Tidings of Joy

So any day where I spend time with my incredible family and my beautiful niece is automatically amazing. I got my nails done and I wore my new favorite shirt. I chatted with some relatives about my major, and my cousin seemed to be incredibly supportive. Like. REALLY. And another one was talking about her daughter, who liked to dance and sing, and she said her daughter would "probably follow Sammy and go the performance route, which I would love." Honestly, ALL performers know the risk of this business, and are fully aware that they hav like .006% chance of making it. You really can't get mad when someone hates on you for following that dream because, let's be so real, they're probably right. But SUPPORT? UGH. Nothing feels as good.

SPEAKING OF FOLLOWING THEATRE. There's a Jan term (class for 2 weeks during winter break. McDaniel requires you to take at least one before graduation). A theatre tour through England and Wales. Touring historic locations. Seeing professional shows. Staying at some wonderful hotels and eating at cool restaurants. Touring through London. Globe Theatre. Roman ruins. Shakespeare's birthplace and Anne Hathaway's cottage. Cathedrals. Just to name a few things. AND, special feature available only this year. Tour at BBC, "Doctor Who Experience". My school is amazing. My professor is amazing. And my dad said he's helping me pay for it. I could've cried. I'm so happy. I don't know if it's for sure yet. It IS a lot of money. But. Oh my goodness. I'm so close.
