In my performing arts class we have to bring different things in every week. For our midterm we had to perform a dialogue and a monologue. I was not worried about the dialogue at all. My partner Ellyn and I had already performed it once in class and nailed it. The monologue that I picked however was not the easiest. I decided to stick with a performance from Shakespeare's "As You Like It". The language was hard to get down but I had been working on it for a few weeks. I did feel a bit bad because by the time I performed it Tracy and Debbie basically knew the entire things because I made them sit through it so much. I say all this to say that it was the most fun thing ever! After those performances we went out to celebrate :)
My favorite bartender Sally Anne was there to celebrate with us too! This made me very happy. What a great way to end a nerve wrecking day.
The next day, Tracy and I went to work out in the morning as we normally do on Thursdays. I hurried to get ready and headed out for my last midterm. Tracy and Debbie came into Richmond after my final exam. We were able to walk around, grab lunch and walk by the river. We headed home and relaxed for a few hours and then went to the Wine Circle for a wine tasting. It was so interesting because there were all different types of glasses and the instructor told us to switch the different types of wine into different glasses. The differences that it made in the taste and smells were amazing. I never had any clue that certain glasses made wine taste good. I was asking the instructor some questions at the end of it and he told me he was very sorry to show this to me at such a young age because my life is now going to be very difficult when it comes to drinking wine.
Our menu that went along with all the wines
Friday was a day of relaxation. We were all very exhausted from the exciting week that we had. It was a fun relaxing day. The three of us were able to sit and bed and watch movies and forget about the rest of the world for a while. After we realized that the day was almost over we decided to get out of our sweats and head out for some dinner. We went to the Monkey's Forehead which is a place that Tracy and I have been wanting to check out for a long time now. When we got there we overheard a man talking to a friend of his about his strong beliefs on different things in life including marriage, theatre, and Christianity within it all. We were intrigued so we asked him to join us. It turns out that he goes to the Church that we have started attending on Sunday's. He is the Youth Intern so it was very interesting to learn more about the church and how it works. We were very encouraged by Daniel because it is not often that you hear people openly talking about Christianity in a public place.
Saturday we went into London for the day. But in doing this we went to the coolest place ever! An IceBar. That is right. Everything is made of ice including our glasses and excluding the ceiling and floors. It was about 20 degrees in there so they provided us with huge jackets and gloves to wear. They also only let you in there for about 45 minutes. We all loved it!
It was such a blessing to have Debbie here with us. We all had so much fun the entire week. It feels weird not to have someone here after having Michael come and the Debbie. But there is a lot of work to do because our furniture has arrived. I slept in my bed for the first time on Tuesday night and it was the best night sleep I have had since August. It kind of feel like a little bit of home is now here with me. Pictures of the move should be up by the weekend!
