email to my mother

This was an email that I sent to my mother this morning:

Hey Mom,

So I just finished my first class (Intro to Shakespeare) and now I'm just relaxing in the computer lab until my next class. It's kind of a drag because my Shakespeare prof says we probably won't ever last the entire 3 hours, so we get out early. But my next class is only 2 hours later, so I can't go too far. I guess when things pick up and I have more assignments I can do my homework in the downtime. I just ate some lunch and now I'll just email and facebook until class...I had burger king for lunch because it's close by: I'm starting to think my stomach isn't used to American food now. All I had was a whopper and I feel like my stomach is going to explode. Davinder's healthy Indian cooking is doing me some goood...haha

My Intro to Shakespeare class is AWESOME! There is about 18 students, most of which are male, surprisingly. I met two girls who sat next to me, both of them named Rebecca. The one girl actually said she heard of me already from another student that I met at a pub. When I introduced myself, she goes "Do you live in a homestay, and they cook you Indian food?" I was like, "yea...why?" and she responds, "Because my friend Darron came home talking about you saying how cool of an experience you're going to have here!" I'm glad I made a good impression. I also met this REALLY cute boy who is an English Major at Pitt. He also did some theater here and there. He's really nice.

My Professor, boy, is he hilarious! He's very energetic and passionate about Shakespeare. He's kind of old, but really laid back. Because I got to class early after my police speech, I had the opportunity to introduce myself and talk with him. He seemed to take a liking to me, which is great. He talked A LOT about Shakespeare and how the theater itself will play a huge part in our lectures, so I'm excited about that. He's already booked us a tour of the Globe Theater, and we will be going to see some Shakespeare plays in the city. HOW COOL IS THAT?!?! Also on a good note, most of the plays on the Syllabus that we have to read, I've already read. So I have an upper hand on that. We already signed up for 10 min presentations on characters from certain plays; I signed up for the character that I wrote a 10 page research paper on last year. So hopefully my paper is still saved on my computer, and I can just use that information. LET'S CROSS OUR FINGERS THAT IT'S STILL THERE BECAUSE THAT WILL SAVE ME SOOOO MUCH WORK! He also gives opportunities for extra credit, such as re-writing a scene from a play. If he likes it, we get to become director, cast the rest of the class in the play, and perform it! I love this teacher...he knows JUST what I like.

Davinder and I had a good talk, just the two of us this morning. She was asking about you guys ( you and dad), and she says she can tell how much I miss you from the way I talk about you. So feel loved, Mom. Haha.

Ok, well I'm going to facebook now for a little. OH! Mrs Seibert must've read my blog, and she said she's in Human Resourcing too! So I asked her if she could help me get a summer internship where she works, and she's going to look into it!!! Wouldn't that be nice?!?!

Ok, for real this time. I'm going to go. I'll talk to you both later tonight. LOVE YOU!!!

So after I sent this, I watched some of President Obama's Inauguration in the CAPA lounge. Then I went to my Living London in Theater class. My professor is OLD, but really sweet. There is virtually no homework in the class. It just consists of us seeing plays every Tuesday evening and discussing them on Wednesday morning. I'm beginning to adore CAPA....
