We're in the middle of the show right now, but I have some down time before I have to put some make up on an actor, so here I am, writing my blog before I run out of time!
Today has been overall a good day! I started the day tired. 6:30 comes ridiculously early. But I got to jazz anyway, and it ended up being a great class. We massaged each other's backs to loosen them up before stretching them and it really made a marvelous improvement. I felt so good and loose the rest of the day.
MT Acting was fine, my scene wasn't rehearsed at all, but I'm not worried about it. I sat in the green room and worked on finishing my World Lit paper.
Lunch at Einstein Bagels. Always a fabulous choice.
Work was fun, I started making my friend Tyler's shirt for his dance piece in the dance show. China. Silk. AHHH.
I had a good lesson in which Joey told me that he's really proud of the year, and more specifically the semester I've had. It's always incredible to hear things like that from people you respect.
I found out that I didn't, in fact, fail my biology test from last week. I got an 80. Fabulous!!!
The show was fine, everything ran smoothly during the show, but we had the KCACTF respondent tonight and that literally. Dragged. On. For. Ever. I wanted to shoot myself. We had the most long-winded respondent and the costume crew were just like, why the eff do we even have to be here?? It was awful.
At least I finished my World Lit paper at like, 5 o'clock today, so I don't have to stress about finishing that right now! Now is the time to relax in front of some well-earned Youtube subscriptions and try not to think about how stressful this weekend is gonna be...
Hope your days were wonderful!

BEDA Day 13
Today has been interesting to say the least.
Started off by watching "O" in World Lit, since we just finished reading Othello. It's ok, but it's kinda strange... during the love scene, Odom (Othello) looks into the mirror that's hanging on the wall and sees Cassio. WEIRD.
Tap was fun, we added on to our Outcome piece and ran it a couple times. It's so warm outside and humid that I was disgusting by the end...
I sang in rep class today, too. Last time all school year, hooray! I sang "A Part of That" from The Last 5 Years, and it went really well. My mom told me after class that I had sung the hell out of the song, which is really weird because it's MY MOM, and she DOESN'T SWEAR. Not often, anyway. And not usually about my singing. It was a great new experience =]
Work was crazy fun today. For whatever reason I'm just really enjoying my job in the costume shop. I never thought I'd like sewing, but I really, really do. It's great to know that I have this awesome skill if I ever need it, and I can do a lot of things on my own now. We're working on shirts for the tap number in the dance show right now. So that's what I worked on.
But the best part was that my boss, Miss Tracy, got all the people on costume crew for Hamlet a pair of small scissors on a ribbon to wear around our necks as a present for opening. Since last night was my night off, I didn't get mine until today when I went in, so it was the nicest surprise EVER. I wore them all day and plan on wearing them tonight during the show. *happiness*
I decided to skip Theatre History and use one of my two free skip days to work on my World Lit paper, since I hadn't read the play or the Script Analysis chapter that was due for today, and I want to be able to go out tomorrow night instead of frenzily working on my paper the night before it's due. Plus, I hadn't used any of my skip days yet all semester, not even during Piazza, so I figured it was about time. I plan on going the rest of the semester, so what of it, right?
In any case, I got about two more pages of it done, so all I need is two paragraphs and I'm DONE. I'm so excited. I can't wait!
So here I am, sitting in the ridiculously FREEZING green room, wrapped in a blanket, trying to feel my toes and writing my blog post before I go change into my blacks. Which really just consists of me changing out of my shorts and into my jazz pants. Whatever. I'm preparing to travel to Denmark tonight, so you'll excuse me if I must dash off now.
I hope all of your Wednesdays were as good and productive as mine!
HPRT: Our sound check song is some crazy Dub-step remix to Hedwig's Theme from the first movie, and it's been playing in the green room for probably the last solid week.

BEDA Day 12
Kelly is playing "Harry Potter is Dead" by Ministry of Magic right now. I seriously want to cry right now. So many emotions swirling around about HP.... *le sigh*
Today has been a freaking awesome day! It started off with a canceled jazz class, which allowed me to sleep in a whole hour and a half extra, which is always a beautiful thing. I actually got to look decent today, as in not in a sports bra and shorts and t-shirt and looking like a slob. I wore jeans and a pretty shirt and my grey cardigan. Hooray for not looking bad!
MT Acting was fun, Bridget and I are so solid on Take Me or Leave Me that it's basically a joke. We're just having fun with it.
I was gonna work on my World Lit paper after that class, but instead Kelly and I went to Einstein Bagels to get lunch. I adore everything bagels with cream cheese. It's the only way to be =P
I'm working on a really gorgeous dress for the dance show at work in the costume shop, made of China silk and white chiffon. It's. So. Freaking. Pretty.
Great voice lesson with Joey, and he paid me a really great compliment today by saying that I've been in such good vocal standing this semester, and that I've figured so many things out that now I'm just singing really consistently. Consistency is a singer's bread and butter, so I'm so, so grateful for him to tell me these things and to have helped to me to figure them out over the past two years. Joey is truly a beautiful soul.
Biology wasn't as bad as I feared because we did not, in fact, get our test grades back, so we're offsetting the bad news for another 2 days. Hooray! AND. We got out of class wayyyy early, so now I'm at Kelly's dorm listening to MoM sing "Don't Leave" and it's beautiful.
So because I'm like, the world's worst blog topic chooser, Kelly thought I should talk about who my favorite Hogwarts professor is (not DADA, because they change so much). Sooooooo:
I honestly do think my favorite Hogwarts professor is Snape. It's so hard not to love him when you think about everything that he sacrifices and is put through growing up. Basically, the whole Prince's Tale chapter in Deathly Hallows is why I adore Snape. Just.... AH. You can just tell that he loved Lily so much and that even though James was horrible to him and they had such a tense dynamic, Snape would do anything for Lily. Some say that his motivations were selfish, that he only did what he did because he wanted Lily back, but... while that may be true, he still wanted to preserve what little of Lily Potter was still on earth, and that meant Harry. It was the love of Lily Potter that saved Snape from becoming a truly despicable human being. The fact that he was able to love anyone or anything shows how he's a stronger character than Voldemort. People tend to lump them together. Not me. Snape is one of the most layered, interesting characters that I've ever had the privilege to read about, and I will forever view him as my favorite Hogwarts professor. Yes, he's a douchebag while they're all at school. Yes, he's unnecessarily cruel to Harry and the others. But he comes through when he is most needed and ultimately sacrifices so much more than any of the other characters to do the right thing.
Ok. Heavy moment gone. RIP Snape, May 2, 1998 <3
I have to go now. I'm going to see Hamlet tonight on my one night off of costume crew. Hooray!!

