Sigh...Education

Sadly, little of note has happened here since my last update. I spent the entire weekend and week working on a history research paper, an art history research paper, and two theatre reviews, all due during the week. Thursday was a day of recuperation. Until this point, I had mostly forgotten that I am indeed still in school, and must work as such.

Thursday night, all of us hung out in Kate and Sophie's place next door, which was all the more fun because we had all been stressed in equal measure this week. Then yesterday Laura and I saw this "Sleeping and Dreaming" exhibit at a museum nearby, but we were disappointed at the surface-level mix of art, history, and science that the museum failed to adequately bring together.

And at night...I saw Wicked in London! Josh called at 6 PM saying he could get tickets, so of course I freaked out and agreed. One hour later, I was up in the rafters in the Apollo Victoria Theatre for twenty pounds. Totally worth it. The girl who played Elphaba was fantastic, but Glinda's speaking voice was so damn annoying I wanted to take a munchkin hostage until it stopped. Glindas should stop trying to imitate Kristin Chenoweth's voice, which is naturally high-pitched, and just speak. So annoying. But still a lovely play, even though I missed Erica / twinnies / Debbie who I have seen the play with at home.

And I just bought tickets to go to Nice, France at the end of the month!! Very exciting :).

Ugh. I just wrote a comment but I am incompetent at life and it disappeared. Oh well. I shall write again.

I am so jealous. I've never even seen wicked and I really want to. And you saw it in london! YAY!

Paris sounded like soooo much fun. I just read it in my physics class and was laughing (Needless to say the teacher was talking about capacitors which are not that amusing). I def garnered some strange ass looks.

But for you. It was worth it.

stop having so much fun. its making me jealous and unproductive. :-P
