Just finished with our final performance and it went pretty well. Now we're off to dinner with the group as a final hurrah, to bad I have two more papers due. Tomorrow is my play reading, hopefully it will go well. One of my actors, Nora, is getting an emergency root canal tomorrow. I'm certainly not mad, it really sucks for her because the dentist basically said that she couldn'y fly with a swollen cheek, because it could pop...gross.

Once home on saturday we'll be very briefly stopping at Adam and Jess's to see baby Sam, hopefully. Then whisking Bri to her home, saying hello to the family, then sauntering up to the Welch Manor to sleep for a few weeks. Food requests include, but are not limited to: tenderloin, chocolate cake, Chocolate chip Cookies, apple pie, Sprecker Root Beer, and Culver's anything.

Almost all packed too, I tossed/gave away half of my clothes to make room for Xmas gifts and other purchases. Its excited to get home, but I'm very sad to leave this beautiful country and even more sad to leave all the friends and teachers i've met. It'll will be hard to explain what i've gone through. Lots o' stories.

I am alive. Barely. Currently I have a pretty bad headache. I'll get over it. Tomorrow is our end-of -term actor showcase. I'm not terribly excited, so I'm not nervous at all. I am nervous for Thursday, when I have to reading of my play adaptation. We just had rehearsal and i think it will go well. Right now I'm neglecting the 1.5 papers i have to write in favor of packing my suitcases. I have a few more gifts to get then I'm done. I've laid out my outfits for the next three days and everything else is either getting packed or going to the garbage. I should leave here with just about the same amount of stuff. Saying goodbyes will kind of suck...I'll miss people, but only some. Just three more days.
