Oops, should've updated this a loooong time ago. To get up to date, I'm back in England. Been back for a month now. I've been having some problems connected to academics and emotional issues, but I'm trying to get those taken care of currently.
I'll post all the pictures I have yet to upload a bit later, here are two from yesterday:
first: me & Kat. Kat's from Finland and moved into Lancaster House in late October & she's become one of my best friends here. second: Helen, me, Lauren & Becki. If I was going to be here next year, I'd be living with them.
I've managed to get myself caught up on Grey's Anatomy, which is such a drug it's ridiculous. It's so dramatic and unrealistic it's crazy but I love it. My next goal is to catch up on House M.D., which is a thousand times better than Grey's, but definitely takes a few more brain cells to get through.
Keeping my mind off of lack of television (too much effort to go down to the television room and care about crap Brit soap operas others will inevitably be watching) has been Wicked. I've seen it three times so far - twice with Idina Menzel as Elphaba (she's amazingamazingamazing!!), those before I left in December (she left the show the 30th of December) and once with Kerry Ellis as Elphie, that time I also saw Annalene Beechey as G(a)linda and I looooved her, more than Helen Dallimore (still don't feel like she fits the role completely, even though she is extremely talented). That was two weeks ago, front row center! But the showstopper for my friends and I is always Adam Garcia as Fiyero, who we make sure is in the show before we go to see it. I'm not sure if my obsession with the show is keeping me sane at the time being or making me go slowly insane. But whatever, I love it and as long as I'm here I'm going to go see it as much as I can.
Clip of Adam in the show:
Very tired today, didn't get much sleep as my corridor rolled in around 3.30am last night and didn't settle down until about 5, ridiculous! I had to leave at 1 or I would have never made it to my Television lecture today - besides, I hate nightlife. I hate being out in town after midnight, it's just a weird, creepy place with weird, creepy people.
Might go watch some House M.D. :)
Thanks for the pics, I always say that English women are gorgeous. I hope you straighten everything out fast, lot's of luck with everything academics and emotions et al.
