Only one more sleep 'till Christmas


Merry Christmas Eve!!! I know it's been awhile since my last post, but things have been busy around here, with finishing school and getting ready to leave. Like most students the last couple of weeks are always the busiest because it's time to study for all the stuff you needed to know the whole semester, just kidding. But I did have a bit of a cram session for my classes, but everything turned out all right, so a couple of sleepless nights aren't so bad hahaha. Along with cramming for finals I was also working on "crew" for my school's production of Rent, meaning I was helping back stage, this time I was on costume crew, I was helping the actors with their costumes, so most of my time was spent at school from November 12-December 12, fun stuff. Again just kidding, I made some new friends so it wasn't all bad ;). Now on to the important stuff, Wales!!! In less than 2 weeks I will be in Wales, getting ready to start my classes. I've been researching UK mobile phones, voltage converters for my laptop, weather conditions, and baggage information for the flight. It has all been fascinating and exciting to really know that this is where I am going to be for the next 5 months! (If any of you have info that could help me with any of this, I would be grateful :) ). I can't wait to start my first class at Trinity, a Shakespeare acting class, it is a dream to learn about performing Shakespeare from a director who directs a Shakespeare company in Stratford-upon-Avon, where Shakespeare was born!!! It's also pretty crazy to think about, and I want to do my best so I am trying not to freak myself out about it too much. haha :) He already sent us our first reading assignment, which is just summaries of the plays we will be working on, and for once I don't mind doing my homework. haha Ok I think that is enough rambling for no, and I think I have brought you up to date on everything, so until I post again I will leave with some more photos of some of my Trinity info :) Merry Christmas Eve, Merry Christmas and Happy new Year to you all! :D

And the countdown begins...

Well, here it goes my first entry for this adventure I'm taking to study Acting in Wales at Trinity University. I'm not truly "An American in Wales" just yet, but I will be very soon. I have 28 days until I leave on this amazing opportunity, and there is still so much to do. So I guess I should get on that instead of sitting here and just writing to you all about it. I'm just kidding I love you all, whoever you may be. I could keep talking for a long time, but I will leave some mystery for now, no sense in giving it all away at the beginning, there's no fun in that. But I will be sure to keep you all updated on my progress and soon these entries will be coming from Wales, and I will have lots of interesting stories from my acting training and my travels. So, I think it is time for me to depart for now, but I will be back soon, I pinky promise. ;) Goodnight everyone :D
