| | Soo... I just realized I should update this-- or rather, my reluctance to start on my English essay realized that I should update this.
I have little news. We're getting really close to finals, which is 1) death, but 2) indicative of the approaching summer vacation. Understandably, I have mixed feelings.
Oh! I saw Wicked. For $10 (gotta love Rice subsidies). It was... God... in a musical. It was... visually orgasmic, emotionally provoking, and just plain awesome. Unfortunately, Elphaba was a little off key a few times, but that's forgivable since she was, in fact, a really good actress-- and her voice was amazing minus the pitch issues. I feel like I've seen more plays this year that I ever had in my entire life... combined... and this one was definitely the best. Margie called me at intermission (after... calling eight times during the first act) and I believe my only words were: "oh... my... god... oh... my... god... oh. MY. GOD"
And I'm seeing Rent this summer! In New York! From really good seats! Screw Duncan and his cool vacations, I'm seeing RENT!
*pauses for jealousy to ensue*
Edit: Oh yeah!
Okay, I went to AFA (American Forensics Association... speech and debate) Nationals. It was... really aweosme. Our coaches told us before that the atmosphere would be really different, and it was. Surprisingly, it was less competitive (while more high stress); it was like everyone recognized that it took work to get there and was supportive of the competiiton. I got to see some really... amazing interpers (though unfortunately I didn't get to watch Duo Finals)-- cuz I was too busy watching Priscilla take FIRST in the NATION in Persausion (what a way to finish your senior year)!
I also decided that I like the way college does speech better-- especially POI. Everything has meaning and purpose and a point... articulating something that should be expressed or considered or just... known. I can't wait to start working for next semester (which would reauire, again, the summer thing to come about).
