Just Another Day in Europe

So I'm sitting in my British American Musical Theater class and we are talking about how the opening song makes the movie a hit or not. We watched a few, and then my professor announced that we were gonna watch a song from the musical NEWSIES! so of course I"m like "Professor I LOVED that movie when I was younger." and hes like..."Jenna its was Disney's biggest musical flop ever. It wasn't even released anywhere other then America." and then hes like "OK well we are going to watch the opening song from Newsies... "and I'm like "because it was the only thing that saved the musical? " and hes like "no, because it was responsible for the complete failure of the film.... " oh well. I mean I kinnda get it now. The movie was a bunch of boys singing about the misery of child labor in New York on a set that looked like Disneyworld instead of New York... ehh... He ended class by saying that because of people like me, that Disney just started making money off it again and they are working on a stage version.

Thanks to Amanda informing me about a new band that I ended up seeing on and AD int he tube and on CZECH MTV in Prague, I went to go see MIKA do an in store performance on Oxford street. He was really good. IDK if hes popular in the US yet but he will be. Hes brand new and once he gets a good manager and entourage hes gonna be huge.

Everyone here is sick. Its awful. They professors say that we are all coming in contact to the new germs, but I don't think they are very friendly. I really hope I get better soon... or at least have my voice back.

We leave for Amsterdam on Thursday so If I don't talk to you til then, have a good weekend, and I'll be home on Sunday.

Love you,

Jenna
