A Brave New World

On the heels of my previous post, I have a new plan. I have ONCE AGAIN altered my major. This time it isnt so drastic. I sort of just added on to what I am already doing. Instead of being an English major, I am now a Theatre Arts Major with an added set of English courses to remain eligible for my California English teaching credential. The only problem with this new major is that I am now required to report to three different departments in case of a problem. English, Theatre Arts and Dept. of Secondary Education. Lordy... I will be getting a lot of walking done around here. This new plan also makes my stay here a little longer, but its ok. I am sure you will hear me bitching about it later on, but until then...

As for life outside these prison walls, it goes on as usual. I am heading up to San Leandro tonight to see Addela. A bit of a drive, but well worth it. And this weekend is yet another batch of performances of Hello Dolly. But this weekend, I have two on Saturday. So I am going to be pretty spent come Sunday night. Thankfully I will have a lot of people coming to these shows this weekend. Nine or ten tomorrow night, and six on Saturday. So I will have a lot of inspiration to put on a great show. I cant wait. I really love doing this so much.

Thankfully, we are now pulling into my favorite part of the year. With that slight nip in the air and a overcast skies, it reminds me of early fall in Wisconsin. Sort of makes me homesick a little. To alleviate that, I will be taking a trip to the homeland in January, that is if airfare prices and my schedule cooperate. Come on karma, reward me! As for now, its just me, school, getting things ready for next semester (which includes making time to be an Ast. Stage Manager for WVLO's next show, A Chorus Line). So to all of you who call me a workoholic, you are right. There I finally admitted it. Take a picture, call the president... mark this date down on your calendars.

Ok, thats enough of that. I am off to get some odds and ends done around campus, such as arguing a lame parking ticket I recieved yesterday. More on that later when the anger inspires me. I am in a far too positive mood to rant. I hope all is well for all of you out there. If I haven't heard from you in awhile, drop me a line. Or hey, if you are a reader and you just happened to stumble upon this site, say hey and email me. Peace...

Drowning Man Getting A Glass Of Water

Wow, I really am so completely sick of school. It isnt a laziness issue, it is an issue of just being burned out. I have been in school continuously since I was four. I am almost tempted to take a break from school and just clear my head. But I know my parents would never say yes to that. They would think I wouldnt go back. But I just really need to take a break from learning. Peace...

Love Thy Audience

Ah, gotta love that applause. Seriously folks, I cannot believe it took me this long to get into musical theatre. I am having so much fun doing this, which was augmented by the roar of the crowd during the bows, and at certain parts of numbers I was in. We all hit the gallop so well, so rocked the place. God it felt so good to finally hit those paddle turns... It feels weird now that there isnt any rehearsal since we are in performance now. I dont get to see all my buds from the show 6 days a week. Now its just 3. I find myself being somewhat bored. It DOES give me more time to do HW, but really its just been more time to ignore it... But, other than the show...

Life goes on as usual. School sucks, major Senioritis. But I still manage to make it to class. Although, one class is DEFINATELY getting me down. I just cant get the material at all. But, I can't give up. I guess I will be alright. I just gotta hunker down and keep myself in line with my studies.

Lets see, show... check. School... check. What else? Well nothing really right now. Those two things are sort of my life. So for now... Im out. More when there is some... Peace...

Back In The Saddle Again

Yesserie, after over two weeks off, I am back. It has been a rather hectic time for yours truly. Rehearsals have given way to complete costumed run-throughs, which are very draining to say the least. But, they really help a lot. We are really far ahead (knock on wood), so opening night isn't looking as daunting. Definitely a bonus. Other than the show, which opens Saturday, and you all better come, I have just been plugging away at school, relaxing at home... It has been rather quiet around there since my parents have been out of town. They come back sometime this weekend...

Life as I know it has taken a rather interesting turn in several ways. I have such a direction set for myself in my life now, that I feel somewhat strange. But its a good strange. Ok, random tangent over.

Again, I find myself limited on what I have to say, and I feel that trying to sum up the happenings of the past few weeks would be an epic endeavor. So to hit the highlights...

Caitlin has flown off to the UK to see Melanie, who I still miss dearly. And I finally went to go see her in Dracula at Ohlone. Awesome show. I can feel the friendship with her getting stronger again, now that we both are finding some time to see each other. I really want to be close to her still, even though things didnt work out as a couple.

Not Lenny is still on a sort of hiatus, and quite frankly I am sick of it. I want to get out there and do something. But I am tired of being the driving force in a band that isn't really mine in the first place. But that is a whole other rant for another day. As for now ladies and gentlemen, I will say this; Please come see my show! Check out the theatre's website for ticket info. I hope all is well in your world, and I will try and be more dilligent about posting from now on. Lets just hope my brain stays unscrambled so I have the ability to do so! Peace...
