I started to write out my schedule for the next week, and realized that it was too full to bother with. In short, I will be busy. My mom's coming on Tuesday, and I'm excited about it (but also hopeful that I don't get pissy with her). I'm ready for the end of the program, even though it was really valuable. I need a couple weeks off. Which I ( Read more... )

Gary Beach was just as charming as he could be. He told us fun stories about The Producers and La Cage and Beauty and the Beast, and shared a little bit of his process with us by telling us about how he's preparing for playing Thernardier in the upcoming Les Mis revival. I wanted to hug him. He was so cool ( Read more... )

I just saw The Drowsy Chaperone for the second time, and it was every bit as brilliant as the first. I simply WILL play the Drowsy Chaperone one day, though of course no one can be as brilliant as Beth Leavel, who's currently doing it. Everyone in the show was high energy and on their game, despite a mediocre Tuesday night audience. Inspiring. ( Read more... )

I loved him.

It's been tough here. I've been both working very hard and getting very frustrated. I'm going through an artistic growth spurt, and it's painful ( Read more... )

My second week here was grueling. I love being challenged, but it's . . . challenging. My muscles ache every day. I'm constantly sweating in dance class and walking down the street. I haven't lost any weight, though, because I eat too much (and spend too much money in the process) - plus, I'm on my period (could also contribute to the non- ( Read more... )

I'm now sitting in Bryant Park, loving the free wireless internet. Week one of Circle in the Square is now done. It was brilliant. I don't hate anyone in my group, and more importantly, the teachers are all clearly brilliant. This also means they're intimidating, but I can handle it ( Read more... )

So, here I am! I took Amtrak in yesterday, with all of my bags (they seriously weighed more than I did - luckily, Daniel helped me get to the train station). I fell asleep pretty soon after getting on the train - and woke up about an hour later to find two sailors sitting across from me. Literally. They were like 24, in the Navy, and one of ( Read more... )

I ended up finishing my paper with very little pain once I got started. Then I went to class and took the final test, which also went well. Soooo . . . I'm done with gen-eds! FOREVER! TAKE THAT LIBERAL ARTS EDUCATION!

And now I'm packing for New York, which is surreal. I'm leaving tomorrow, but it doesn't feel like it. Wish me luck, America.

I am writing my Global Cities paper. I would rather be eating ground glass while listening to Kenny G ( Read more... )
