So after reading Mel's lovely, introspective entry, I feel a bit inspired to reflect on this term. I went expecting college to be this amazingly perfect world where everything was fun and my life would automatically fall into place. And it wasn't. At first that was kind of hard to take. Everyone tells you what a blast college is and how you ( Read more... )

Ladeda... Happy late thanksgiving everyone. Mine was pretty unexciting. Some turkey here, some hockey there. And now I am home. (We went out of town for the hockey tournament.) Still no job. Still looking. I always find that I think I have a lot to say, but once I start writing I don't have nearly as much to say as I thought. Hmm... It ( Read more... )

So I'm home. If that's what this house that I've lived in for a month is to be called. Although it's a lot better than when I left. Pictures on the walls etc. And I got to sleep in my own bed last night, which was wonderful. I'm sure it will start to feel more like home, but yesterday was just a bit weird coming in to a house that still felt ( Read more... )

So I should be finishing up my paper.. but before I completely fry my brain to a pulp I thought I might procrastinate a bit more. It's weird. Just 7 more pages and I will have completed my first term at knox. Strange. I am ready to go home, but at the same time it's not really going to be home. This thanksgiving is going to be weird ( Read more... )

So I thought that having an essay instead of an exam would be easier. WRONG. I have a 15 page essay due on Saturday. Gross. I am trying to make myself write, but it's not working. In other news, I just got a part in one of the studio shows going up winter term. (Studio shows are student directed and only run one weekend.) Anyway I was really ( Read more... )

I am going to see Wicked in Chicago. WOHOO. Knox is taking a group. And I definitely got up early this morning to get tickets..so now it is time for some nappage.

Today has been a weird day. I slept late, which was amazing, but after that I really didn't have anything to do. No homework really..no soccer.. no play. It's so strange. I should have enjoyed a day open and empty to do anything I wanted.. but I really didn't. For some reason it made me depressed. I know that sounds so strange.. and I don't ( Read more... )

So I am enjoying this crazy new thing called free time. I slept till 10 today- aMAzing. And played pickup soccer. Which was fun. And the funniest part was playing with guys who feel horrible if they so much as step on your toe. Every time one of the guys hit me or accidentally stepped on me, they would appologize profusely. It made me smile ( Read more... )

So tonight was the last show.. and man did we end with a bang. 393 people. (the theatre only holds about 400-425). An encore...and standing ovation. Which actually means something here. We don't get them every show. WOW. It was so awesome. It hasn't quite hit me that this wonderful thing is over. And I'm not quite sure it will until monday ( Read more... )

This really is not good. Auditions for As you like it were two nights ago and I didn't feel like I did stupendous.. I felt ok.. but not great about auditions. In terms of breaking a leg, I would have stubbed a toe. And I know that at the second day of auditions, they sometimes have informal call backs.. but sometimes they don't. So all ( Read more... )
