Transition

The rains stopped, thank god. When I came here I was assured that it never rains here, they were lying. It's not the actual water whilst it's falling that annoys me here, it's what happens after it hits the ground. It's rather unpleasant to walk through massive puddles because they block the path between you and your destination. And they are everywhere, it seems as if the drain system here was an afterthought at best. I even saw the classic comedy sketch in real life - the one that as a person is walking along, suitably wet already, a car drives past and just happens to pass through a collection of water even the Hoover dam would have problems retaining, just to see it all take flight and land perfectly covering the poor person. Admittedly it brightened up my day, but must have ruined theirs.

All my main classes are finished. I made the instant transition yesterday from going home and straight to work on things I needed for the next days classes, to going home and crashing on my bed and getting a rather good nights sleep. I have a class on saturdays, but that's not classed as anything to do with the main course, it's mainly a bit of fun in which anything can happen. We've tried to work only in class for that class, no outside work as it were, to test out a theory someone posed about rehearsal techniques. The idea being that working only when your partner(s) for the scene and the director is there gives you a more focused rehearsal period, instead of having to clear away all the crap you thought was brilliant when you were in your room. It's hard to say if it works due to the inconsistent people attending and various other factors, but it was interesting to try nonetheless.

So here begins the third transition since I've been here, getting sorted for leaving. I leave november 2nd, which is still just over a week away, so I'm not rushing. I don't want to leave, as I've stated before, but I have to. I've met some great people here, and made a great group of friends (ironically, only 1 if which is American, the rest are either Kiwi or German), so I'm using this last week to cement the relationships I've started to make here, so that they remember me when I'm back next year.
