Until next time. :D

Day 28: But I am Le Tired

No song of the day, because I listened to no music at all today. Shocking I know.
And I would just like to point out my absolute dedication to this blog... because I was warmly tucked in my bed when I remembered that I hadn't blogged yet today.. so I got up and here I am. To let you know that my day was actually boring. I went to church, ate lunch, watched Shakespeare in Love (because I had to for class... not because it was a luxury.. that doesnt exist for me atm), I finally posted all of my pictures up on facebook (Go look and comment if you are bored and have nothing else better to do.. or even if you do.. go check them out anyways), and then ate high tea, and finally did homework. And now I am going to bed. So even though this is yet again one of those blogs that is pretty un exciting.. at least I posted something!!! Oh and tomorrow is going to be poop. Just a forewarning. haha. until next time. :D
