Aout!
"yay its august! american express is quite possibly the worst card ever. ive run around this city for three days trying to figure out how to get money with it and apparently you just cant in paris. some big stores accept it like a credit card but for the rest of life here you need cash. so ive been effed. i also got effed with my phone. you cant put min on a prepaid vigim mobile phone if youre in france.at all. super lame. good thing im back to london tomorrow. i cant wait to see all the show in the west end. as far as sight seeing goes, alex and have covered this city in just 3 days. its been wonderful. today we saw notre dame and the moulin rouge. along with various other parts of ile de france. its pretty here. but i miss san diego. it will be GREAT to see all my friends again."

20th July
End of week 3
":( This week wa by far the roughest. We had a trillion things to learn. all of which were wonderfully difficult but alas we got through them. Im lucky really, i ended up in a great group. Were all about intermediate to adv. skill wise (whatever that means) and we're all rather eager to learn and take in as much as humanly possible. We all get along and have put together some really great work. im sad that we only have a week more but the time so far has felt like so much more than just 3 weeks. theatre people are ridiculous.were all used to this routine of forming close and personal relationships and then never or rarely ever seeing the people again. i suspose it comes from having to do shows in short periods of time. the curse and blessing of the busniness. I really do hope i see at least some of these people again after BADA. A lot of them live in LA or san diego which is cool. and other live in NYC which is even cool. I may have to go out for winter break. Though who knows what the future holds. Time for the talent show then HARRY POTTER!!!!!!! "What passion hangs these weights upon my tounge?" -Orlando, As You Like It"

"net cafe two days in a row. thats a record. i supose its bc its the weekend. yesterday i spanked some shakespeare ass so today has been relxed and wonderful. im going to see harry potter tonight, finally. along with more lounging around oxford and dinking on the lawn. I dont think i can explain how wonderful being able to lounge around having a drink or 7 mid day actuslly is. We had a master calss with MacBeth and Lady M from the RSC production we saw last week. Wonderful. Part of me doesnt want to leave but part of me is excited to come back to school with all my new knowledge. I have friends from all over the states now. I think im going to hop over to NYC for winter break and do a bit of visiting.There are also quite a few people from SD and or LA here :D"

I love Mick B. he a comic genuis. We did mask work, and let me tell you, that shit is hard! I have a biggilion lines to memorize but cest la vie. I will however be able to put something new on my resume: Has ALL of As You Like It and Hamelt memorized. No joke. We have to memorize every part of both plays. Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!

29th June
First day
"So I arrived early and found Oxford. I was going to hang out with Alex, but I couldn\'t find her hotel. I take the bus into town and I\'m blown away by how beautiful everything is. It\'s SO pretty here! Ridiculous. I went to Balliol to ask them where the best place to stay is and they said I could just stay in my room for the night. :) I met Ian the porter, and Ian the door man, a bunch of people who work here and saw al ot of people touring the school. It was the open house day for prospective students. I got settled in, read Two Gents. and then headed off to party. Met some kids my age and drank and danced the night away. School starts today! :D"
27th June
Leavin' on a jet plane...
"It's 7:35 am and I couldn't sleep in any longer. I leave for San Fran at 1:15pm. I'm so excited but at the same time it hasn't really hit me full fledged yet. I can't wait to get there. It will be about 2am here but 10:30am there. I'll hop over to the pub and have a pint, some food, soak in England, and then sleep until the next days check. I think I'll do the monologue thing on the plane. Prep for the audition and such. I'm not sure what I should wear. Do I dress up like I would here? Hmm.... Also, I don't have a "full length" (Ankle length) skirt. I do have a few shin length skirts, but perhaps i'll have to find one when I get there. Wow, I never thought this day would come. :D"
