First quarter
Well, i'm on my fall break this week, so i figured I'd update some before I reformat my laptop.
1. Started a radio show with my friends Stephen and William. It airs every Friday from 6pm-7pm. The shows started out a bit rocky as we were getting used to it, and now are starting to get much better. If you wish to listen to it, but you aren't in the Beloit area to tune into 90.3, then I would suggest you tuning in online with the address http://belcon.beloit.edu:8000/ It is a very serious show about very serious topics. Maybe. You'll have to listen to find out.
2. Started a sketch/stand-up comedy group with my same friends Stephen and William. Our first performance shall be on November 3rd and 11pm and November 4th and 11pm. I hope everyone that can attend will, because it is going to be hilarious. The group consists of 9 college students, ranging from freshman to 5th year seniors. They are also planning on giving us some heads up, and letting us do some standup to warm up comedians which will be coming to campus later this year, which is going to be awesome.
3. Assistant Stage Managing our musical, Two Gentlemen of Verona, which is a play by William Shakespeare which was transformed into a musical in the 70's. It's very interesting with a lot of catchy music, and much different than the original Shakespeare play. It's been a lot of work so far, but not nearly as much as the Stage Manager has put in. I must say though, I'm enjoying every second of it, and couldn't think of a better way to be spending 3 hours every night, and I'm completely serious about that.
4. School has been going so-so. It started out ok, got a bit rough, and now I'm fighting it to retreive my loss of grade when it got a bit rough. Social psych is very interesting, but the teacher thinks there is only one right answer, and that is word for word out of the book. So my own interpretations don't work with him. Theatre History I haven't studied enough for the tests. But Human Bio is a breeze, as well as Stage Management.
5. I shall be Stage Managing a dance concert that we have every year this winter. The workshops are at the beginning of December and the actual dance concert, Chelonia, is in February if I remember right. It is supposedly very easy to Stage Manage, and from what I can tell, my sources are definitely correct.
6. On Saturday I learned how to use a MIG welder, and spent an hour playing tag team with it, while creating some artwork out of steel. I'm still not going quite fast enough, so there is a bit of extra metal, but my lines are doing fairly decent, considering I've had less than an hour of practice with it so far. There is a good possibility that after Two Gents is over, the shop head is going to allow us to practice some more with it, which would be amazing, because I love welding!
7. I finally gave beer a shot this weekend. It was a very cheap beer, Busch, but it was something, none the less. Got tipsy for the first time as well. It was a lot of fun, I must say. We had a strike party, as usual, after we struck the set for our first show this year. The past 2 shows I was unable to stay around for it, but this show I made sure to, and I will definitely admit that I started my fall break out the best way possible.
8. I've grown a goatee. There have been mixed reviews of it, and I myself am not sure how I feel about it. If you have happened to see me with it, let me know what you think. Should I keep it, make it shorter, grow it out more, or cut it all off?
9. I have resolved that after the wonderful reviews from everyone on Saturday that I am going to start wearing pants again. Therefore, as of Saturday, Tim has put his shorts away and started wearing his few pairs of pants. So far, people have told me that I: look taller, my friend William; look hotter, Stephen's girlfriend; look the same, Robbie, may he burn in hell. I decided to ignore Robbie because most of the time he doesn't notice things anyway. Feel free to give me comments on how I look as well. Maybe they don't look good and I should go back to my shorts, but for now I'm giving them a shot.
10. I am off for this week, though I'm probably pretty busy. No matter though, if you wish to see me, give me a call and I will do my very best to find time to spend with you.
