I hope mid-terms went well and that Fall Break is relaxing. There is no Fall Break here or mid-terms! With that being said my first paper deadline is coming up in the beginning of November. Thankfully, I still have plenty of time to complete this assignment. The struggle is going to be too real when I return home and actually have to study for a mid-term, what is that?
WICKED the Musical: SOOOO I went to see Wicked and I was super excited because I love the music and visually it's amazing! First off I had extremely close seats!! Uni really hooked me up! I was about the 7th row back and just off to the right. Overall, I thought the show was great as always however, I do have to say that sound wise, I wasn't impressed. I don't know if it was the stereo equipment or acoustics in the theatre but the overall sound quality from the orchestra and singers was weak. Vocally, I felt like the performers were soft and not as powerful as the show back in the states. Acting wise I thought the cast was phenomenal and there were definitely some UK touches added to the script which made it original. It was a fun night and I was glad to spend it with my Uni friend, Rosa. We also had a fun adventure coming back to Uni after the show. We took the wrong train and ended up having to catch the very last train back to our station and we were running at one of the stations with our "take away" from McDonalds! Haha. It was quite the scene.
TENNIS: The first match of the season...and WE LOST: Not to make excueses BUT it was FREEZING, RAINING and WINDY! Haha but in all honest the team we played had to deal with the same elements and according to my teammates they are the top team that we face all season. I felt a little better after losing and hearing that. It was also the first match I have played in months. Moving forward I look to work hard at practice and win the next. I hate to lose more than I love to win! I live by that quote when I compete. As a team four of us went to the match and we all lost. It was a tough at the office, however we are going to come back stronger and learn from this match. Stay tuned for more updates!
SCREEN & SCRIPT CLASS: I am currently working on three different short film scripts and they are coming along nicely. I am really enjoying the class and the feedback from my classmates and lecturer. My goal is to come back with at least two final scripts for short films and have ready to pitch to a producer for a film festival! There is also a competition amongst us students in the class. At least two scripts will be chose by the production students here and they will choose the scripts they like the most and film. Finally, the will enter those films into the British Film Festival for next year. It would be cool if my script was chosen! I will keep you all updated on if one of my scripts is chosen.
The next musical on my list this week is, "The Phantom of the Opera" I can't wait to go and see this show! The last time I remember seeing this musical was when I was too young to appreciate it. I look forward to the different style of the musical and vocal performance! I have always loved Opera!
Overall my experience here in London is going well and I am taking in everything I can. I can't believe it is almost the end of October! It still hasn't hit me that this my Junior year. I am having the time of my life!! As always leave comments and if you have any questions you want answered just leave a comment!
CHEERS!,
