Spring!!!!

Tuesday it was spring here in London. And it was amazing.

We haven't had spring in the UP in so long, I had forgotten how amazing it is. But it was 57 degrees, and everyone was out in the park with t-shirts on, and I sat on a park bench between three red British phone booths and wrote my screenplay outline.

Then, Charles, Jared, and I went to play frisbee in a park called Torrington Square, and it was packed with people. And we went the whole time without hitting anybody. It was so beautiful. It was sunny, and flowers were blooming, and it smelled like spring. It was, by far, the most lovely day we've ever had here in London.

I really hope it gets like that again. But, like the UP, there's one day of spring, and then it's 30. But I'll keep my fingers crossed.

I finally bought some rainboots yesterday, after talking about buying them since January. I've been dealing with sopping socks for so long, I finally broke down. So I bought some rainboots, which they call Wellies. Which is the cutest thing ever. My receipt-- advice slip-- said, "Wellies."

So, school is great. We've finally started writing our features and our one act plays, so I'm super excited about that. We had a master acting class Thursday night, and we got to learn acting from a British actress, Emily Bruni. We learned about the 7 stages of stress which are: neutral, California, shock, suspicion, farse, tragedy, and catatonic. We had to see what our body did in every stage, and then we did improv with it. It's hard to explain, but it was really fun.

So, yeah, it's been great. The classes have been really interesting, and I've been writing so much over the past two days!

We're on a mission to get day tickets for "MacBath" starring James McAvoy, so hopefully that will happen next week. We spent three days trying, and no dice. So, fingers crossed for that, too.

Anyway, that's about it for now.

Bye from London!
