FINALLY! SORRY!!!!!

I know! I know! Finally another post from the unfaithful blogger. I figure to make it up to you, I'll tell a joke. :)
So this man goes into a pub in Ireland and orders three pints of Guinness. He sits at a table and takes a sip from each, one after the other, until they are gone. He does this same thing, the same day, every week. So of course the bartender and other people in the pub are starting to wonder what on earth he is doing. So the bartender finally asks him, "Why do you order the three pints and drink them like you do every week?" The man answered, "Well, I have a brother in America, and one in Scotland, and we all decided that once a week on the same day, we would go into a pub and order three pints of Guinness to drink as if we were together". The bartender and everyone who heard thought that was pretty cool, and so time went on. Suddenly, the man came in on his usual day, but only ordered two pints. Everyone got very concerned. Finally the bartender went over to him and said, "I'm very sorry for your loss". And the man answered, "Oh no! I just gave up beer for lent!"
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I know you all thought that was funny....
So anyways, I will blame my inconsistency on the fact that it was essay week this week! Literally for the last three weeks I've been sort of freaking out. For some reason, most modules like to put their essays all due in the same week....yeah, that was a brilliant idea. "Hey, let's freak the students out and put all of our essays in the same week! Muahahahhahaha....." You know that's what they were thinking.....So I turned in three essays this week, one on Monday, and the other two on Friday. I gave the biggest sigh of relief I think I've ever given once I dropped the final essay in the box. I'm telling you it's a whole different ball game when you're in a different country. All of a sudden, you are so particular about making sure the format is right, and sweating over how many sources they might want, and so on and so forth. Yeah that was me for the last two and a half weeks. Good fun! But they're in, and last night to celebrate, we went out for a drink. That's what you do around here when you finish a project. You don't go out for ice cream or anything, you go for a drink. So I had the St Andrews Ale in honor of the victory....then I dashed down the street to the Byre because I had to SM (Stage Manage) Romeo and Juliet! That was really fun actually. Since the company had all the people they needed for everything else, I really just did what I did as an ASM back at VU. I made calls, to both the cast and audience, timed the show, and then locked up afterwards and all that jazz. But I got to sit in the wings at the prompt desk the whole time (which is really just in case of a fire, during which I would get the actors off stage and outside). So I got to watch the show which was really fun! It wasn't my favourite rendition of the play, but the adaption was interesting and it was only a cast of 5, so everyone, even the lovers, played multiple roles. Something tells me Sue would have something to say about this version. But overall it was good. The guy who played Mercutio was also the nurse, Friar Laurence, and the Prince. It was quite comical. But that was fun. And now it's saturday, and Meg and I are going to be outside in the beautiful March weather! It's getting steadily warmer here across the pond! Woohoo!

Cheers
