Day out in London

Yesterday Sam took us out on a nice day in London. We met up with him after the morning assembly in London and headed for one of the buildings of University of London. We went to a lunch session about Storytelling and Theatre. It was nice, I thought, even though it was a lot of english words and terms from the academic world I couldn't understand, I succeded to get the point. I think.

After the session we had a race. Which team were going to get to Covent Garden, the piazza, first. Lea and Joe, that took the tube, or me and Sam that walked?! Think about it.

At the piazza we went looking for street performances. We studied them carefully and thought about why some people are just embarassing while some just are wonderful and you really don't want to walk away from them. What is it that makes a good performance good?! Why did I feel uncomfortable when nobody wanted to stop for that guy, which made me stay longer in pity and encouragement?! These were some of the thoughts that popped up while we're observing the performers.

The rest of the afternoon: We went looking for a play and couldn't find a cheap one so we gave that up. Instead we went to the National Portrait Gallery and met up with Sam's sister, their cousin and his friend. So...it was a little bit of a Sam's family reunion... haha.. but it's was nice! We went to nando's and ate some spicy portuguese food. Really nice!

Everybody went their way, and left were the three volunteers. We went to Nero, the coffeshop, had a coffe (at least me, the others had hot chocolate) and talked about the future. Now I'm really inspired to consider my opportunities.

And yeah! Me and Sam were the winning couple in the contest the tube vs. walking. Oh yeah!!!

Additionaly I just want to tell you that we now have a youtube account and here's the link: ActFourCharity

Love, Linnea

A quiet day at work

Today has been a quiet day at the office, no assemblies and no Sam, less phonecalls, less people in the office and a actually a great deal of concentration.

I need a break so that's why I'm writing now....

I runned into some problems on the website and are really low on sugar, or as I usually say: chocolate. This means if the webpage doesn't in some peculiar way fixes itself or me having myself doing somthing else, I'll going to explode of frustration.

Let me write about the others instead!

Lea has finally got her money on her phone that the mobile company told her were gonna pop up into her mobile. Her courage was on top and she finally called them. The mystery about her missing money is now solved. And on the other hand she is now finished with the database that she's been working with the last two months, yey! :D

This day is a victory for Lea!

Finally, Joe's been working on the promotion video for Starcitizen and he's almost there. He's been working hard, and I helped him recording Sam for the voiceover.

Now I'm feeling better! So... have a nice day!

Linnea

I'm putting up a picture too, this is us with Abraham, taken the other week. Aren't we a cute team!?

This is the new blogger writing

Now it's time to get this blog up and running again!

This is one of the three new volunteers at Act4 writing. Let me introduce myself.

I'm Linnéa, turns ninteen really soon and have been working for Act4 like two months and one week, exactly. I'm the swedish girl and hope I'm the musical one, my thing is sound and recordings. I'm a part of a team of three people and we realized that we're fitting really well together with our skills. The oldest is the american guy, also called Joe, and he turns 23 soon. Joe is the one that has a major in theater at the university, I mean, how cool isn't that!? The youngest in our herd is Léa, the french girl, 18 years old and a great great dancer. She can, if she wants to, make me cry, just by doing her thing, she's is pretty amazing!

So... that's us!

You're going to find out more about us this year, but I'll leave it your imagination for now.

With our skills we've been doing our first set of assemblies and enjoyed it as much as kids in a candy store. Last week we went to train with another Time To Act team, that's the new name for a team that's delivering Act4 material in primary school assemblies. Currently we're no longer one Time To Act team, we're two, and you can find the other team in Rotherham, South Yorkshire. If you want to know more about the changes in Act4, check Act4's website.
