All caught up

After last nights posts and writing an entire history paper, I am creatively drained. I am not eloquent or descriptive- I have nothing left to give :) So here is my day - cut and dry :)

I woke up this morning and got to school a bit early because I had an internship meeting with my coordinator to make sure everything was going well. After walking up three flights of stairs - TWICE - because I couldn't find the office - I finally sat down and we talked about how great everything was going. I really don't have many concerns, and I think Robert knows that it will take a little while before my phone skills get more comfortable - aka, understanding what the heck the person is saying on the other line. But otherwise, everything has been smooth sailing.

After the short meeting, I went to my theater class where we discussed the show we saw last night, Hedda Gabler. It was a modern day interpretation set in Notting Hill and it was so fantastic. The acting was phenomenal and the setting was extremely intimate- only seated about 40 people on velvet cushioned benches just inches away from the performers who are not elevated on a stage, but rather use the small room as the entire set. You felt completely enveloped by the action. The students in my class all loved it, and we analyzed it, discussing set, wardrobe, plot differences from the original to the modern interpretation, likes and dislikes.

After eating my packed lunch, it was off to history where we had a seminar to prepare for our first essay - this just means we broke up into groups, analyzed documents and answered discussion questions. We were let out at 3 pm and I decided to go into the office (just a short three tube stops away on the Central Line) and visit Robert - not to mention use the computer and free Internet to start my paper. He was a little startled when I came in because he wasn't expecting me, which was funny, and then we caught up before I got to work. He headed off to some auditions and I had the office to myself. It is like my own library - totally quiet, and I must admit I have been needing to get away from the flat of seven girls and have some time to myself.

So needless to say I stayed here until 7 pm and wrote my whole paper :) I wanted to get it done before mom came anyways, and I was just on a roll. It definitely needs editing, but 1,873 words later, I am a lot closer to completion than I was this morning :) yay!

And now I am about to leave the office and do nothing for the rest of the night but watch Friends or a movie or maybe I will even go out and buy Sex and the City the movie - yea right, pay 20 pounds for a DVD (that is 40 bucks....)... no way, BUT MAYBE MOM WILL BRING IT TO ME! (hint hint :) So I am going to RELAX now that I am all caught up.... ah, that feels good to say.

Miss and love you all
Jenny
