Let my Cameron go...

Today I felt like Cameron from Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Sick and overly dramatic about it. Come to think of it, that's me every time I get sick.

I wasn't about to get out of bed, not for six flags, not for anything. Alas, around 1 o clock my stomach started to get really mad at me and I threw on some clothes and my sunglasses that cover half my face and I got some breakfast. Figured I'd get something to eat and write a blog about the last place we were, Connecticut. Since my internet wasnt working in my room (which is a whole other ANNOYING story) I went down to the "Business Center". Only two computers and a line of people! Good lord. Don't they know I need the internet to survive as much as food? So I decided to explore Springfield, MA. I walked around a little,admiring the pretty architecture of some of these buildings, but actually in hope of finding some decent shopping. Forget decent shopping, there was NO shopping! I finally went up to the hotel clerk and asked where about I can find some freakin shopping. Buuut of course, none in walking distance. Iy,yi yiii!! All shopping tragedies aside, in comparison to NYC, its cute, older, and ... shorter??I find myself comparing every place we go, to the good ole Big Apple but nothing quite makes the cut.

Speaking of not making the cut, let's talk about Wallingford, CT. Suburbia but worse. Ahhh there was nothing to do except a movie theater and a horrendous diner! So of course, the first day Paul and I went to the movie theater and the horrendous diner. Hey, we tried to make the best outtve the situation. I saw Sex and the City for the second time!!! I think there was about three people in the whole theater, including us.

Then we had rehearsal allllll day on Friday. Literally, all day: 9am- 7pm! That night we got back to the hotel, ordered some Chinese, and went to bed. Oh, Wallingford.

Surprisingly, the Chevrolet Theater, which we performed at was actually quite beautiful. There were pictures lining the walls of all the great performers that had been there. Everyone from Britney Spears to Bob Dylan! Hottttstufffff!

I had my first three show day on Saturday which was tiring as all hell, especially since the freakin AIR CONDITIONING wasnt working. Ughhh, try dancing your ass off in an egg costume in an 80 degree theater....its not pretty!!! But its ok, the creative team was there and after the shows I recieved great feedback from them, especially the director and choreographer...wink wink, nudge nudge!! The director said he was impressed that I had it so together at only 18. Oh, if he only knew.... haha.

Todays my day off so I'm going to go find the laundry place in this hotel...... That's a lie, I will probably ask my mom to do it when I'm home in three days! New York, New York here I come!!!

ta ta for now,
Christie


"I do have a test today. that wasn't bullshit. It's on European socialism. I mean, really, what's the point? I'm not European. I don't plan on being European. So who cares if they're socialists? They could be fascist anarchists. It still doesn't change the fact that I don't own a car. Not that I condone fascism, or any -ism for that matter. -Ism's in my opinion are not good. A person should not believe in an -ism, he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in The Beatles, I just believe in me." Good point there. After all, he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. I'd still have to bum rides off people. "
