So I didn't do a whole lot today but I have a amount to write about...and once and for all tonight and I going to finish up all of my half written journals and post them on my website. I went to bed last night at 10 because I really did not feel well. And it was still a challenge to get up this morning. I got up at 9, made myself a cup of tea with some honey for my throat and was super lazy...I put my hair up got dressed, washed my face and that's about it and it took me until 9:40 to accomplish all of that. I went to my 10am seminar and wow was that interesting. Last week I got there a few minutes late and grabbed the chair closest to the door. I got stuck sitting by this nerdy kid with a pda thing and then he had a little keyboard for it and everything. He talks all the time and I was sooo annoyed with him by the end of the period. Today I got there early but walked in the room with everyone. I sat in the second row, thinking he would sit in the first, but nope. Did I mention that when we were standing outside the classroom he had his music on and I could hear it...he has these giant headphones. So here I am sitting in the second row with one other kid between Ingrid and I (yeah that's his name, kinda fitting and I want to take a picture for you, cuz he just looks nerdy) Before class even starts, Ingrid whips out his thermos, takes the cover off and pours himself a cup of coffee. I already didn't feel good and the smell of that coffee made me nauseous. Then the instructor hands out these papers and tells us to read them and wants us to discuss them in groups afterwards. So guess whose group I got to be in...I don't think you will get it, so I will give you a guess...Ingrids!!!! I was SOOO HAPPY!!! The thing that we had to read was literally 8 pages long. And I think Ingrid poured himself three or four more cups of coffee during this time. It was so annoying cuz the room was silent. So now I had to listen to this kid talk when we were discussing (did I mention he has an annoying voice) and not to mention he brought up pointless dumb s*** that didn't even pertain to what we were talking about and he talked a lot and wouldn't let anyone else get a word in. The articles were about the music business and companies changing the artist because they don't like their new songs and that it takes longer to produce now cuz of the media and everything else and the artists kind of get screwed. And Ingrid was talking about stamps at one point what the hell. There was also another kid in our group that talked a lot, but he was not so annoying, and made good points. There were questions that we were supposed to go over, like 9 of them and only really talked about the first one. It was mostly those two and their opinions and such of the music business not to mention Ingrids dumb points. When we got back together as a class Ingrid said more dumb stuff and the instructor even made fun of him at one point. I was so glad when class was finally over. I can't stand the sound of Ingrid clicking open his thermos for more coffee. He was pouring the coffee that was left in his cup back into the thermos and spilled...thought it was kind of funny and the instructor just looked at him weird. My instructor is a little out there, but I like it. Oh god help me.....next week I have to get a spot in the back row, but they all know each other and I feel bad intruding...but I know the one guy in there. I will have to keep you posted on what happens next week cuz I only have this seminar once a week. Everything is once a week here. After class I seriously needed some drugs so I went to Boots (pretty much the same as walgreens only smaller and they don't have food and other random stuff). I got some cough medicine which is awful and this inhaler thing for stuffy nose (it works really good) and some more cough drops (I had brought a few with me). I got home and took my drugs and crawled in bed with a book. I got up around 1 and ate some cereal and then I fooled around on the internet for awhile until about 3 and then I was tired and took a nap. I woke up at 5 because I had to go to play practice at 5:30 especially because I had missed last Thursday. The people in this group are so friendly and I had been telling this one guy last week that my birthday on Sunday and when I was talking to him after I got there, he asked how my birthday was. How sweet that he remembered. We didn't do a whole lot today just sat around. Its so funny because the director has the hardest time with saying my name. She had problems during tryouts and tried to repeat it again today and it came out Keari...its hard to type it. Anyways I found out that I am a fairy...kind of exciting but I had hoped for something a little more glamorous. We just watched the movie today and that was about it, but I am glad that I had something to do, otherwise I would have just slept. So I got back and haven't done a whole lot, just kind of messing around on my computer. I made myself some supper because I was starving as I hadn't had time to eat before practice. Right now it is almost 9 and I am sitting here eating my chicken tikki masala and rice stuff. Yeah its this frozen dinner thing that's not too bad., it was pretty cheap. And I am drinking Lemonade. I brought some of these crystal light packets with me. So this is American lemonade that is yellowish, not clear like here. I will have to take a picture for you...I was a little confused the first night when we went out and my flatmate said she was drinking lemonade and it was clear - but now I have caught on. Love you all - smiles
