5 Days and Counting!

Hello everyone,

Sorry it's taken me so long to update my blog. Things here at home have been really crazy trying to get things done before I leave for my trip. Since my last post I’ve added a new section to the right that has my bucket list of things I'd like to do while in London. I debated with myself on whether or not I wanted to go to other countries outside of London on my free weekends but finally decided that London has so much to offer and that if I wanted to be able to see the majority of it, that I wouldn't have time to go anywhere else since our course load is pretty full.

Speaking of Course work, I received both of my syllabi's earlier this week and started feeling a little overwhelmed more so with the Shakespeare and the Renaissance class than with the Theatrical Styles class. While there I'll see 15 plays, a movie premiere, participate in 2 different workshops, numerous tours (including one of a crypt where the Burbages are buried), Group led chapter discussions, a Group Project and two individual projects. While it seems like a lot I’m hoping that it won't be as overwhelming as I first imagined. I'm just glad that I'll be getting lots of exposure to all things theater. But Since I’m still here in the states all of that will have to wait a couple of days.

I feel like I still have so much to do before I leave. I need to start packing because I work all weekend and don't think I’ll have time to do it when I get home. I still need to go get an adapter/power converter so that I can use my laptop overseas as well as getting other necessary things for the trip, so I guess that means I have a SHOPPING trip in my future, more like tomorrow or early Friday morning (yay!). I'll be missing a lot of birthdays while I’m gone so I’d like to be able spend some time with those wonderful people before I leave as well. Needless to say I feel like there are not enough hours in the day to do what I need to do before I leave. I guess it's time for me to get off and try and finish some of those things, so until next time.

Hello and Welcome!

Hello everyone and thank you for taking the time to check out my blog.


Although I haven't officially left for London just yet I thought I'd take the time to play around with all the features that way while I'm there I'll already have it down to a T. While there I plan to update my blog whenever possible since I know a lot of my friends and family want to know what I'm doing there. I've put a couple of helpful things on the sidebar that I thought might be useful including a tentative itinerary and contact info. Remember that if trying to contact me London is 6 hours ahead of Texas time. As I take new pictures I'll also add them to the side as well as to my Facebook page. I think that's all for now. Once again thanks for stopping by and until next time!
