Tonight I saw RENT for the second time. The first time was in New York with Michael. Seeing it again did make me miss him. Especially since I haven't gotten to talk to him since he got back from Spain! Grrr! But anyway, this show was not as good as the original one on Broadway, but I guess it's really not supposed to be because that's part of ( Read more... )

Everyone has to watch "D-Day: Down To Earth" on PBS on June 2 at 8pm. My friend Phil made this documentary and I am very proud of him. It is his first "movie" and it is being broadcast nationally on June 2nd so that is really awesome for him. I got to see the advanced screening tonight down at the GPB building because I found out about it and ( Read more... )

He called Dad and Craig and John and told them all about it, so they ( Read more... )

I've decided that speaking in Spanish gives me confidence that I don't otherwise possess when speaking in front of a group. It's as though the Spanish turns me back into "Alicia," the person who spent 4 months in Spain. They couldn't say my name, so I had to be someone else. They didn't know "me" the shy person with no friends my own age who ( Read more... )

Tomorrow I have to give a speech in my speech class. It may seem like a strange thing to say, but when I signed up for the class I was under the impression that there would be no speeches involved (and I had good reason to think so), fortunately this is the only one we have to do. But seriously, when I found out there would be one speech I ( Read more... )
