So the money crisis has temporarily been averted…..I went to Barclays yesterday afternoon to get a temporary card, and they looked at me like I had 3 heads…..They said they couldn’t help me and they couldn’t even give me any cash out of my account…..I was kinda horrified at this point….So I headed to Movement in the Aldates building, but my class wasn’t there, so I figured I misread the schedule and headed to the University Club, which is in the complete opposite direction from Balliol….So I was going to be 15 minutes late, but I really didn’t care given my financial disaster….But then I got to the UC and no one was there either….So I figured class must be in the Sheldonian which is right across the street from Balliol…..So I took the 10 minute walk back to the Sheldonian and sure enough class was there.  We spent the day talking about all the different drama schools available and learned a lot about Jackie (our teacher) as a performer and instructor….She’s taught Orlando Bloom, Ian McKellan, and tons of other names to pass through BADA & RADA…..then we spent the rest of the day doing traditional English dancing.  Kinda like what we did at the end of Tartuffe.

After Movement I went to the BADA office to see if they could help me with money, and they let me use the phone to call Bank of America….the woman I spoke to was incredibly helpful and is expressing me a new Debit Card which should arrive either tomorrow or Thursday.  In the meantime, BADA gave me a loan of 40 pounds to get me through the next couple days….Then I can pay back the 120 pounds I owe to friends and BADA for all my weekend/London expenses & meals.

I’ve come pretty far in my Cherry Orchard and Three Sisters rehearsals….still not quite off book for Andrey but that will happen by Thursday.  My Taming of the Shrew scene with Deanna is phenomenal…She is such a great actress, she gives me so much to play off of….I’ve never had such fun with word play before.

In Movement today we ended up just playing Mafia again…but I was killed first in 2 of 3 games….rude.

I have 2 tutorials (one on one coachings) tomorrow….one with my Modern teacher John Gorrie and one with my new voice teacher John Tucker (my old voice teacher Andrew Wade was only here for the first 2 weeks)….I’m not too sure what I will do for either, hopefully I will try to get my Sweet Bird of Youth monologue under my belt tonight so I can work on that……But I also want to start working on a hilarious speech by Launce in Two Gentlemen of Verona and a really dramatic one from Claudio in Measure for Measure…..so much to do and only a week and a half of classes left! No!!!!!!
