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

Low Bandwidth! :P

Not that it's any excuse, but the lack of posts this week is entirely due to my low bandwidth. You may remember my qualms with the internet here, well because they put limits on us sometimes it's difficult to do as much as we'd like. This week...well, lets just say i've been trying to get in the USA TV that i've missed here across the pond and used up some more bandwidth that usual, so i've got to limit myself so i have enough for the rest of the week. Egads.

Thus, i promise a full (picture heavy) description of our trip to Stamford this weekend! As well as last week and this week twednsday and lots more ;)

Today we had our Julius Caesar showing for the staff. We've been working on Caesar monologues with Michael in Shakespeare for the last few weeks. It was nice to get it over with (i was Cassius) and fun to do. Richard said we did...an ok job, with some good moments--but i guess i'll find out more of what he thought in our individual meeting thursday. He's meeting with all of us to talk about how we're doing. So...we'll see how that goes ;) But in the end I felt pretty good about it. Now we can focus our full Shakespeare attention to The Taming of the Shrew. We're working on doing the play (cut down a bit). It's really fun! I'm Katherine in 3 scenes, one of which is one i really wanted. It's going to be really interesting and i can't wait to see how it all works out.

Alright, i've already used up more today than i wanted to so i'll head off, but look for some big posts in the next few days!

Love, T
