A Wonderful Week

I had such a wonderful time in Greece, BUT this week I have realized how much I am absolutely am IN LOVE with London! The city is finally getting a crispy wintery feeling to it.  Christmas lights are popping up along the trees in front of museums and window displays at Harrods and Harvey Nichols are becoming more beautiful by the week! CHRISTMAS SEASON is coming. WOOHOO! 


Classes are going very well, I've been writing so many papers and essays, my fingers are falling off writing this blog, but I do enjoy writing over tests, so no complaints from me!  We have been talking about the media and politics in my American People and Politics class, which is confirming my thoughts about my career path.  I am also taking an upper level division class on Media and the Politics that will be VERY difficult because of the teacher, but VERY fun!


Last night, for my english class, we attended our second play entitled Enron. Yep, exactly what you think it's about and it was AMAZING!  It was written by a young women named Lucy Prebble.  It is only her second play, but it has amassed so much critical acclaim that it will be debuting on the West End next year and then come to Broadway the following year.  It is incredibly innovative in the way that she uses all of the characters in a small cast along with the props and the incorporation of the events of the nineties and the beginning of the 2000's, everything was flawless so I can't imagine how well crafted it will be by the time that it arrives Stateside. Look out for it, book your tickets now haha.


I bought a copy of the play text so when I am home, you are happy to borrow it!


I finished my last big paper deadline for two weeks so now I can get back to appreciating the city instead of being holed away in the library.  My sorority sister who is doing her graduate studies in Spain is in town working with the production copy she interns with and we are having dinner tonight.  This is excellent news for two reasons: A) Because I get to see her, yay! B) We don't have to go to group dinner, double yay!


SO as you can tell, out of 10, my happiness level is currently through the roof!! I thought I would share this happiness with all of you in the hopes that it will brighten each of your days!


Other than that, the only news I have is travel news. We have booked our flights for my birthday weekend in Tuscany, YAY! And, after a long discussion, spanning skype chats with people in three countries.....VENICE is our fall break destination. :) I know many of you, (Jenni and my mother) will be very happy with that decision, and although it is going to be cold, I could not be more excited! I have always wanted to go and Azzurra, of course, will make sure our stay is very memorable!




Love to you all! Have a great rest of the week and weekend!
