Wait

And...back again to the daily grind. Not much happening. Just waiting for the ball to get rolling with stuff. But, on the plus side, the daily grind is in England, so I can't really complain.
This week I've gone to class, the gym, and to my internship. My internship work is starting to pick. Not a lot, but some. I worked around the office on Monday, making more copies and helping organize things. My favorite part of that day was the sign they had in the copy room about office fire safety. On the sign, it said "assign these duties to a competent person".
Today, I went to the first rehearsal for the show I'm working on at the egg. They're putting up a show called "Beasts and Beauties", which is a collection of European fairy tales. The cast is made up of 12-13 year olds, which makes me smile because that's the age group I worked with a lot with RCT (Riverside Children's Theatre). I even had a huge RCT flashback today watching all of the kids say hi to each other after not being together all summer. Memories...And let me tell you, these girls were all more fashionably dressed than me, even the ones in their school uniforms. I showed up in my jeans, sweatshirt, and comfy t-shirt, while lots of these girls were all glammed up. There were a couple of girls wearing the Bath-outfit, which is a shirt that barely covers your bottom and then leggings. No pants, just leggings. It's a trend in the US too, especially Gettysburg, but everywhere you look in Bath you see girls without pants.
But anyway, it was really exciting to be at a rehearsal, but there wasn't much for me to do. I mostly sat around as they did theatre games, which was fine. Theatre games are much cuter when they're done by British kids. They were doing games focusing on energy and focus. The highlight of my night was, when the group of kids was asked what the general attitude of the group was, one of the girls said "It looks like they're not bovvered." I just about lost it....(this is why it makes me so happy.)
Last night, my roommate, my Gettysburg friend, and I went to see Sweeney Todd at the Main House of the Theatre Royal. It wasn't a great production - it was a community production and really one of the hardest shows to put on - but I still really enjoyed it. The best part? The comp tickets! Definitely the best part of working at a theatre. I figured the tickets would be way in the back of the house, but it turns out that I got great orchestra (or stalls, as the British call it) seats. It was the perfect place to sit in the theatre. And I can't wait to get to see more free shows there.
As an attempt to make this blog end on a (hopefully) more interesting note, here's a fun fact about my daily walk. On my way to the city center every day, I get to cross over the gorgeous river Avon. But, at the corner of the bridge, there's a little hut. Like, a little house. I don't understand why it's there or how someone gets to live there. (I can just picture the ad - Sweet little hut. Convenient bridge location.) In the window, there are little faded plastic figurines, including a couple South Park characters and a naked caveman. So I'm just waiting for the day when I cross the bridge on my way to town, going trippity-trop, and this troll jumps out and wants to eat me. Hopefully I'll be able to escape by saying that I'm too small to eat...here's hoping.
