Almost there

I'm sitting in my hostel in London, barely two blocks away from King's Cross station (!! still excited about it) where I'm boarding the train tomorrow to go up to Edinburgh for the Fringe Festival. For those who don't know, I'm doing a month-long study abroad through UW (for my drama major), where we see a million shows and have class 3 days/week to discuss what we've seen, and how it all relates to concepts in theater.

I'm going to use this blog primarily to write about all (or most of) the shows I see. I'll probably write about a variety of things, though, so if you don't like theater but you like me (or vice versa) you may still enjoy this, or at least find it a good means of procrastination.

For quick reference! A few things I enjoy (so, there's a 15-100% chance they'll come up):

- theater
- cats
- picnics
- scarves
- the ocean
- the words "counterintuitive" and "naturally"
- taking photos
- olives
- Seattle

Annnnd, time to get to finishing (starting.......?) 2 books for class next week.

  1. As you strike out on your own, I'll avoid posting all the fatherly do's and don'ts knowing you already have them well internalized. Enjoy your time in Scotland and I'll look forward to seeing your posts. I'm a big fan of both theatre and you. So what's not to like?

  5. OMG, Kim, I had no idea you were a cupcake fan. Welcome to the club! One of my favorite things to do is check out cupcake places everywhere I visit. Magnolia was my first. Kat and I had cupcakes in Harrod's in London on Tuesday! Yum!!! Gail
