Mom's Mark

My mom left yesterday and it was really hard to see her go because it was so WONDERFUL to have her here! Just like with Chelsea, it was so nice to have someone from home here who could meet all my friends! I have heard one of the hardest things about studying abroad is that once you go home people tire easily of hearing too much about your time there because they can't connect with your stories very well. I think that having my friends and mom come visit me will help so much with that problem! But mom really made an impression on everyone and everyone really appreciated having a mother around! She came to rehearsal and performances with me every night she was here and was so helpful, she got a special thank you in the program! Also, two of the guys from my play have a radio show every week and they gave her a shout out and thanked her for helping with the show and played Stacy's Mom in her honor!!! It was awesome! I was very grateful that she could be here for my show, it was a real treat! And besides being awesome behind stage, she introduced tequila to my friends in England. I have included a picture of her explaining the beauty of tequila to Mitch and a picture of Aubrey taking her first shot of tequila! It was amazing to have her here!!! I miss her very much but Emily booked her tickets to see me today and Tonya and Dad might be coming later on, so it has really helped to have that on the horizon! Also, Carrie Branch come to visit this week!!!

Tomorrow I am performing my group performance piece for physical theater. I am a little nervous, but also excited to see everyone else's work and be done with that part of the class! Then on Wednesday I have my last class of the term! I can't believe I'm done with classes already!!! Then Wednesday night Mitch and I are going to see Speed The Play, which is a David Mamet play starring Kevin Spacey and Jeff Goldblum! I'm so excited!!! Well, I had better get some sleep before my performance tomorrow! I miss you all and I will post some pics of my play soon!
