So I am seriously considering doing the Semester at Sea program. It sounds kind of amazing. You spend around 100 days out on sea on a huge boat. You visit somewhere between 10 and 15 different countries all around the world. You get college credit because you have to take at least 12 class credits, one of which being a Global Studies class. Even ( Read more... )

Another failed attempt at this:

4. Freud for Beginners by Richard Appignanesi and Oscar Zarate

I will finish this one year...I just don't have the time. There isn't nearly enough hours in the day to ( Read more... )

I haven't posted in 7 weeks...that is crazy...

Hopefully, I'll find the drive to start posting again. We shall see...

So this semester is probably going to be the crazy busiest one I have had so far. I am directing two scenes in this show called The Umbrella Plays. It was written by a UArts faculty member and it is a compilation of like eight scenes ( Read more... )

So, this semester is pretty much done...we only have two more weeks when we come back from Thanksgiving and then finals. Weird.

I don't really know where all the time has gone.

Major Barbara went okay. Pretty much everyone hated the direction, but they thought we all did as a good a job as we could. Some people even loved it. They came back a ( Read more... )

So, I've finally come back to the good ole LJ and I hope this becomes a more semi permanent thing rather than skipping it for six weeks and then updating. I like the idea of writing out all of the crazy things that happen if for no other reason than to acknowledge their occurance and reflecting.

So...I'm a junior now and that is so freaking weird. ( Read more... )

13 might be the cutest musical I have ever heard. It's about a bunch of 13 year olds and Jason Robert Brown (and it weirdly sounds a lot like Parade which couldn't be more disimilar in subject matter) wrote it and it is just delicious. It should have been nominated for a Tony. I mean look at these lyrics:

"Hey Kendra. Don't be nervous. We're gonna ( Read more... )
