The End Is In Sight!!!

So, my final final is today (that made me laugh because I'm sleep deprived; don't judge me), and it is for New Testament and Christianity. You would think it would be an easy one because, you know, I'm Catholic and have been taking religion classes since I could remember. And I'm a freaking religion minor! But, no it is actually really difficult. Have you memorized the content of every single book in the New Testament? All 27 of them? Unless you are Tre', I doubt it. People need to stop telling me it's going to be easy, it's kinda pissing me off... However I would seriously like to thank Tre' the Bible teaching major, who came and taught me everything I should have learned this semester. I'm pretty sure I would fail this test without him. Now I think I may be able to manage a C.... hopefully. Well, I'm thinking I should go study a little more...

Lions and Tigers and Finals, Oh my!!

So, it's officially finals week. A week of regret. I wish I had paid more attention in class, I wish I hadn't waited until the last minute to study, I wish that I hadn't taken so many hours, I wish that Government would go die in a hole, the usual. This could explain why I am currently blogging, instead of studying like I should be. As each test draws closer, I want to study less and less. I have one final down, History of Theatre. Aka, the only final I wasn't freaking about! Now... well let's just pray that I can withstand the torrential lack of knowledge pouring in one ear and out the other and focus long enough to seperate my kleshas from the doshas. If you need me.... please distract me!

The Worst Thing About College... And the Best

So, I am sitting here waiting for 12:01 so that I can log on to register for classes. This is one of the most stressful things I have ever done. I had to put together my own schedule, and now I have to log on and try to get in to classes that have 3 seats left. Three! For the whole Freshman class. I'm screwed. I'm hoping tonight is going to be one of my lucky nights... That would be nice. This is the worst thing about college, and the best thing about college: being in charge of my own schedule. For example, if I get my way I don't have a class before 11:30. However, it could also turn out that I have missed something major in my major and come Senior year I am going to realize that I don't have everything I need to graduate. Yea, I'm just minorly stressing out. Or majorly stressing out, you choose.

Sad Titus Calls...

So, Titus Andronicus is officially over and I'm sad. I love Shakespeare and it was such a great experience. Everytime I'm on stage I remember why I'm a Theatre Major. Thanks to everyone who came out and watched it, especially my Back Andrews girls. Now, I have two weeks until Gypsy auditions, a ton of homework that needs to get done, and more projects than I care to remember... Any I couldn't happier :)

Save Alarbus!!

So, opening night of Titus Andronicus went so very well! Everyone was nervous and slightly freaking out, but the play went so smoothly, everyone's blood worked well, and no one missed entrances. Plus the crowd adored us, so I you could say it was a smashing success. I can't wait for the next four nights! Plus my family is coming to see it Saturday so I can not wait! And everyone else should come and see it too!!!

Opening Night Anticipation

So, I have a problem that I like to call "off-stage fright". It's exactly like it sounds. For the entire day right up until the moment the light hits my face on stage I am petrified. As in, so nervous that all I have eaten today is toast. It's like gigantic metal winged butterflies are trying to get out of my stomach, and I play with string trying to calm them down. This morning in Poelvoorde's class I didn't have my string but my hands were acting like they had string and I was staring off in to space, until Becca called my name and I realized that the entire class was staring at me. This is my case of opening night jitters. And I can't stop moving. But on the bright side, opening night is a mere four hours away. I have two hours until fight call that will be spent looking over lines and deep breathing so that I don't pass out. And yes, I am aware that I am currently rambling. So, if anyone sees me acting weird this is why. On with the show!

Finally Fall.... Break!

So, I realize that I haven't posted in almost... forever. Although it doesn't seem like it. Probably because I've been too busy to even breathe!!! With Dollhouse wrapped up my life has gotten slightly less busy. It was a rousing success with about 40 showings, more screams than I can count, and even somone peeing themselves. All in all it was a wonderful introduction to the world of college theatre. Now, I am focusing my sights full speed on Titus, which opens in a week and a half. If you are in the area, definitely come and see it. There is stabbing, killing, blood, and just a whole wonderful mess of stage combat. We get to start using blades this week. Heck yes. Besides all that, I just finished my first ever set of midterms. All I have to say is, What on earth is the final going to be like?! Just kidding... sort of. But they did go well. I am spending my last night at home (Fall Break went by so fast!). I successfully read the entirety of Film Wizardry, which is a book on the making of the Harry Potter films, and I cannot wait for the sequel, From Page to Screen, to come out. It was so fascinating, and I really want to meet Rupert Grint... On a different note, I went to my high school today and received the best hug ever from my favorite ginger. I kind of actually miss it. However I am so ready to return to school tomorrow and to the lovely ladies of Back Andrews! Ta-ta for now!!
