Today I met a few of the MA students at the Institute. Only one was doing my particular MA! She's straight out of undergrad and is also an actor which is awesome. I bonded with three gals specifically. Two Americans and one Australian. We laughed practically all night. Sadly they aren't in my degree but they seem freaking awesome to hang out with. I am currently reading a book entitled "What Good Are the Arts?" It's hard to comprehend and I have to finish the whole 300 word book by Wednesday. This doesn't include the two other books I must read for Thursday and the blog I have to comment on by Tuesday at 9 am. I'm in for a world of hurt this week. No going out Monday.
I have to get my ID and Visa checked on Monday. Going into Birmingham should be fun...NOT! Ta Ta for now...will let you know how it all goes when I have time to write!
Cheers!

New Chapter, For Reals This Time
I again, need to work on this blogging thing. I also really don't like my format anymore. Should probably change it at some point. I am about 3 1/2 days out from leaving for my big move to the UK. I leave Thursday via Virgin Atlantic and hit London by Friday. I've got a packed two 1/2 week once I'm in country! Over the weekend I've got to unpack and get situated and on Sunday I have a mandatory meet and greet of some of the current students. Monday is Orientation and then I have to hop on a train and head to The University of Birmingham to get my ID and my visa checked as well as stuff for getting a bank account/doctor.
I'm pretty terrified I'll admit. This is probably the biggest, most stressful thing I've ever done. In the end it will be worth it though. I think the whole moving across an ocean is a big deal in itself. Plus, I'm dealing with shipping hell and the fact that I am only bringing one piece of luggage, a carry-on, and a big arse backpack! I hope to update you guys again right before I go. If I don't, you guess will get an update once I've moved into my flat...hopefully I can post my Friday night. I look forward to my roommate and the fact that I don't have to take a single piece of public transportation to do the things I wanna do...i.e shopping and the like. Except for the occasional train rides to Birmingham and other stuff for school. I also should probably not be typing and instead should be reading. I've got three chapters left of this one book and then need to start on another. Then after that book is done it's two books for my History of Shakespeare in Performance class, but thank God those are only like 4 chapter in each book! #gradschoolproblems
