Day 91: Wales Watching

Song of the Day: Beneath a Moonless Sky. From Love Never Dies. As I promised.. more songs from the amazingly outstanding musical. This one by far is one of my favorites. Then again, I would only mention my favorites on here, so scratch that last comment it proves redundant in a sense. Back to the song.. beautiful! and incredibly hypnotic. hehehe.
Again, I know, I haven't blogged in absolutely forever. And for the last three days it wasnt entirely my fault.. I didn't have internet. But all those other days.. yeah.. totally my fault. But I'll do a little update. Just got back from Wales! and no.. I didn't see any whales. I did go to this cool outdoor museum that looked like I had just walked into Pride and Prejudice. All I needed was Mr. Darcy to walk around the corner and then I would have been in my own first rate Novel. haha. and then I went to this church today and it was absolutely amazing. It reminded me of my home church back in Georgia.. We just worshipped and yeah, it was wonderful. There was this little old lady who came up to us beforehand and gave us cokebottle candies and she was just so sweet and reminded me of my Grandma. Which made me miss home.. and so on and so forth. But now I am back in London and have loads and loads of homework to do.. as usual. I swear, I cannot wait until I am home just because that means I have almost two months of no school. This work load is bloody ridiculous. You want to know exactly how many papers I have due in the next three weeks? 23. thats over one per day. yeah.. ridiculous. like I said. yet here I am blogging and uploading pictures to facebook. which reminds me... go check them out!! they are of Halloween party and Wales!!
The halloween party was fantastic. I did Jill's, Aimelle's, Jessica R's, and my make-up! And then I did my hair too. It was an awesome night just because I love dressing up. Probably a huge reason why I am a theatre major. I mean come on... I get to dress up and become someone else for a living!! Well, if I am cast that is. And if not I get to work backstage and watch other people do so. Pretty good gig if you ask me.
Nothing besides that has been happening.. Pretty boring if you ask me. I am going to Disneyland Paris in a week. So let's just say that's about the biggest excitement of my week, nay probably the month. because by then it'll be november! And my birthday will be a week a way. I am pretty sure it wont feel like a birthday at all over here. First of all.. it'll be my first without my family. Secondly, what am I supposed to do? Go to a pub and buy a special meal? oh wait.. nope can't go into a pub. Go to a store a buy myself a new pair of jeans? Oh wait.. they don't carry my size (and if they do.. they fit awkwardly and look ugly). Thirdly, we'll see how many people care. Because I mean, November seems to be the month of birthdays for people over here.. and im the last one.. so it's like.. so what.. its your birthday.. weve already celebrated three. lol.
anyway, i am off to bed. exhausted one might say. Or just ready for tomorrow to come. either way, have a wonderful day. Until next Time. :D

Day 84: Just because I want another reason not to do homework

Song of the Day: Till I hear you Sing. Sung by Ramin Karimloo in the new Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Love Never Dies. Which is pretty much a sequel to The Phantom of the Opera. I saw it last Wednesday night. It was absolutely epic, and the songs of the day will probably be from the musical for awhile.. at least until I run out of the best songs. But this one.. is definitely one of the best... I literally can't stop listening to the soundtracks. The musical has been getting rather bad reviews over here in London, which is bogus. I mean, don't get me wrong... it's very different. But so amazing! Anyway, if you want to listen to a snippet of this song click on the link, and there you have it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYssEMBrlCM Heaven for your ears.
I apologize for not blogging for over eight days. So many things have happened and I've kind of been way too tired to talk about it all. So I'll do a brief synopsis of my week!
First: Monday I had scenefest. it is completely finished. I passed Intro to Theatre!!! hopefully with an A, but probably with an A-. And if I get anything less you bet your britches I will be having a pretty intense discussion with my professor. Speaking of such things.. Art class makes me want to poke out my eyes with an ice pick. Ugh, I'm still so frustrated I wasn't allowed to just drop the class. Why everything has to be so difficult over here is beyond me. I'm so glad I only have one more month left. I mean don't get me wrong. I'm have a blast, but for every amazing beyond fantastic moment there has been an equally aggravating and potential murderous moment. I could give specifics but then we'd be here for forever. The point is, I miss home. And I'm grateful to be getting back within the next month. Staying up with homework is getting pretty bad too, and that's not good. I was doing so great keeping up with all the pointless busy work assignments and now I'm so over all of them. So I have to work harder to actually just do the papers. Hence finding every potential thing to procrastinate my work. Bad habit really. Anyway.. back on topic. I saw Love Never Dies, like a mentioned above. Just reiterating how amazingly good it was. I really hope they bring it over to Broadway soon. And then this last weekend I went to Dublin, Ireland. It wasn't as neat as Scotland because it was an actual city and well, actual cities don't have much to do besides shopping. But I did get to buy most of my Halloween costume!! Which I will share with you all when I take loads of pictures at our Halloween party this Thursday!! the day before we leave for Wales! which again, have no idea what is in Wales exactly.. but what the hey.. I'm going! So yay.
And here's another thing that annoys me.. the fact I don't have Internet in my room.. so I have to come down to this stupid library and listen to these stupid girls laugh obnoxiously and talk loudly and singing!!.. so i hear them over the music blaring from my headphones.. i would like to politely shove this Internet chord down their throats. I know that sounds violent, but well it is. They're very annoying. obviously I wouldn't do that.. I just get very frustrated. I just want to listen to my Love Never Dies soundtrack.. and they're making it SO DIFFICULT!!!!! ugh. Anyway, tomorrow starts a new week of school.. how exciting.
If you have any questions.. feel free to ask them.. I cant really think of anything else to write. So this will be the end of my rambling and venting. Until Next Time.. :)

