home, home, home

I haven't put any more of my travel pics online yet - I will some day soon though!  Home is nice and Return of the King is awesome.  That's all that's new!  ;)

2 days to go

In two days I'll be sitting in Heathrow airport waiting to board my plane.  It feels like a long time from now - but the fact that there are some people leaving TODAY, who are already AT the airport, is soooo strange to me!

Things have been fantastic.  I did a little more Christmas shopping, saw His Dark Materials Part 1 (the books by Phillip Pullman are quite good), went out to the Ministry of Sound for Jeni's 21st birthday, had all my last classes (and finally got that damn Directing project out of the way), and yesterday Ian McKellan shook my hand at the London RotK premiere :) :) :)  Our last London Theatre play was poo (Sweet Panic), but Mourning Becomes Electra was amazing - it rivals even The Pillowman! 

Tonight is our last big bash at the Student Union, and then tomorrow is going to be full of packing!  If I had AIM, I'm sure my away message would say "Packing my life away" for the majority of the day.

Have I mentioned I can't WAIT to get all my digital pictures online?  Oh, and I have housing for next semester!  Danielle and I are living in a Macgregor suite with Jen and Debbie - it'll be good times!  Trailer park, here we come ;)

As my last thought in this Journal while in London - pray it doesn't snow so Lydia has no problem getting to my house to come see LOTR with me!

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

The time when I update my wish list on Amazon and share it with you ;)

2 more weeks!

I can't believe I only have 2 more weeks left in London. Crazy! I kinda wish I could come back here again on January 12th rather than going back to Muhlenberg...
I think it's been two weeks since last time I wrote, so it's kinda hard to remember what I've been up to. I know that I saw The Straits with London theatre the week before last, and went to Stratford upon Avon last Sunday. Other than that I know I worked on my papers quite a bit, and watched Elizabeth with Danielle. Don't know what else.
This past week my mom and sister were visiting, so that was really nice. I was in Stratford when they got here, so I didn't see them until Monday, when I met them for breakfast at their hotel EARLY in the morning! Over the course of the week we saw the Tower of London, Madame Toussaud's (sp?), Harrod's, the Tate Gallery, Covent Garden market (a LOT), Tell Me on a Sunday, The Pillowman (best theatre I've seen in London - so GOOD), Jerry Springer the Opera, and the movie Mystic River. Plus of course Leicester Square, Trafalger Square, Piccadilly, and they did some tour stuff while I was in class Tuesday morning and Wednesday. On Wednesday I saw Jumpers on the West End with London Theatre, but I wasn't overly impressed by it. Club Sandwich was reall fun that night though. Thursday was Thanksgiving, so mom's friend Linda came in from Birmingham to visit. Now that they're gone I'm SO tired; I seem to have a major sleep debt that I need to catch up on, and I've been doing so whenever possible. Last night Danielle finally saw The Matrix for the first time, and liked it, and tomorrow night we're going to see Mourning Becomes Electra at (where else?) the National Theatre. We need to make the most of our last two weeks here! We have Jeni's birthday, our last London Theatre play, a trip to the Theatre Museum, the London LOTR premiere, our two last Club Sadnwiches, and His Dark Materials planned... we'll see what else comes up!
