London calling

Today I miss London. I always miss London, but today it's more prevalent. Reasons why have developed over the course of the day, and possibly a little last night. Lets just start by saying last night was hard and when times get hard I find myself yearning for Europe, it was such a lovely escape from the reality of homework and boys and starting jobs. This evening when our parents decided it was time for Miles and I to do homework I said we should revolt and not do it. That led me to listening to Matilda: the Musical, which I saw in London this may and also is set in England where they all have accents. I then found my way from a facebook post to youtube and a girl who talks about British accents and phrases and I ended up subscribing to her. And now I am lost in London. Oh my lovely London. I miss the cobbled streets, the large open parks, the closeness of many extraordinary plays. I was able to see 5 very different very good works of theatre while I was there and I miss it. I miss it so much my heart could burst. 

And so the Bell Tolls

Fall begins to settle in, sunflowers start lining the highways and fall fashion starts a massive upswing. This could just be one of my favorite times of the year, if it weren't for a small hiccup. I have homework. Honestly i really don't mind school, being here brings friends and learning. Homework seems like a massive waist of my time. Which is what brought me back to my blog, I find that writing the words in my head is far more interesting than my Theatre History book. Love theatre like I do, it just has that textbook drone. But as I sit here in the hallway I can hear the chatter of the mass in the costume shop working away their hours waiting for rehearsals to begin, and the want for some alone time that isn't crowded by the black words swirling on white pages has made me realize that sometimes it's okay to just flit away. And I really seem to be doing that a lot this semester, my classes are putting me to sleep already and it's only the third week back so instead I dream. My dreams, I believe, are far to large for my life right now. How interesting a thought, to have wants that are larger than life, to break out of this rut and do something but not exactly knowing how. I have so much love for where I am but I am also so ready to leave and do and love.
