Slow Week

It's been a rather slow week since I last posted. For our adventure last Wednesday we went to a new tea shop which has just opened in North Bennington. It is called Night Jars and it serves lovely teas. We had a pot of Lavender Earl Grey and Peach Blossom White Tea. Both were delicious.

On Friday Izzy and I decided to get dressed up, just for fun. Izzy is working on a character for our acting class and she wanted to try acting a bit more like her. Izzy and Zoe had some friends in their room which was nice. We, that is to say Rory Izzy and I, then went to Megs room where we watched a movie with some other friends. All in all it was a wonderful night.


Coffee Hour this week was Fairy themed, but I wasn't in the mood to dress up and forgot my camera so alas I have no pictures.
I also went to visit the grave where Robert Frost is buried in Bennington with a friend. I loved the epitaph on his tomb stone which reads "I had a lovers quarrel with the world". We had such a lovely time looking at all the old tomb stones and walking around that part of town, which is perhaps my favorite. It so sweet and very East Coast like. I didn't have my camera with me, but I hope to go back soon.
I took some pictures at the library during my Sunday morning shift. So now you can see what the library looks like!

Mass Moca and other adventures

Classes are going well. We've been working away on our scenes for our Nuts and Bolts of Acting class. It's been interesting to work with a very different type of director/teacher like Dina, vs Jenny who I had last term.

I've been spending a lot of time with Izzy and Rory lately. I have three out of four classes with Rory, so I see him quite a bit. It's been really nice just sitting around, listening to music and talking.

We had a really wonderful Adventure Wednesday last week! We decided to go to the museum Mass Moca, which is about an hour away in Massachusetts. It was a lovely day and we had the best time exploring the exhibits and sipping chai tea.

There was one exhibit with lots of different patterns and colors on the walls so I did a series of shots with Izzy on different backgrounds.


This week we had a "Midnight Dinner" that we, or rather Janielle our house-chair, cooked. She is from Jamaica so she cooked the most delicious Jamaican food. We all danced and ate and then proceeded to fall straight asleep. It was so much fun!!

Our Coffee Hour Theme this week was Saturday Morning Cartoons. I didn't have a whole lot of knowledge in this field, but I ended up teaming with some friends to do Scooby Doo (although we didn't actually have a Scooby). My favorite pairing was definitely Maddy, Catherine and Ben who did Hey Arnold, which I've never seen but from pictures they look just like the characters.
