so it is my second day at Bankside Housing and the following is true:
1) I have a single room, sharing a bathroom with a Spanish guy named Ray.
2) The Globe Theater is a temple. We will be performing on it after a show at like 11:30pm till 2 am. The very witching hour.
3) Our instructors, Anna and Henry, make this place so much more incredible.
4) People are very cool here.
5) I love Shakespeare.
I miss home, mostly. People. But I am great. Feeling healthy and happy. Glad to be in a room that is all my own and an actual schedule to adhere to. A and I may go to Ireland in a week or so.
Today was the first day of classes and also our first time entering the Globe Theater. I could tell you about that, but it was pretty much everything incredible I could have imagined. Wooden, real, raw, strong... "internal integrity" of craftmenship.
I think might be my first real day of a little bit of missing home, or at least WashU. Facebook, etc. is a terrible disease which sort of diverts my energies and distracts my attentions away from the important things.
Anyways, I am here at a cafe right near the dorm room, feeling low energy and sort of out of sorts. Half of my program is here emailing, blogging, talking to their significant others. Tonight we are seeing Midsummer Night's Dream... we are also going to be seeing the Revenger's Tragedy and Pygmalion later on in the program -- what an awesome treat.
Well, I may blog later but for now, I am existing just fine and a little, ya know... low.
it's pouring and we are going to an outdoor show. nuts.
much love
