I’ve been here a month and every time I thought about it today it still doesn’t seem real. I’m kind of feeling better, but not by much. The cold-relief medicine I picked up yesterday is helping a bit, but sleep seems to be the only thing that interests me. However, today I had class, errands, and a play to get to.
Class is becoming more and more about analysis while comparing one or more production elements within more than one production. My knowledge of theatre has been expanded more than I could have ever imagined, and having this space to discuss my findings is nice. Downside being, I’m not the only one experiencing this, and forty people trying to talk at the same time can get awkward.
After class I went with a group to book our tickets for a day trip to Paris. This task sounds like an easy one, right? Well, I swear about two hours later, we were successful. I’m glad the itinerary looks correct, because this process was painful. Partly because of the gentleman helping us, partly because of our group, and partly because my ability to care has been dramatically altered with this cold. At the end of such torture at least I, rather we, were successful.
Dinner, get ready, then show. This will be my life for the next ten days, unless I have a two show day then it will be: breakfast, get ready, show, food break, show. I’m hoping to keep up on here as much as I can, but I’m in the last few days folks and I’m smashing a ton of stuff in. Go me!
The show for tonight was Let the Right One In. As a romantic vampire tale, even when this type of story is becoming a little cliche within pop culture, it still remained highly entertaining. Part of this can be attributed to the pace (scripturally and acting), the mixture of performance mediums (modern dance, fighting), and its cinematic qualities. I liked the show, I even liked it more for only ten pounds.
On the way home Jen and I stopped at got waffles topped with gelato and chocolate. A good way to distract us from the vampire images just burned into our minds. Best part was the last gooey bite where the gelato had melted and soaked into the waffle topped with chocolate, delicious.
