Looooong weekends and Sloooow mondays

Oh man this weekend has been soooo long! I don't even know what happened.  I think I forgot I had a blog and now it's been forever since I posted. :P  Sorry peeps but I've been doing SO MUCH STUFF!  First of all, I finally finished the RA process to apply to be a Resident Assistant next semester.  I had a resume, cover letter, interview, group process and setting up a new email account just to get through the application process.  Talk about intense.... I've never even done an interview before- so I had no idea what to expect.
We ended up talking about the trombone and how I'm an Irish Viking.  I'm not sure what that means but they wrote it at the top of the papers. Here's hoping! **crosses fingers*

I also started a pottery class- wheel throwing.  You know- making pottery on the wheel thing?  I'm terrible but it's so much fun! :D  I need to get a shirt that I don't care about so I can wear it in case I get clay on it.  Thankfully I haven't ruined anything yet.  I've made a little creamer type pot and I'm trying to make a candle holder- just a cylinder with a lid to hold a tea light with stars and designs cut out in it.  We learned how to make lids last Saturday but I'm not sure how well mine turned out.  I'll give you an update after it dries.

Let's see what else have I been up to?  I found this really interesting movie called "Boys don't cry".  I haven't made it all the way through yet but its really good so far.  It's about a transgender guy(girl) and their life- it's really cool.  Or at least it is halfway through.

Oh!  Something really awesome is happening at school!  There's a student group that is getting the musical "Once Upon a Mattress" put on this semester.  We've already learned most of the songs and are getting the choreography down.  We're going to sing our opening number in a couple weeks to raise awareness of the show and if I can I'll get the video posted.  It's really fun- everyone wants to be there and we sound good!  (which anyone who's been in a musical can relate to good singers make it better)  I've never been in "Once Upon a Mattress" but we rewrote the script a little bit so we don't have to pay that incredible amount of money for it.  I'm going to see if I can get music and do a parody of the musical "Oliver!"  I'm so excited about it!

I also had all my midterms last week.  >.<  Ugh I'm soooo glad they're over!  Now I just have to some homework for the week... but it should be pretty easy and relaxing after last week.  I'm in the musical and staged readings (it's basically like a normal play run except it's 5 short scenes done in a quicker period).  The rehearsals are keeping me really busy.  But theatre is my passion- I LOVE IT!  The challenge of keeping everything in order just makes it so much more rewarding when you finally perform and its awesome!

Until later peeps- I gotta go to math
