The last 3 weeks
I can't believe it's already the middle of November! This semester has gone so fast. It feels like I just moved in, and we just had auditions for Cabaret's first show of the season. And now we've finished all our mainstages for the semester and are about to put up the special project and director's scenes. Thanksgiving Break is this week, and after that, there's only like two weeks until finals start. And then we're into our last semester as undergrads. Which is really freaking me out.
Anyway, the last few weeks have been crazy. Besides still recovering from/being sick, there was class of course, and then the fun stuff :-) Let's see. Ah yes. It'll start with my all nighter at Cabaret finishing the Anne Frank set. We literally left the theater at 7am. I went home and was gonna just stay up cause I had class at 10. I remember sitting down at my computer when I got back, then the next thing I knew it was noon and I was in bed. Totally missed class, and didn't really care either. Made it to the second one though. Good times. Then that Thursday was the tech run of Midnightmares for SGP at Spotswood High School. Friday, Ashley & I borrowed Mel's car (woohoo) and went to Midnightmares. The first few minutes were fun as I tried to figure out Mel's car, but it was smooth sailing after that. We discovered Mel's wonderful mix CD and sang all the way there and back. Afterwards was the "Mel's Finally Single" Party (aka the Mel-ebration). We all had so much fun, it was great. Midnightmares performances again Saturday & Sunday, and then Sunday night we booked our Spring Break. Ash, Car & I are now booked for a week at the Lucayan Resort in Ocean City, Maryland. I'm excited. The next week, on Wednesday I met up with a bunch of the Wild Party-ers at JJ's to see one of Pat & Jeff's bands play. Car went with me but left pretty soon. I was so glad she came though, and she seemed to have a good time, so that was good. I had so much fun, it was brilliant. Everyone was there, well almost, and it was just great. The next day after class I left for Atlantic City and the NJEA Convention. I love teachers convention. I always have fun, and of course Atlantic City is great too. We came home late Friday night after spending the day at the convention and the evening at the casino. Saturday the whole family spent out. We went shopping. I got a new phone. I think my father finally just got tired of listening to me complain about my old one. Then my parents decided they wanted to see Chicken Little, so we went to see that at the movie theater. I got back on Sunday in time to unpack then head to Cabaret for the staff meeting.
So that brings me up to this past week, and if anyone is still reading, I'm amazed. Wednesday Ash and I went to Harvest Moon to see WUPA play (another 2 High band). At first they wouldn't let her in because she didn't have her license, so we were like, well, we'll stand out in the hall and at least listen to one or two songs before we go. But then we riffled through her wallet and found her age card from Australia and decided to try that. It totally worked. All they had needed was something with her birthdate on it. So then we found a table in the corner by the band and stayed there for a while. We were the first ones there we knew, but then everyone started showing up. Steve, Aubrey, Brian, Candice..., all wonderful to see, plus the millions of people in the band, Wil, Uton, Pat, Jeff, Rabbi.... Anyway, it was so much fun. So this is now one of my new favorite things to do. I mean, I've always enjoyed seeing friends perform, but these guys are just amazing, and oh, I love it! What else can I say? Thursday night a group of us went to see the midnight showing of Harry Potter - Ash, Mel, Rachel, Steinhart... and then as soon as we walked into the theater we saw all these people we knew. Parag, Steve, Melissa, Chris, were all there, and I saw Anne, one of the Rutgers students that I was in England with last semester. We had a great little chat before the movie started, and it made me miss all my Study Abroad Mates even more than I already did. And it was kind of funny cause the next day I saw Evan, who was at Sussex last year too. Friday night was the Cabaret Open Mic night, which was cool to go to. I had never been to one before. They were great to listen to and were all really good. Mel, Emma, Ash & I went to the diner afterwards. Good times.
Yesterday was Girls Day. Ashley and I went to New York City. Early. We got in at about 10:30, went straight to the TKTS Booth in Times Square and waited for an hour for tickets to Rent. We ended up with amazing seats. Sixth row orchestra! They were technically partial view, but there was very little that you couldn't see. A little expensive, but completely worth it in my opinion. We wandered NYC for a little before the show, had an amazing time at the show, and just an overall kick ass day. Afterwards, we headed back to meet up with Carolyn to go to Menlo Park Mall. Ash & I got some nice new clothes at New York & Company, on their sale racks of course. Their clothes are way too expensive otherwise.
So now it's Sunday. I slept in cause I was knackered from yesterday's excitement, then Ashley and I went to see Hillel's Joseph at Cabaret. Now I'm home. Procrastinating. Because I have two midterms this week, which totally sucks. Oh well. I suppose it's better to get them over with before the break rather than having them hanging over you the entire time.
So I guess I should get to work now. Besides tomorrow's midterm I have a load of other homework. ::sigh::
Goodnight.