Day 76: Studious student.. that's me

Song of the Day: Dynamite... but not by Taio Cruz.. well okay he was the original.. but there is this guy named Mike Tompkins on Youtube.. and well.. he wins.. and he's so pretty. and just to prove it to you.. here is the link.. GO TO IT!!! At least I think i added the link.. I dont really know if it worked.. if not.. go to youtube.. type in Dynamite Mike Tompkins and Wa-lah youre there. yay.
And yes.. i know I've missed two days worth of blogging.. but ever since the ten day excursion around England I just haven't had the discipline to do so.. that and internet is all the way in the basement.. and here I am sitting all by myself at 2 am .. where I could be up in bed.. warm.. and alone.. but warm.. and safe.. theres a lock on my door. there is not a lock on the library door. Just saying. But anyway.. I've been up doing homework for once.. so I've actually been pretty productive tonight.. unlike today.. where I spent over 5 hours shopping.. and guess what I ended up buying nothing.. (well i got some shampoo and face wash.. but i wanted pants.. i need pants.. but alas I bought no pants because there were no pants that looked remotely worth buying) and to top it all off.. I fought off hordes of people today for nothing. Seriously.. it was worse than black friday. I don't know how people do it here.. how they shop? like I cant even explain how much I dont ever want to do that again. so yeah.. a big waste of my Saturday.. it upsets me so much. I could have been doing so much more.. but whatever.
So.. on a more positive note.. I saw the movie RED.. with bruce willis and all those wonderfully older actors.. well I LOVED it. like literally.. LOVED it. thought it was action packed.. but also hilarious.. and incredibly witty.. and just LOVED it. you should go see it. seriously. the end.
Okay.. so literally one more day until Scenefest.. and who isnt even close to being done with their production book???? yes. me. surprise surprise right? But i swear ive been working on it.. and i have made a small ish dent.. but im just frustrated because tomorrow is my day to be back up for worship at church.. and thatll take a good chunk out of my time to study and do work.. but oh well.. ill make the best of it and at least I get to sing.. i havent sung in front of people for an awfully long time. I'll let you know how it all goes. Well Im off to bed.. or to work on my homework.. its slightly debatable. lots of love and until next time. :D

Day 73: on point

Song of the Day: River Deep, Mountain High by none other than Glee. Well redone by Glee.. originally it was a celine dion song.. but I am pretty sure that Santana and Mercedes did the best job ever. I've been listening to it all day!!!
So I went and saw Romeo & Juliet ballet style. It wasn't too bad. There were a couple of parts I may have dozed off during.. but for the most part I was pretty interested. The best part was I could do my own inner dialogue between the characters because there were no words. bahaha. i win. And then earlier we had rehearsals for our scenefest scene... it actually went well. I mean no one is really off book.. besides me.. and most aimelle.. but it will be okay.. we can do this. I have the entire weekend to perfect my acting and make the production book that is due monday morning. woot. I am also going to be all alone in my room this weekend because Jill is heading off to Paris with her family. I'm slightly jealous.. because I wish I was heading off to Paris.. or really just anywhere over here, with my family. I miss them all so much.
Other than that I don't really remember what I did today. I should have edited photos for facebook but of course I did not. I did memorize mroe of my other scene that's due Monday so that's good right?? oH boy. I just found these movies on Youtube that I may have to watch on my spare.. okay cross that out.. i have no spare time.. just in time eventually.. But theyre BBC movies.. Shakespeare Retold.. they have Much ado, taming of the shrew, midsummer nights dream, and macbeth.. (and in macbeth is James mcavoy!!! AHHHH). So yes.. majorly excited about this right now. But I promised my mom Id head off to bed.. apparently Ill get sick if i continue to stay up this late.. haha. On to yet another day.. :D Until next time.

Day 72: On My Own

Song of the Day: On My Own from Les Miserable!!!! Because I saw it for the first time tonight and it was beyond EPIC!!!! I fell in love. Not with anyone in particular, but the entire musical. No wonder people love it so much.. it's absolutely fantastic. And this production obviously did wonders because I am gushing my praises right now!!! I am just so hyped on the amazingness of it all.
I am excited for tomorrow because I only have one class. YAY. That means the rest of the day will be spent editing photos, rehearsing my groups scene for scene fest, and going to a ballet. Which Jill and I are getting all decked out for. I'm doing our make up and she's doing our hair. We shall look fab. I already know how I'm doing her make-up.. so YAY. I mean.. I don't know how it'll turn out but I mean.. I do my make up and it turns out pretty good.. so I think it'll be just great. I wish I had more to talk about, but sadly I just dont. I finished my first facebook picture album from our ten day trip today.. so if you havent checked those out.. feel free to do so now. And then.. well that's about it. Glee is on tonight!!! Of course I don't get to see it until tomorrow.. but the music that I bought.. well it is absolutely wonderful. I love all the songs. And I just know this next episode is going to be great. Better than the last one at least.. because I just didn't like that one that much.. especially the song choices. Oh, and just so I can make you all extremely jealous (or at least the girl readers) we are going to see this new musical titled Birdsong in two weeks.. and the main guy.. he's the same guy who plays Prince Caspian in the Narnia movie series. His name is Ben Barnes, and he is slightly beautiful. So be jealous. bahahaha. Watch.. the one night we go we get an understudy.. mehhhh. But at least I shared that little tid bit with you hehe.
I wish I had more to say... or more to say about something interesting and relevant, but alas I do not. I am going to hop into bed and finish my journal because it is due tomorrow.. wooo.. And sometime soon I need to go out and buy new shampoo, conditioner and body wash because sadly I am almost all out. Darn me taking showers so much. haha. Well, lots of love. Until next time!! :D
