Ok.  That last post was unnecessarily dramatic.

These past two weeks were the first time that I've ever worked in a real, professional shop.  The degree of specialization of everyone's role in the shop was nothing like I had ever seen before.  There was one person who only cut fabric, another person who only dyed fabric, another person who only ( Read more... )

So....as of yesterday, I'm officially a college graduate with a bachelor of arts degree in Theater and Dance.

I don't think it's really hit me yet.

The period after finals and before graduation was a lot more fun than I expected it to be.  It was a lot like Janeapalooza except instead of one person leaving, it was the last hurrah for EVERYONE ( Read more... )

Guess where I WON'T be hanging out next month

As much as I complain about feeling like school is bullshit, I feel oddly jealous of my underclassmen friends as they talk about the classes they're taking next semester.  Just breezing through the course catalogue I've found a ton of classes I want to take, and it makes me feel like I'm just not "done" with school yet, like I haven't gotten ( Read more... )

Since I've been absolutely drowning with schoolwork, I can't even imagine the thought of leaving campus.  So last night I asked my roommate if she could do me the huge (but in my mind, not unreasonable) favor of exchanging the broken coffeemakers, just on a day when she was out doing errands anyway, since her boyfriend has a car and is here all the ( Read more... )

This may sound weird, but I think the best part about this French Film Festival class is going to Cinestudio every night.  I've seriously never been in a more beautiful movie theater and probably never will be in one like this again, and this intensive feels like a great send-off.  I think I'll truly miss going to see great films whenever I wanted ( Read more... )

Yay! I've officially auditioned a new piece for the Spring Dance Concert and gotten in.  Which means I will be dancing this duet that I am choreographing, as well as dancing in 3 other dances that other people have choreographed.  It will be a great mix of stuff...the piece I am choreographing with Sarah is totally weird, out there modern, and I'm ( Read more... )

So this semester I'm taking African dance, which is really fun.  The only thing that really bothers me is the attitudes of the majority of the class.  African and Indian at Trinity attract a lot of untrained dancers, which is great in theory, but it is so fucking obnoxious taking class with people who don't realize that there is something called ( Read more... )

I feel strangely depressed that my thesis performance is over.  It's been something that I've been so excited about for over a year now, and I feel like I'm really going to miss telling everyone I know and everyone I meet, "I'm going to make a performance about In the Aeroplane over the Sea."  I mean, I could just shift over to the other part of my ( Read more... )
