Okay, so more a rough week...
So, now that the internet problem has been resolved (thank you, new router), I can make a real update. Kinda.
Umm...lets see. Brown Bag! Brown Bag auditions went very well, and we got everything cast with minimal pain in only about 3 1/2 hours, which is apparently really impressive. I'm directing my own adaptation of James Thurber's The Catbird Seat & The Secret Life of Walter Mitty which is the season opener (!) and later in the semester I'm directing Ghosts by Ibsen, which is really exicting. We lost one of our guys though (who happened to be in both my shows), so I may have to swap Ghosts for something else, but hopefully I can just sub in someone else instead.
Finals sucked. My theater final was fine and my grade is already posted: an A. Shocking, you say. My music final wasnt, because my teaher was awesome. However, my Reformation final included I.D., Quotation analysis, and two, count 'em, two in-class essays. As part of the same test. And immediately following that, I had to go straight to my Shakespeare final, which included short answer, passage analysis, and, you guessed it, another in-class essay. However, Dr. Yim and Ryan were way cool and brought cookies and fruit and chips and all sorts of goodies and spent the whole test walking around bringing us stuff.
Other things...Tom and I are apparently going to be really busy on the film front next semester, because we've already got two projects slated to film at the end of the semester and into next summer. One of them is the trailer for a soon-to-be published book written by our friend John's girlfriend. I got to read the book, and it's pretty neat. (Never fear, I'll pimp it out to y'all when it gets closer to the actual release date.) The other project is a web series that we're co-writing with the intention of filming over the summer.
I've been catching up on some reading the last few days, now that school is finished. In addition to Vanitha's book, I finished The Moonstone, which was very good, and The Idylls of the King, which was very *facepalm*. Next up are the book Abbey loaned me called Cold Tangerines and The Mists of Avalon, which I borrowed from Tom because I am a terrible Arthurian geek and have never actually read it before. I've also been cross-stitching hardcore, because I have a birth announcement which needs to be done by March and a wedding announcement for June.
So that was my long, boring, mostly-for-my-own-reference update. I hope you all are having lovely Christmas seasons so far.
