I'm still alive

Yes, yes.  I know.  Things have been a bit slow recently on the blog.  That is simply because things off the blog here in real life have been hectic!
There has been a lot going on on campus lately, mostly due to coursework and drama rehearsals.  In fact, this Wednesday the 2nd of March marks the opening date for Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead.  The play which I am involved with.  It is going to be a fun show, and is done in promenade, meaning the audience is technically free to move anywhere they please.
On top of that, I have had a large amount of playwriting, directing, and rehearsing to do for other people. I am in no way complaining, I am merely saying that I have to budget my time more wisely, and this usually ends up with very little time to dedicate to the blog.

In the mail today, I received a package from home containing Valentine's Day.  You see, at the Spaulding family household, we have a Valentine's Day tradition.  On Valentine's morning, or the day closest to the 14th, my mom gets up in the morning and makes breakfast.  Only, it is Valentine's Day themed!  For instance, we have pink milk, pink eggs, red strawberries, etc.  All the food is a Valentine's Day color.  Then, the dining table has a themed drape and is set with candy hearts and kisses, etc.  We also each get a little gift.  In the mail today, I got a packet of sweets, heart napkins and plate, and a plush stuffed heart bear.  Just a way to keep home away from home.

What else have I been up to?










For one,  I decided to take a picture of the "Trolley Graveyard" that I had mentioned in a previous post.  This is essentially where everyone on campus dumps the shopping carts once they've unloaded their groceries.  The photo I took is pretty well stocked, but not the biggest pile I've ever seen here.

The 56
Also, for my dad and any other gear heads out there, I spotted this beauty in downtown Egham.  I wish the owner was around so I could have had a chat, as this Desoto is licensed in the US and has plate and stickers to back that up.  It was a beautiful vehicle, and made me miss my father's project car, which is a 1956 Chevy Bel-Air Wagon.

All for now, more to follow.
