Catching up...

Been either a.) too busy or b.) not near a computer, so sorry for the huge delay!

Anyhow...

I initially began drafting this at 7:30 AM, sitting in my chemistry class and pretending to take notes on material I was already familiar with from my physics studies. As wiped out as I was feeling (sleep deprivation while out of town (this was April... 25th, 26th)), I figured I could at least start an entry for all I've missed.

And what better place to start than all that lost time? I only wrote an entry for the first night of the play. Each progressive showing only seemed to improve its overall quality. According to the stage manager, I've finally "come out of my shell" with the cast and crew. They're all, for the most part, interesting, likable people. Despite having joined the group late to play a lead role with no prior acting experience, it seems everyone's warmed up to me AND the play has turned out to be a hit as well.Though I've affectionately sworn to "what happens backstage, stays backstage," I can certainly tell you that thespians are exotic, active, wildly full of personality, and simply fun people.

One such example of what's to be expected around thespians is rampant crossdressing. Due to a lack of male actors, many of the female performers had to dress and act for male parts (take THAT Shakespeare!). To advertise for the play, another actor and friend of mine "volunteered" to parade around campus in a dress. It worked.

With the play finished on the final night, -I- was volunteered to do the same. I'm still awaiting pictures of my antics, though I'm certain you all will be quite... amused.

Now onto more recent concerns considering it's MAY now. It seems things will finally be simmering down for me by the end of this week. I have an orchestra concert Tuesday and a pair of AP Tests on... Thursday and Friday...? Anyhow, my plate's VERY full, not to mention the work I'm still in the process of catching up on for the time I've missed.

Despite that, I did, to an extent, enjoy the camping (if you can call sitting around in a trailer with laptops, television, and DS's camping) trip I recently went on.

Anyhow, it's been a long run this school year, hopefully I'll be able to sit back and be insightful, comedic, or just simply relaxed, regular, and interesting with this blog.


Hasta Luega,

Leif


Oh right!

Feel free to spread the word about this project of mine! I would love to have people actually READ what I write here :)
