to be determined

Alrighty, I’m going to try and make this short cause it’s late and I should be in bed, but I gotta blog first!

Update 1: Opening night of R.U.R. was last night, and the show just keeps getting better. I’m really stoked for my parents to be coming to see me/the show Friday and my BFF TK coming Saturday for the final show and the incredibad after party.

Update 2: I am running for the Social Coordinator position on the Drama Students Federation (DSF) Executive. Elections are next week and I’ve got my fingers crossed. I only have one opponent, so i’ve got a 50/50 chance! I like those odds.

Update 3: I don’t actually have a third update, but check out this DSF election poster I made (before I realized we don’t actually campaign… too bad).

Hello Internet!

Updates, updates, updates! I’ve been working very hard on the spropets [sets/props] crew for the University of Guelph’s main-stage production of R.U.R. [Rossum's Universal Robots] this semester and having a blast doing so. The set is looking really great, I can’t wait for show week! My parents and my BFF Tiffany are coming to see the show from back home, which will make show week even better! March 20-27 is our show week, which is only two weeks away! Watch out for a link to some production photos I’ve taken throughout the process.

I’ve also been hard at work rehearsing my Fundies (Fundamentals of Directing) scene project. The actors are doing a really great job and everything is going quite perfectly– especially considering how hair-brained I can be. We’ve had three rehearsals so far and I’m hoping to bring the girls in for an in-class rehearsal this Wednesday.

Last night my friend Karl and I saw Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland so that I can review it for my Contemporary Cinema course. The film was really well done, I was very impressed with the whole thing.

And now, the piece-de-resistance: I was involved in a 24hr project this weekend! Starting at 7pm on Friday, I was involved in the writing and directing of a 15-30 minute play, which was performed at 7pm on Saturday. The resulting play was entitled ‘Battery Life’ and I hope to get the performance video uploaded as soon as possible onto this blog. I really love 24hr projects. Their challenge/reward cycle being a grand total of 24 hours is definitely a plus.

What is there left to be updated about? Hmm…

I may have a summer job already! My aunt has this full-time nanny job looking after a young girl of about six and a boy of about four that she is willing to give up for the Summer. She says she needs a vacation. The downside of this job is that I would have to spend the Summer in Timmins instead of at home. This is also kind of the downside, since Timmins is where my cousin lives and I could potentially get a lot of work done on my musical/my own music-related endeavors.

Well, we’ll see how everything goes I guess. S’later internet!
