London
Sick Day
I know it has been a while since I last posted, but this is not without good reason. You see, when I was in London I fell very ill, and I have been recuperating ever since then. It has been a long and difficult recovery, but now I am back on my feet and in [...]
The PC Goblin
Technology and I have never gotten along very well. I have tried so hard to be friends with it. Even from when I was a tadpole I really tried to understand technology. I played all the latest video games, I read up on how the systems worked, I even tried to build a computer at [...]
The End is Only A New Beginning
Picture this: it’s 1906, you’re on a farm, the sun is boiling, someone is churning butter and you’re taking down the laundry from the clothes line. You hear a rooster and all of the animals stirring. In the distance a cowboy is woken up from the noises and sees the love of his life, a [...]
Adapt and Survive
I am sorry that I have not posted in such a long time. You see, I have been up to my eyeballs in work, and that is what I am going to talk about today. Studying in another country is not only about the things you see and do, it is also about academics. I [...]
I’m Almost There
Well, only one last week of classes and then performances begin and extra rehearsals will engross my life. As tiring as everything is, I love it. I’ve noticed that lately I’ve stopped playing it safe when it comes to my voice. Although the material that I’m being given is getting harder, I trust that my [...]
Oh Mountview Mountview Mountview…how you consume my life.
This past week, all of Mountview was basically sick and we were still expected to perform at full capacity. I think we really just passed the sickness around because we are in very close space for about 9 hours a day. Classes just kept going and going, ultimately, leaving our bodies with no time for [...]
The Garden of England
As a boy I always dreamed of castles, knights, and dragons. Since I can remember I have always had a fascination with the allure of the great halls and tall walls of castles and palaces. There is such a romanticism attached to those great stone fortress homes that has drawn me into their grey sturdy [...]
Half term…time for relaxation…not!
I’m currently on break for two days after having 8 hours of Oklahoma rehearsal and my singing assessment. Well, actually it’s called reading week. So I’m working on my Irish accent/scene, journaling for 3 classes, finding a song that emotes to me, and learning 5 songs for various classes. Thus, it’s a physical break but [...]
The Things You Find When You Are Looking For Nothing
In this week’s episode I will tell you all about another adventure from London. This adventure is another perfect example of what you never expect to find when you are not looking for anything at all. This idea of stumbling on really cool stuff seems to be a constant theme on this excursion to London. [...]
A Festival of Films
I want to begin this entry with a statement of apology to the people out there in internet land. This has been one of the craziest weeks of my life and I have had no time whatsoever to formulate this post. Between going to class, studying, and going on small but tantalizing adventures I have [...]
