I finished my sevice requirement today. It's vaguely sad. Things I'll miss: The real employees, some of the people I was feeding, the quite informative gossip between fellow volunteers I got to listen to. Things I won't miss: the EVIL plastic wrap, the disappearing plates, bowls, and serving utensils, the fellow volunteers I could never count on to ( Read more... )

Some fun recent events:

Saturday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., TKD tournament. It was my first tournament in... a very, very long time. Let me put it this way: my last tournament, I was still a red belt, and I was pretty darn pathetic. I only decided to go to this one because, hey, going off to college soon; I thought it might be nice to have some real ( Read more... )

Rehearsal today was oh so very tiring... productive like whoa, but oh so very tiring.

Um, there's been errors in my countdown. I'll fix it next time, I'm too lazy this time, but it really is a shame. I think I missed a week or something. Ah well.

After rehearsal I had a fun conversation about how senior year is cruel because the whole time, we have ( Read more... )

Wow... I think my reflection paper for Acting & Directing, the one due tomorrow, is the worst reflection I have ever written for that class. It's just--wow, it's bad. (So why aren't I fixing it? you wonder... well, because I'm lazy and because I don't really like the question and because I missed a week's worth of presentations. Well, like, two or ( Read more... )

You know, over all my years of school, I've had a somewhat fluctuating opinion about group projects. I like them best when I'm working with one of those people who insist on doing everything themselves, because they usually care about quality and as long as there's quality-caring I'm fine with not doing it myself.

But, way more often, I'm working ( Read more... )

So I was just doing some research on Kerry Butler, currently starring in Xanadu, and I discovered that she's actually had a fairly successful career so far: she was the original Penny in Hairspray on Broadway, she did Audrey in Little Shop, she did Belle in Beauty and the Beast, she did a bunch of other stuff ( Read more... )

Mosaic cancelled/postponed. Probably will end up being the 26th. And hey, it really is snowing! And I have a lot of free time I wasn't expecting to have today!

...I'm off to enjoy it.

Today at school I got the sheet that's got yearbook stuff--senior quote, senior superlatives, my list of activities... yeah. Speaking of activities--have I done anything other than drama club 10, 11, 12; prep players 11, 12; and because I feel like listing it, philosophy club 10? And fencing 9, but that's like... there's only one other person in ( Read more... )

For no good apparent reason, I just went and looked at all of my photos on facebook from writing camp last summer. It's kind of weird... I know a number of my writing-camp-friends are going to go to Susquehanna, and if I hadn't chosen Rochester instead, I could have been going there with them. But I'm not, so all I have to remember them by is the ( Read more... )

So... I hit someone in the nose at TKD today.

To elaborate: I hit someone in the nose without meaning to. And no, this was not in any context where we were wearing* sparring gear. My bare fist. Their nose. Completely an accident, of course, but I am a black belt! Such accidents should not happen! Ever!

Appropriately, I now feel much shame.
