Happy Thanksgiving!

This is the first thanksgiving i've ever spent away from home. Like my dad, thanksgiving is one of my favourite holidays because its full of amazing food, hilariously good times and some rather fond memories.

The United Kingdom doesn't celebrate thanksgiving...although i do think they look at it as a cute little american holiday. I have seen some thanksgiving food signs (at wholefoods and tesco), but we've had classes and basically just had a normal thursday. It's strange thinking that college students all over the country are leaving school and heading home to see their families.

We are all homesick and wishing for yummy thanksgiving smells, so we've all decided to do a potluck thanksgiving! Sunday we're all coming together bringing different things and having a big dinner together! Sinead and I are signed  up for Stuffing...we shall see how that goes! :D

Tonight I'm going to see Cat On A Hot Tin Roof which i am so excited for! I've been waiting to see this show for ages and ages (as you will know if you've been reading for the last few months). I got the tickets in september!

I promise tomorrow i'll tell you all about the last two weeks! Ireland and Bath! This week has just been busy because we have our shakespeare showing tomorrow (So my group is presenting Taming of the Shrew!)

I hope you all have a wonderful thanksgiving!

Full of family, love and lots of yummy warm food.

Especially potatoes!

And don't forget to think about everything you're thankful for <3

I know, i know. BUT, it's been a crazy few weeks. Weddings, bath, Ireland, Movies...so much. I promise i'll update you bit by bit this week. And a lot is happening this week too. Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Thanksgiving and our shakespeare showings! It's insanity!

I can't believe i just have three weeks left. It's going to fly by and snail along all at the same time. I'm excited to get home and see everyone, but i'm also so sad to leave this place. I think it's going to hit me harder than i expect. But we'll see.

Updates soon, i promise.

love, T

A Real Friday?

I'm writing from school because i have half hour to kill. It's very strange to have an entire weekend looming ahead after my shakespeare class today. This is the first full weekend for us LDA kids and i think we're all pretty excited. I've got lots of very fun shows coming up. Next week Aylia, Sienna and I might go see this band, there are a few concerts Sinead and i want to see. Thats one of the great things about living in the city...there is so much going on. It's difficult to fit everything in because we are doing so much work, but we try. The one thing i miss is having a library so close at hand. At trin, i can just walk right over to the Library and have the entire researching world at my finger tips...but it isn't the same here. One of my goals this weekend is to find a good library where i can do some research. My obvious first stop is the British Library, i believe this is my best hope.

Tonight i'm going to finally see Sarah! She's starting classes here next week and it's so nice a.) knowing i have someone i know from home so close by & B.) that it's sarah because i love her terribly and i'm so excited to see and catch-up with her. So hopefully we'll get some coffee and do a bit of chatting which would be fantastic. <3

I've just got tickets to see Cat on a Hot Tin Roof in November with James Earl Jones. I can't wait, i just think it's going to be brillaint. I LOVE Tennessee Williams and i've never seen this play so...i'm very excited.

I'm also hopefully going to see Inherit the Wind with Kevin Spacey. Now, i did Inherit in my Sophomore year of High School and i'm very interested in finally seeing it. ALthough Miles and Anthony were fantastic, i'm just interested in getting the audience perspective. And, of course, getting to see Kevin Spacey at the Old Vic...well thats just awesome. I think we're going to try to get the tickets on Saturday (aka tomorrow) so i guess we'll see how it goes. Yesterday when Sienna and i attempted to find the Old Vic, it failed terribly. SO...we shall see.

Alright, i should head off to Shakespeare. Sorry this wasn't terribly exciting, and i've still got to finish up on last weekend. But sadly i've used up ALL my alotted badnwith for this week (posting all those pictures!) so i've got to wait until tomorrow.

Cheers,
T
