My First Blog!

Welcome to my blog! Thanks for stopping by. Can't believe it's taken me 6 months to get this thing going, but my first semester was a killer. From October through December I was eating, sleeping and breathing Arts Management. The good news is I passed those classes, one "with merit" even! I'm now about to wrap up my second semester, for which I only had one class. Do not ask where that time went- Jan. and Feb. seemed fly by. Not really sure what happened, but I know I:
  • Wrote a 3,000 word essay on cultural regeneration in Birmingham
  • Saw some great theatre - "The Seagull" w/Kristin Scott Thomas, "Don Juan in Soho" w/Rhys Ifans, and "John Gabriel Boorkman" w/Ian McDiarmid (best known as the Emperor from Star Wars films)
  • Continued on quest to return to victory at our local pub (The Nobody Inn) quiz night. We won back in December, but The Alliance has been off its game ever since, placing 2nd or 3rd (always the bridesmaid, never the bride!)
  • Came up with thesis topic - "Hurray for Hollywood - The impact of American film stars in the West End" (so far that's about as far as I've gotten...need to 'get to steppin'' as they say)
  • Landed a marketing internship with a theatre company - Net Curtains
  • Started this blog, whose name is based on my second favorite television show (after "Buffy" of course)

Will update the blog at least weekly with various updates on life in London and feel free to post comments!
