Auditions went well, thankfully. Despite what I said earlier, we are not being split into beginning and advanced acting - yay. Instead they are splitting us into 9 different groups of 14 people. We will be doing scenes and working with those 14 people for the entire term. I think this method is a LOT better because it is harder for people to form cliques, etc. My audition was yesterday at 11 a.m. and I find out what group I am in today at 3 p.m. We are having a big party tonight at the school to meet the faculty and get ready for the first day of class.
Last night was really fun and I got to know a lot of people. We went to see "War of the Worlds," which was an ok movie and then we went out to a club. Everybody finally got a chance to relax and dance with each other. I became friends with a random girl named Annika who is from Oxford and she helped me work on a cockney accent. Then she really wanted to have a sword fight with imaginary machetes (no idea how to spell that word), so we did...hahaha. When I read that sentence, I can tell you are thinking "what???" but no worries guys, I escaped the machete fight unharmed. After the club we went back to Balliol and played some serious frisbee (flashback to ICS-awww) out on the lawn and looked at the stars and chatted about the program to come that we all know nothing about.
Tomorrow is July 4th and Michael Simkin is coming to visit me! Have fun in Washington D.C. Mom, Dad, Sean and Mike. I hope you're feeling better Mike!

Hi Darby!!! We had fun with Mike in D.C. and it was so fun to get away. Now we are back to our normal routine. I am doing swim camp this week and next. After that I will no longer be a swim coach; I will be a ????????????
How was your Fourth of July?
I love you.
Hi Darb:
Glad to know that you are safe.
Please tell everyone that you can in Oxford that we sympathize deeply with the terrible loss from the terrorist attacks in London today.
Call home tonight. I'd love to say hello and see how you are doing.
Hey Darb,
I am so glad you are ok. They are putting machine gunners on the metro here in DC. Thankfully we are in recess right now or else this place would be utter chaos. I hope all of your friends are alright. Stay safe. Write me if you can mcahill@poets.whittier.edu
or just post your phone # because I deleted your phone message.
Darby, I love you.
Shelby and Jimmy are safe. Shelby was at her flat sick and Jimmy was two stops away from the blasts. I am sorry that this is the world we live in. Call us. XOXOXO Mom
Hey, Darby,
So glad you are safe in Oxford. It must be devastating, for you and everyone in the program. We are so sorry for London. Sorry for the surviving families and for all the injured.

Love,
Aunt Ann