5 MONTHS UNTIL I TURN 20.
You know. No big deal or anything. =P
It's interesting how things end up being either better or worse than you expected. Take, for instance, the production of Hamlet I'm working costume crew for right now. When I first found out we were doing Hamlet in the round, with heavy rock music and in only 90 minutes, I kinda freaked out. I'm a bit of a Shakespeare purist, and while it's good to have different interpretations every now and again, I still don't believe in radically changing things. Shakespeare is pretty much perfect the way it is.
So heading into this production, I was nervous. I have a lot of friends in it, and I was excited for them, because Shakespeare is so much fun, Hamlet especially. I was simultaneously excited and apprehensive going into Crew view last week, but I put aside my fears and tried to keep an open mind for the sake of my friends.
Lemme tell you. It was the right choice.
Say what you will about Shakespeare and the person who's directing it and the concept, but I'm gonna tell you, I'm very excited. Working on costume crew with 5 people is allowing one of us to sit out and watch it a night, and my turn to watch is opening night tomorrow. Having seen everyone in costume and make up backstage, I legitimately can't wait to see what I saw last Tuesday put together with all that AND the lights. I'm so proud of my friends who are involved in the show, and even though it's not perfect or ideal Shakespeare, it's absolutely entertainment and it's worth your time, even if you are a purist.
So haters put your insults in your back pocket for one night. Come out and see the show =]
Night, all!
HPRT: I found out that someone danced to Hedwig's Theme from Harry Potter tonight on Dancing With the Stars. Kind of made my life!
Current Book: Beowulf for my World Lit paper

BEDA Day 10
Elizabeth Lester. Is. My. Hero.
She just informed me that Cassondra Clare's City of Fallen Angels, which I have been waiting for for probably over a year now, HAS BEEN RELEASED FOR 5 DAYS AND I DIDN'T KNOW. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?
Either way, I promptly marched myself over to Amazon and bought that baby for only $14. Hardcover. Yeah, that's right!
So that was a momentary distraction from my World Lit paper. I'm trying really hard to not watch Youtube or just stay on fb chat with my dear Emily and get some real work done on this paper, but let me tell you, it's hard. I basically know what I want to say, but forcing myself to put it on the virtual page that Open Office has created via pixels is really challenging. I'd much rather be watching Tangled or reading Anna and the French Kiss or eating dinner NOW because I'm ravenous, but alas, I must discuss why Grendel and Sir Gawain both being cowards means that Middle English readers expected their heros to be less heroic and their monsters to be less monstrous than we do in today's world. At least, that's the point I believe I'm attempting to make... in 5-6 double spaced pages.
The good news is that it's doable. It's gonna be a lot more doable than my last paper for this class, and I have her criticism to work on from the last one so hopefully I'll get an A on this paper and not a B+ like the last one. The question of the moment is, however, if I sluff off now, do I have time during the week to complete this?
Answer: probably not. I'm working Hamlet every night this week, and it's due Friday, so... I'll probably work on it when I'm not changing someone's costume, but tonight is first dress rehearsal, so I will have virtually no downtime tonight. Thus the pre-dinner frenzy to get some work done.
I have no idea why I'm saying any of this on my blog. It's not like it's interesting... Maybe I just need to write down my thoughts as I think them so that it's down somewhere where I can reflect on them and make a final decision. Ultimately I think I'm gonna put my nose to the grind stone. Unfortunately.
First countdown of the year!

BEDA Day 9
I think I've hit that point in the semester when I just don't care anymore.
-I still have 3 full weeks of classes.
-I have the whole run of Hamlet to get through.
-I have a World Lit paper due next Friday.
-I sing in rep class on Wednesday.
-I have a whole other assignment for Theatre History due sometime between now and the end of the semester that she hasn't even assigned to us yet.
-I have my last scene due for Musical Theatre Acting.
-I have at least two outcomes to prepare material for.
-My dad's Birthday is coming up next weekend and I have no ideas for presents.
-I have my first BFA-mandatory show audition the last week of classes for which I am completely unprepared. 30 second comedic pantomime? WHAT?
All of this I have to get done with BEFORE I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT FINALS. And I've hit a wall. I just have no motivation for any of it, except perhaps my last scene for MT Acting because at least I don't really have to worry about that. It's gonna be easy. Bridget and I are solid on it. I'm not worried about that. But everything else... just... how am I gonna work up the motivation to power through everything when I'm over this semester and I'm over all these classes that I'm taking and I don't really get that much time to relax because as soon as the semester's over I'm getting my wisdom teeth out and then starting summer school for two core classes that I'm in NO way excited for?
Hating on the world right now. I'll get through it eventually. Off to Ben's to watch LOTR, hopefully that will cheer me up =]
HPRT: Wishing I was in Miami for the Miami Yule Ball. Wish I could see MoM again.
Current Book: I'm going over Beowulf and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight for my World Lit paper.
