Back on the Island

So, tired and hungry I made my way to acting, mad that I didn't have the good night's sleep I wanted, but happy to have another chance at making friends. There were two new guys in class (yeay more boys!) but I think less people overall. One of the guys is uber preppy New Hampshire, but he goes to Illinois Wesleyan, but doesn't know Krystyna, but he does know Kevin - Laura's Kevin - way small world. So odd. Anyhow, we didn't get to be starfish this time, but we danced to Abba doing the typical theatre mirror exercise, which i kinda hate, but as theatre warm ups go, could be much much worse (big booty....). Then we did 'improv' pretending to leave voice mail messages. Then we started working with our first script. Its a very interesting play, i think. He only gave us the first 2 pages, but it has no characters. Like, the first bit is a bunch of voice mail messages on this girl Anna's phone. (Hence the improv...) But there is no description of Anna except what is left in her voice mail. really odd, but my teacher really seems to hate character, so thats why we're starting with this. At the end, he split the class in two so the class size would be smaller. I'm in the 'early' one. Its at 11:30. I don't mind. But he got really pissed cause very few people would volunteer to get up this early. Damn lazy Americans. Wednesday night is party night anyhow. But I like the people in my section. No luck on friends this time, but I am hopeful for next time. The class is now set up perfectly to invite people out for lunch.
I spent the rest of the day buying paint for my art class which finally starts tomorrow!!!!!!!!! Yeay paint. And going to the cheap ghetto 'grocery' store across the street to buy frozen foods. It used to only sell frozen food, now it has a few other things, like alcohol (I didn't get any), and appliances. I don't know. But it is stupidly cheap. SO thats good. I got ice cream ;) Then I ate a lunch/dinner and took a long nap. Alex woke me up by calling. I ate some noodles and decided to join my roommates at Club Sandwich. This was kinda a dumb choice given my sleep pattern, but I wanted to chill with them.
I didn't really drink given that I was already sluggish, but my one flatmate got pissed (British slag for trashed) which was really funny. She had an early class this morning and was not happy. The club was slow to pick up and I sat and sort of talked with Jason (dancer flatmate) and some of his friends, but they were drunk and odd. We then met up with the other flatmates and danced, talk, drank, took a trip to the loo, etc. I saw people I knew on my own, ie not friends of my flatmates, which made me feel cool and talked to Andrew for a while. He has shoulder length blonde curly hair which is so cool, and is a designer. I was really trying to make friends with him, but it was so hard to talk to him. Later in the night I lost my flatmates and ended up dancing 'with' him, but it was that kinda awkward middle school style bobbing around near someone and he left to go home. Then his friend moved in. I knew him sort of, like don't remember his name but know his face from talking before. He and I danced for a while, but he was getting a bit 'touchy', like "Ok dude, I don't know you so could you not put your hand there quite like that?" sort of touchy, but it wasn't a real big deal, seeing as he was kinda drunk, and the laws of dancing are different then the rest of the world. Then a really poppy fun song came on that i really like, I don't remember which now, which was perfect for American-style jumping head banging dancing, so I moved away a bit and commenced with plan 'try and be subtle that I don't want to dance close to you by dancing like a moron.' That was fun, but didn't work cause when the song changed, he moved back in again just as before. I made the typical girl excuse that I was hot and needed a break and went on a rapid search for my flatmates. But I couldn't find them. Of all the times to need a friend, or even someone I sort of knew, this was it. No luck. Then being the smooth guy he was, he invited me back to his place. Yeah, boys and smooth don't go together, dense maybe, but not smooth. I said I was really tired (true) cause I hadn't slept last night (also true) and that I wanted to just go home (less true, but close enough). He said ok, see you later. What a gentleman...not. So I walked home very quickly doing exactly what not to do, ie walk home alone at 2am in the ghetto, but no one bothered me. I heard my flatmates come in later. Guess they were still there somewhere. I went to sleep and slept in really late. Yeah, Club Sandwich #2. Not having good luck with guys at that place. Third times the charm?
So today, Thursday, consisted of sleeping, grocery shopping cause my milk had gone bad and the bastard cleaning lady threw out my Fanta. Grr. But I bought yummy food for dinner tonight and I'm excited to go cook. I've already been in the library longer than I wanted and want to eat my yummy food. I then went to the library and researched internet, not looking good, and phone SIM cards, looking really good. The creepy guy from last night came into the library while I was talking to Alex on skype (see...Skype....get it!!!) but left me alone. He came and said hi later, which is a good sign that maybe he believed me last night and there are no hard feelings. We'll see. SO thats all for now. Class tomorrow!!!!!!! I have never been so excited for class... I feel lame. More when it happens.
