Never Ending

I could blame me not blogging recently on tech week, show week, ACTs (puke), an internet virus, etc. etc. ETC!!!!!! (just saw "King & I" at Copperstar, it was amazing!) But the real truth is that I'm always crazy busy with stuff like that so there is no excuse. haha Activities are never ending. Today, for example, I pictured a relaxing Sunday where I reorganized my room, helped clean the house, and work on my HUGE English project (yeah haven't started that Ancestral History thing yet...) but... I'm now double/triple booked with activities till 10pm. Of course it's fun and I ain't complaining, but it's crazy!!! ;)

"Wizard of Oz" is over and mixed feeling come with the end of every show. Post show depression didn't hit too hard because I see the lovable cast each day at school along with our two fabulous directors that I take classes from. I wasn't happy with the show at first and I think that's because it was different than the companies I usually work with. By the end of the run, however, I realized how blessed I was to receive the role I did and how many people enjoyed the show. Thank you to all those who came to see it or support the Performing Arts in any public school. I wish students had more opportunities to express them self through music and the stage.

Time to register for senior year and it's bittersweet. No matter how crazy this year is, I want to be a junior a little longer. I hope that our class carries the same air of prestige, confidence, and love the seniors did when I was a freshman and sophomore, but I'm starting to doubt it. I would like to thank all of those extremely talented people that inspired us younger class men. For some reason I don't think our class has ever been as cool as the Seniors of '11 and '10. *Keep your fingers crossed that auditioning goes well these next few weeks and I can drop my lunch to spend senior year taking the classes I love and aspire to be in.*

This should be another blog, but it's on the mind a lot so I guess this blog will really be never ending... ;) "The Great Gatsby" A book I read over the summer for English. I hated it. I hated Daisy and Tom and Myrtle and George and by the end I sorta hated Nick and Gatsby too. I liked Jordan, but now watching the movie I don't particularly like her either. With most books we are assigned to read though, I feel like I've learned something. It's true all the characters can be idiots, but most people are frustrating in real life too. I sympathize with Nick and how he seems to be just an honestly good person that is put in the most AWKWARD situations. I can draw parallels to real life from the bizarre problems that appear in the novel. No I didn't enjoy it, but in the surprising words of Laura Jones, "Shakespeare writes my life." I can also attest to the genius behind well written stories by authors that can capture how people feel on a day to day basis.
