Lots to catch you up on!

Hi everyone!

It's  been a while. . . hasn't it? I'm sorry, I've just found myself pretty busy. What have I been up to? Let's see if I can give you the highlights as bullet points:

*Halloween happened and I dressed as Where's Waldo (or Where's Wally as they call him here)
-This was the cheapest costume I could make that fit the '90s Cartoon party  theme (red tape, white hat, yarn for the pom pom). The party was held at my old flat when I lived here as an undergrad student in Kilburn Park (2008).
*My friend Graig came over to visit from across the pond. He, Ian and I (my firends from Drew) spent the afternoon walking along the Thames.
*I auditioned for the Olympic Ceremonies. Can't tell you much about it as we were sworn to secrecy, but there was a lot of dancing and moving. It was a lot of fun.
*I got a callback for a role specific audition for the Olympic Ceremonies. Wish me luck!
*Matt and I celebrated Guy Fawkes Night (Bonfire Night) by throwing a  bash at our place with all of our friends.
*AND I'M STILL WAITING ON MY STUPID PLACEMENT!!!! I was hoping to have started a placement at least a week or two ago, yet I STILL don't know anything! My tutor told me that she is almost 100% certain as to a pretty awesome place that will take me, but they haven't made it official. I know where it is, but I'm not going to tell until it's confirmed. I'm trying not to get my hopes up. Hopefully by next post, I will be able to discuss further. Obviously, this placement portion of my Masters is so important to me. I am dying to get started and gain experience as well as connections. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

So that's pretty much the update. Other than that, I've just been working and doing school work. Tonight I made my own recipe for the second time. I suck in the kitchen as I've mentioned in the past, but a couple weeks ago I concocted a delicious dumpling soup. Tonight I've made it again but with chicken and leeks this time. I snuck a bowl before Matt gets back from playing football and its tasting fantastic! I am very proud of my work and may even start enjoying it in the kitchen!


I am going to keep this post short and end with some pictures from the party. The night was a lot of fun and involved some Dance Central on the XBox Kinect, Beer Pong, card games, fireworks and even the Stadium was lit up for the Rugby. All and all a very successful night!
