Spring. The weather is beautiful, the birds are singing, everyone is happy and frolicking, I'm in love (yay! cheesy!), and life is--on the whole--pretty darn good.
Unluckily for me, my internet had decided that it no longer wishes to function. Therefore, posting updates to this blog has been a little bit difficult. However, thanks to the kindness and generosity of Amanda Deal I have been able to write this.
Luckily for all of us, however, today was a day of unparalleled beauty which has inspired me to write in lofty and unnecessary prose. But, seriously, today was spectacular. Everyone was so happy: girls frolicking in their brightly-coloured sun dresses, boys in shorts and occasionally without shirts, general merriment all around. The weather might have just made up for the Sodhexo's banana-on-a-stick-drenched-in-white-chocolate specialty. That's right, kids, it was that good.
Anyway, to celebrate the beauty and general splendour, the girls of Robert's Second went on a field trip to Eddie's. Marie and I set up camp underneath the partial shade of a tree and just sat there, being happy. Others soon joined and what had been two girls playing Mika became a full-out event. Now, I don't really like the sun. I'm pale and pale people don't like the sun. First of all, we can literally feel our skin burning when the sun comes out in the morning. Second, sun produces heat which produces sweat and discomfort. Third, and perhaps most importantly, pale is the new tan. C'mon now...let's admit it. Now that I have had my little sun rant, let me say, I did enjoy the sun today (with beaucoup de sunscreen, of course!).
I also had rehearsal today, which Allegra thankfully moved outside. And yes, we did perform Romeo and Juliet on the steps of Martyr's, facing out over the lawn, being stared at by passersby (they had no idea why they were biting our thumbs...*giggles*), and literally performing by the light of the sunset. Sigh. Why can't life be a musical? I'd really like to know.
If every day could be like today, I might just die from happiness.
About Me
- Madeleine
- These little sections are always awkward, aren't they? Hmm...how to describe myself. I won't promise a riveting read, but here goes: For all those Jane Austen fans out there, I am an Elinor Dashwood. I've always been rather quiet and, consequently, I have focused my time and effort on calm and reflective pursuits. I like being alone or with a group of close friends, I love to read and to write, and I take great pleasure in observing the world around me--from social interactions to the natural world. Some scattered facts: I love British television and have a special passion for British drama and literature. I love the theatre and am happiest when upon the stage. I enjoy knitting, cycling, and playing tennis. People I admire: Jane Austen, Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, F. Scott Fitzgerald, John Singer Sargent, Lewis Carroll In the future, I hope to become a professor and/or a writer.
