What a beautiful day out today! The temperature is so mild and breezy and the sun was out, blue skies in sight! The weather must know my mama is coming! On Tuesday to be exact and I couldn't be more excited :)
Sorry for the delay in posting, it has been a busy two days and I am actually off in a bit, so this will be a brief update. I will have more time to write this weekend!
Yesterday I went for a run and then we headed off to class. My run was kind of a bore and I had very little energy. The wind kept throwing cob webs from the trees into my face and I was just not feeling it. But then, about midway through my jog, this old woman past me (what is it with me and old ladies?) but she called out to me, "I wish I could be doing that," and in that moment, sappy as it sounds, I was uplifted at the fact that here I am complaining about silly cobwebs when at least I can freakin run.... bit of a reality check and it made me glad I was young and in London and had the ability to work off all the food I have been eating :) It was one of those moments you just feel a little lucky inside.
My goal is not to come home with the study abroad twenty (you know, there is the freshman 15 and the study abroad 20....pounds of course...) well not if I have anything to say about that... and so far, so good :) I do so much walking and going up and down escalators here, it would be impossible for me to become a complete heffer.... so thank goodness for that.
Anyways (so much for being brief I just spent a whole paragraph on my morning jog...) I went to my history class, which was same old same old and then from there James, Ashley, Mike, Jen and I went to a pub and had an afternoon beer :) (where I kept my eye on the dirnk the whole time, no worries parents) Then we went to a BBC Radio show taping as a part of one of our classes, and I had to pee so bad the entire time - it was completely painful and I could not leave. I was so about to burst....I vow never again to drink a pint of any kind of liquid before going anywhere.... ever again. But it made for a good laugh :)
Our advisor Brooke then took us to Spaghetti House for dinner (you would think we were in Italy with all the Italian food we have been eating - but I love it!) and we had a lovely (and on her) dinner, which was really delicious. Afterward, the girls and I got all dolled up and went to Zoo Bar, a club in Piccadilly. It was a real blast, tons of dancing and music and techno lights, and we had a really good time. After we went to a Karaoke bar and I sang "I Love Rock n Roll" Britney Spears style and got a standing ovation... it was a proud moment.
Today, I went into the office so that on Wednesday I can spend the whole day sight seeing with mom and Don. I had such a blast. Of course it was the usual grind of castings and phone calls- by now you have the idea of what I do in the office. But it was such a fun Friday, just doing work and hanging out. Then Robert took me out to lunch at this awesome restaurant called Slug in the Lettuce or something like that, which sounds absolutely disgusting, but it was an amazing menu and I had really good chicken, and the bread was really good too. I know I always put so much emphasis on food, but it was a highlight. Plus the conversation was so fun. I gave Rob the breakdown of what a sorority is, and he had so many cute questions - then he decided he wanted to start one with Gordon :) Very funny.
Ooo! Another high light of my day, I called this casting director, Alice, to confirm a fax number, and then I politely asked her (Rob gave me the go ahead) If she could spare one more ticket to the Broadway show Dirty Dancing on Monday night so that I could go with Rob and Gordon, and she said she never does this, but that she would this once! And she wrote to Robert and said I sounded lovely so she had to give in!!! How cool is that! ? I must just have a way with directors... just kidding :) I am sure she just thought why not throw the pathetic American a bone...
So now I get to go to the show for free with my two buds :) Cannot wait!
A client, Adrian came in today and watching him and Rob interact was so funny, the things they talk about and the way they talk to each other was really entertaining :) Adrian is amazing too, and had just come from an audition for Cats which is touring in Germany, so it was really cool to meet him - I love meeting our clients.
As for right now, I am sitting in the office and watching GREYS ANATOMY SEASON 5 EPISODE 1...that is right my friends...Rob hooked me up! He has a downloader that gives the episodes for free...I am sure it is illegal or something, but who cares :) I am in heaven!
I think after last night, the girls are staying in tonight, so that will be fun :) maybe I will reenact the Grey's episode for them so they don't feel left out :) I must practice my acting skills anyways to be a help to the children ;)
More soon.... (I said this would be brief.... I guess I don't have the ability to be brief once I get rolling...)
Love and Hugs,
Jenny
