Two-days worth... with you in mind.

It's an inconvenience to those of you who are actually reading this blog everyday for me to forget to post, so I'm sorry. Last night's booking extravaganza was, to say the least, tiring. Let's catch up.

I finally had my first acting class of the semester. The teacher (a Belgian waffle who reminds me very much of my 5th grade French teacher Mme. Glidewell) is definitely her own person. Let me explain: the first two hours of class we spent doing Tai Chi. All right, really cool, but not what I had expected at all. So we move inside and do lots of action/reaction exercises. All-in-all, not including the two hour dinner break, the class is six hours long.

Really?

The following was booked yesterday: trip to Belgium (Fri., Sept. 28-Sun., Sept. 30), tix to Parade at the Donmar Warehouse in London, extra overnight stay in London, flight from London to Dublin, overnight stay in Dublin (which we'll discuss momentarily), flight from Dublin to Edinburgh (yes, Scotland), and three-nights-stay in Edinburgh. Today we'll figure out getting home from there...

Now. Scott and I will be meeting Lily and Michelle in Dublin on October 10th. The four of us will be staying overnight in a hostel called... are you ready for this?

PADDY'S PALACE!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I love it!!!

Please do yourself a favor and click HERE to look pictures of Paddy's Palace. We are filled with excitement.

Today is my last class of the week (World Drama in its Context) -- however, Friday is a make-up class day due to our first travel excursion to London.

I woke up this morning to two Dutch construction men right outside my window. I cocked my head in confusion at them and they both looked up and waved frantically, smiling, like I was some zoo animal.

An open letter to the Dutch Authority on Construction:

Waving to American students through a window of their bedroom is very creepy.

Love,
